The UK’s first deep geothermal power plant has begun generating electricity at United Downs near Redruth in Cornwall, marking a milestone in the country’s renewable energy infrastructure while introducing a new domestic source of lithium for battery production. Developed...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a funding opportunity totaling $171.5 million to accelerate next-generation geothermal field-scale tests for electricity generation and exploration drilling, aimed at characterizing and confirming high-potential geothermal resources. The initiative, launched under a...

The integration of thermal energy storage into power system planning is providing a critical buffer for the electrical grid, enabling long-duration storage and enhancing the overall resilience and reliability of modern infrastructure.

The transition toward a multi-energy future necessitates a complete redesign of our power systems, moving away from isolated energy silos and toward an integrated, cross-sector architecture that maximizes efficiency and reliability.

The shift toward low-temperature thermal networks is fundamentally transforming the modern power grid, enabling a resilient, decentralized infrastructure that integrates diverse heat sources and enhances overall system efficiency.

The evolution of the global energy mix necessitates a nuanced approach to managing existing thermal generation. By exploring pathways such as hydrogen blending, advanced fuel switching, and the integration of carbon capture, stakeholders can extend the utility of legacy assets while aligning with stringent decarbonisation targets and maintaining grid reliability.

Modular energy systems are redefining industrial infrastructure by providing the agility needed to scale generation, integrate hybrid power sources, and maintain resilient operations.
