As 2026 gets underway, the U.S. solar and battery energy storage (BESS) market is entering a defining phase. After years of accelerated growth driven by policy incentives, corporate demand, and grid constraints, the industry is now shifting toward scale, optimization, and long-term resilience. For developers, energy buyers, and infrastructure investors, understanding what lies ahead is […]

Utility-scale solar is no longer just adding megawatts to the grid, it is redefining how the United States generates, prices, and secures electricity for decades to come.  The U.S. energy system is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in its history. Electricity demand is accelerating at a pace not seen in decades, driven by electrification,

Over the past decade, the energy transition has moved from a long-term vision to a present-day economic reality. Solar power, once a niche segment supported largely by incentives, has become one of the most cost-competitive and scalable energy sources in the United States. In 2025, its value proposition is no longer driven only by sustainability

Over the past few years, corporate renewable energy procurement in the U.S. has entered a new phase of maturity. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), once considered innovative tools for sustainability leaders, are now mainstream instruments for managing energy costs, mitigating carbon exposure, and supporting long-term resilience.  But as the market evolves, so does the pricing landscape.

The U.S. renewable energy industry is in a constant fast-paced movement. After a decade dominated by record-breaking solar growth, the next great leap in clean energy isn’t about adding more panels; it’s about storing their power. Utility-scale battery storage is emerging as the cornerstone of the modern grid, transforming the way our country generate, distribute,

Uninterrupted Renewable Power Renewable energies have revolutionized electricity generation, but their intermittent nature introduces new challenges. Solar and wind depend on natural factors, causing fluctuations that affect grid stability and operational reliability. During periods of high production and low demand, renewable plants may be curtailed, wasting valuable energy. Moreover, oversupply can depress market prices, reducing

As demand surges, food manufacturers can secure reliable power and cut emissions with tailored renewable energy agreements. Food production facilities are among the most energy-intensive operations in the industrial landscape. Refrigeration, freezing, cooking, packaging, and 24/7 production cycles require a constant, high load of electricity. As demand continues to rise, many manufacturers face a dual

Meeting the challenge: How the U.S. data center boom is reshaping power demand and energy strategies. In the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, data centers have become the digital backbone of nearly every industry. But behind their rapid expansion lies a growing challenge: the surging demand for reliable and affordable energy.

How the nation’s accelerating data center boom is reshaping energy needs and the strategies to meet them.  Data centers are the silent engines of the U.S. digital economy, powering everything from streaming and e-commerce to AI, 5G, and the Internet of Things. As technology evolves at breakneck speed, the power requirements of these facilities are
