Optimising US Transmission Network: Paper 

Optimising US Transmission Network: Paper 

May 15, 2026 | , ,

Grid-enhancing technologies are playing a critical role in modernising the US power system by improving transmission efficiency, increasing grid reliability, and enabling greater integration of renewable energy resources. The report highlights the need to modernise and optimise the US electricity transmission network amid rising power demand, ageing infrastructure, growing renewable energy integration, and increasing grid congestion. Power grid enhancement solutions can unlock substantial additional transmission capacity from existing infrastructure, often at a fraction of the cost of building new infrastructure and in months rather than years.

Germany’s Battery Opportunity: Report 

Germany’s Battery Opportunity: Report 

May 15, 2026 | , ,

Germany hosts around a quarter of the EU’s total large-scale battery capacity, with over 2.5 GW operational by the end of 2025 which is more than double the capacity of just two years earlier. Germany has a strong grid-scale battery pipeline, but the lack of an ambitious clean flexibility strategy and the preferential treatment of gas in forthcoming auctions risk slowing deployment, causing the country to forego the benefits of batteries and remain locked into gas import dependency for decades. Empowering batteries will help fortify Germany’s energy security.

Australian Energy Market Dynamics: Report 

Australian Energy Market Dynamics: Report 

May 8, 2026 | , ,

East Coast Australian energy dynamics from the report indicate that operational demand remained steady, with distributed PV growth offsetting underlying demand growth. Renewables supplied a higher share of NEM generation, reaching new Q1 highs. Expanded battery capacity reshaped supply patterns across the day. WEM supply mix shifted further towards renewables, while battery storage reshaped intraday supply patterns while average WEM energy prices remained consistent year-on-year, with lower volatility, and essential system services costs declined for the west coast energy market.

Climate Finance Landscape in Ethiopia: Report 

Climate Finance Landscape in Ethiopia: Report 

May 8, 2026 | , ,

Ethiopia’s climate finance has gradually increased but must rise by at least fourfold to meet identified needs. Tracked flows averaged USD 2.3 billion annually in 2022/23, equivalent to approximately 1.7% of GDP. This is an 11% increase from the annual average of USD 2.1 billion in 2020/21 but still well below the estimated USD 10.6 billion annual requirement under the NDC 3.0 (2025-2035). Ethiopia’s heavy reliance on international public sources exposes its climate agenda to the constraints of external concessional finance.

Canada’s Clean Energy Investment Opportunity: Report

Canada’s Clean Energy Investment Opportunity: Report

May 1, 2026 | , ,

Canada is well positioned to capture up to $200 billion in clean energy investment over the next decade, but realizing that opportunity will require improvements to the systems that move projects from approval to construction. The country has strong wind and solar resources, a stable policy environment, deep capital markets and a growing slate of projects already in development. Canada has the fundamentals to compete for that capital, but the work required to do so is substantial and time-sensitive.

Global Energy Review 2026: IEA Report

Global Energy Review 2026: IEA Report

Apr 24, 2026 | , , , , ,

Solar PV, the largest single source of growth, met more than 25% of higher demand, followed by natural gas, which contributed 17%. This was the first time on record that a modern renewable source contributed the largest share of global energy demand growth. Demand for oil, natural gas and coal all grew in 2025, but at a slower rate than in 2024. Low-emissions sources combined – solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower and other renewables – contributed nearly 60% of the growth in global demand. Coal demand in 2025 grew only modestly above 2024 levels, rising by around 0.4%.

Türkiye Electricity Review 2026: Report

Apr 17, 2026 | , ,

In Türkiye, electricity generation has shifted rapidly over the past three years, marked by accelerated growth in solar energy and record wind installations in 2025. Wind and solar combined generated 22% of electricity, helping to limit the pressure on natural gas imports caused by drought-driven declines in hydroelectric generation. However, coal remains the largest source of electricity generation at 34%, with two-thirds of this production relying on imports. While Türkiye still lags behind many European countries in renewable energy share, it stands out with its expanding battery project pipeline.

Energy and AI in East Asia: Report

Energy and AI in East Asia: Report

Apr 2, 2026 | , ,

The rise of AI puts East Asian countries in the spotlight. While AI is expected to be a significant driver of electricity demand, it also has major use cases in the energy sector and can contribute to more efficient and optimal processes. A major area of use is in the electricity system, specifically more optimal integration of VRE sources such as solar PV and wind. Utilising AI effectively in this field is particularly relevant for East Asia since countries have all set net zero targets, even though the targets and timelines for expanding renewable energy sources vary between countries.

Energy Shocks Remind Europe of Gas Reliance: Report

Energy Shocks Remind Europe of Gas Reliance: Report

Mar 27, 2026 | , , ,

The first ten days following the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East have been a painful reminder of the EU’s fossil reliance. The rise in fossil prices increased the EU’s fossil import bill, which could have a knock-on effect on electricity prices. The cost of gas-fired power across Europe has increased by more than 50% due to the gas price spike since February 28. The EU paid an additional €2.5bn for fossil fuel imports in the first 10 days of the conflict.
