News at Glance Photos show conventional pickup proportions: InsideEVs published images of Ford Fathom prototypes that appear traditional in shape and stance. Model reported at $30,000: Media coverage referenced the Fathom as a lower-priced Ford EV truck proposition, though Ford has not released official pricing. Design may favour production readiness: Observers suggest familiar architecture could […]

News at Glance 20 GWh added of solar-linked energy storage capacity in the United States, the report says. Growth driven by installations pairing batteries with solar to firm output and shift generation to peak hours. Grid flexibility and declining battery costs cited as key enablers for further deployment. Co-located Solar-Battery Projects Seen as Key to […]

News at Glance Residential batteries can be dispatched to capture wholesale price spikes by charging when prices are low and exporting at higher rates. AI-based controllers automate export timing to pursue arbitrage and respond to grid service signals without constant owner input. Aggregation platforms open market access so many small systems can be pooled to […]

News at Glance Government projects India will rank third globally in wind energy, according to a senior official. Policy measures and expanding project pipelines are highlighted as the main drivers for rapid growth. Repowering and offshore development are cited as key opportunities to scale capacity further. Policy Push and Project Pipeline Could Reorder Global Wind […]

News at Glance RMI highlights policy, grid and commercial barriers as central challenges to scaling EV charging across Nigeria. Coordinated planning for public and fleet charging is necessary to align siting decisions with electricity supply and distribution capacity. Private investment and targeted financing models are identified as critical to build networks and support local service […]

News at Glance Range Rover has introduced its first all-electric model as part of the brand’s shift toward battery power. Technical specifications and pricing have not been fully disclosed, with the maker signalling more details will follow ahead of commercial launch.

Falling equipment costs and new financing models are making projects more bankable for local and international investors. Integration challenges remain, with storage, grid upgrades and currency risk cited as primary barriers to faster scale-up. Falling module […]

News at Glance China’s solar capacity has overtaken coal to become the country’s largest installed power source, Reuters reported. Rapid additions and falling costs have driven the surge in solar deployment across Chinese provinces. Grid and market challenges remain, including integration, curtailment and the need for flexible resources. Solar-led buildout intensifies pressure on coal-fired generation […]

News at Glance Final regulatory hurdle cleared for what Industrial Info identifies as Europe’s largest solar project. Major permitting barrier removed, potentially allowing the development to move toward financing and construction stages. Significant scale implication: the project, once built, would be a landmark addition to Europe’s solar capacity and infrastructure. Permit Clearance Opens Way for […]

News at Glance Unsubsidized competitiveness: Falling capital and operating costs mean solar can now compete with conventional generation in many markets without subsidies. Financing and procurement shift: Cheaper project finance and growing corporate and utility power purchase agreements are expanding solar deployment. Storage integration accelerating: Declining battery costs are making solar-plus-storage projects more attractive for […]
