WSP's VP on next-gen battery innovations and grid resilience

Markets continue choosing renewables because, in many scenarios, they simply offer the lowest cost for the energy they can reliably deliver. While renewables’ intermittency does impose challenges, improved forecasting, storage, flexible planning, and diversified resource portfolios mitigate those. See why grid planners & experts say markets keep choosing renewables: https://lnkd.in/dg6ZcvET

Renewables Now Live: US utility Georgia Power Company, a subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE:SO), is seeking to procure 500 MW of energy storage system (ESS) capacity through its 2025 competitive request for proposal (RfP) process. #renewableenergy #energystorage

Europe's renewables-driven power market dislocation is challenging the traditional revenue model for wind and solar farms, while creating an opening for value-add investors to build next-generation power plants. Fiona Thomas Saura, director of investments at Frontier Renewables, makes the case for how investors can embrace Renewables 2.0 strategies to turn market volatility into long-term value.

⚡ Industry insight on why private investors are attracted to U.S. power transmission projects... “From an investor standpoint, with the right structure in place, it can be a very attractive asset because these are long natured assets that are necessary and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns,” Don Dimitrievich, Senior Managing Director & Portfolio Manager, Energy Infrastructure Credit at investment management group Nuveen, told Reuters Events. Grid investments have lagged behind power plant development for some time and will need to accelerate to accommodate growing load from data centers and other large users alongside growing renewable energy capacity. The grid clearly "requires significant upgrades for the amount of power demand growth we expect to see here in the next decade,” Dimitrievich said. “Continued capital investment in grid capacity, and the ability to transport those electrons to load centers and tie that with the generation capabilities, is critical,” he said.

In an interview with Axios, Energy Secretary Chris Wright made it clear: solar energy remains a key player in America’s evolving energy strategy. Despite the administration’s freeze on offshore wind projects, Wright affirmed that solar will continue to grow, citing its superior energy density, lower cost, and faster deployment. In a landscape where permitting reform and infrastructure acceleration are top priorities, solar continues to stands out as a pragmatic and scalable solution. As the energy sector navigates political shifts and growing electricity demand, it's encouraging to see solar recognized for its resilience and impact on American energy security.

SunPower Corporation has completed its acquisition of Sunder Energy, creating the fifth-largest US residential solar sales company by installed capacity. The deal doubles SunPower’s sales team to 1,734 and integrates Sunder’s software and methods. With expected low-overhead revenue, SunPower projects record operating income in Q4 2025. A leadership group will oversee the integration within one quarter, supported by 310 deliverables. #SunPower #SunderEnergy #ResidentialSolar #SolarEnergy #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SolarMarket #EnergyTransition https://lnkd.in/dhg4r5vT
