Employment Implications of Clean Energy in EU: Report

Employment Implications of Clean Energy in EU: Report

September 11, 2026 | , ,

EU is rapidly transforming its economy to achieve climate neutrality, guided by legally binding emissions targets. At the same time, it faces ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, including recent tensions in the Middle East. As such, it is necessary to accelerate the EU′s clean transition and further reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels and vulnerability to energy price shocks. Europe′s transition to climate neutrality is reshaping its industrial and employment landscape, although clean energy technologies in the EU face structural challenges such as relatively high energy and labour costs, permitting and planning bottlenecks, and some limitations in access to critical raw materials.

Building the US Electro-Industrial Economy: Report

Building the US Electro-Industrial Economy: Report

September 11, 2026 | , ,

States across the United States are competing to attract and retain the infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy assets required to support growing demand for electricity, advanced industry, and digital infrastructure. The global shift to an economy built on electricity and computerization represents a new economic development undertaking both for the United States as a whole and for individual states. These high-value industrial and infrastructure projects bring jobs, investment, and additional businesses, making them a worthwhile prize. But whereas most of these projects are commercially viable in the long term, some struggle to obtain private financing because they face permitting, market, infrastructure, or first-of-a-kind deployment risks.

Who Is Actually Powering South East Asia’s Buildings

Who Is Actually Powering South East Asia’s Buildings

September 7, 2026 | ,

Corporate power purchase agreements, on-site solar, and battery storage are moving from pilot projects to standard practice across the region’s building sector. What has not caught up is uniformity. For most of the past three decades, power procurement across South East Asia ran through a single channel: a state-owned utility signing long-term contracts with independent power producers, mostly for coal and gas. That structure delivered grid buildout at scale, but it left little room for a corporate buyer to simply choose a renewable supplier. The shift now underway, allowing companies to contract more directly with renewable generators, is a genuinely new development, and it is unfolding at different speeds in every market.

Enhancing Europe’s Grid Stability: Forced oscillation guidance on draft NC RfG 2.0

Enhancing Europe’s Grid Stability: Forced oscillation guidance on draft NC RfG 2.0

September 7, 2026 |

The ENTSO-E and WindEurope, jointly released the Technical Group on Forced Oscillations Report, to provide technical guidance on the proposed forced oscillation requirements introduced in the draft NC RfG 2.0. Although the report is non-binding, it is intended to form the technical basis for a future implementation guidance document after the EC formally adopts the revised network code. The report primarily focuses on wind power plants, although future requirements will also apply to other inverter-based power park modules, including solar photovoltaic plants and battery energy storage systems. As Europe moves towards an increasingly inverter-based power system, the report provides a practical framework for managing forced oscillations while highlighting the need for continued research and collaboration.

Impact of India’s Battery Demand on Imports: Paper

Impact of India’s Battery Demand on Imports: Paper

September 4, 2026 | ,

India’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales have grown rapidly, with a compound annual growth rate of 62.5% from fiscal year (FY) 2019–20 to FY 2024–25. Yet this growth has not been matched by growth in domestic battery manufacturing and India’s battery cell demand is currently met almost entirely through imports. As BEV adoption accelerates further, battery imports may continue to grow if local battery manufacturing supply chains remain inadequate, even as reliance on imported petrol and diesel declines.
