GE Aerospace Demonstrates Narrowbody Hybrid Electric Engine System in Ground Test

GE Aerospace announced a new test milestone for hybrid electric aviation, successfully demonstrating power transfer, extraction, and injection in a high-bypass commercial turbofan engine. Ground testing of a modified Passport engine was completed in 2025 at Peebles Test Operation as part of NASA’s Turbofan Engine Power Extraction Demonstration project.

Home Battery Storage: How Homeowners Are Achieving Energy Independence

Homeowners are achieving energy independence by utilizing renewable energy sources and storing the excess energy in home batteries for future use. Energy is expensive, and sustainability efforts are increasing. Homeowners who plan to live in their homes for a long time should consider using renewable energy and batteries to reduce energy consumption. Renewable energy sector professionals can profit from this new marketing opportunity.

UK hydrogen sector ready to deliver but policy certainty is key to unlocking jobs and global competitiveness

A major new industry report launched in Parliament January 27 has found that the UK hydrogen industry is ready to invest, create jobs and scale deployment, but that weak demand signals and delays to policy delivery are holding back progress.

Sungrow Presents DC-Coupled Solution to Redefine PV-ESS System Value in Europe

As the energy transition accelerates, PV-plus-storage is increasingly adopted in European large-scale solar plants. According to BloombergNEF, cumulative PV-plus-storage capacity in Europe is expected to exceed 15 GWh by 2029. However, high costs, efficiency limitations, and solar curtailment continue to constrain the economic potential of these systems.

MGM Resorts Powers Up to 100% of Daytime Las Vegas Strip Electricity with Solar

MGM Resorts International has reached a significant milestone in its renewable energy strategy, now powering up to 100% of its daytime electricity needs on the Las Vegas Strip with solar energy. The achievement was made possible after the Company began receiving 115 MW of solar energy and 400 megawatt-hours of battery storage in December of 2025 from the recently completed Escape Solar and Storage Project, located in Lincoln County, Nevada. 

Looking at Progress in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

In recent years, there have been developments to overcome the challenges in energy production associated with the performance of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). This segment discusses progress in core component materials, namely electrolytes, membranes, electrodes, and bipolar plates. It also discusses progress in stack design and flow field designs for the optimization of VRFB operations, in system modeling to improve the energy efficiency of the VRFB, and cost-effective approaches in the applications of VRFBs.

Econergy reaches financial close on Dalmarnock BESS

European independent power producer Econergy Renewable Energy has announced it has reached financial close on the 40 MW/120 MWh Dalmarnock battery energy storage system (BESS) in Scotland, with £21 million of project finance from Santander UK and a long-term optimisation agreement with EDF.

Offshore Wind Pact Giant Leap Towards Powering Europe With Renewable Electricity

The Joint Offshore Wind Investment Pact for the North Seas is a giant leap towards powering Europe with renewable, reliable, and cost-competitive electricity. With more investment predictability, a de-risked investment framework, and a coordinated build-out plan of up to 15 GW per year in Europe, Ørsted and the offshore wind industry is committed to bringing down the cost of electricity from offshore wind by 30% by 2040.

Why Hydropower Facilities Are Increasingly Targeted by Hackers

Hydroelectric power capacity is expanding due to its high reliability and domestic availability. However, this growth has been accompanied by an increase in attacks. Both hydropower and related water infrastructure have long been targets of physical conflicts and are now under threat from cyber warfare. Hostile actors exploit vulnerabilities to disrupt operations, steal data and spread fear. Here is why these facilities are such attractive targets and how they can strengthen their security.
