According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), developers plan to add 64 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale capacity in 2025, surpassing the previous record of 58 GW set in 2002. At the heart of this expansion is solar power, supported by rapidly growing battery. . The United States is set to achieve its largest annual increase in electricity generation capacity in more than two decades. power sector has shifted drastically. Power is no longer just one chapter of the energy transition; it has become a strategic constraint on nationwide economic growth. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data center loads are now arriving fast. .

Continued growth in solar and storage deployment in Massachusetts can save ratepayers $313 million per year through 2030, found a study by Synapse Energy Economics and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). June 25, 2025 — According to the new U. Energy Storage Monitor developed by Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP), the American energy storage market experienced record growth in Q1 2025—amidst current policy uncertainty. energy storage. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. Despite policy changes and uncertainty in the world's two largest markets, the US and China, the sector continues to grow as developers push forward with larger and larger utility-scale projects.

Now São Tomé's first solar microgrid in Neves is testing a 200kW flywheel system that's already reduced diesel consumption by 40% during cloud cover events. Initial costs can make government officials sweat more than a midday market vendor. . Global OTEC's flagship project is the “Dominque,” a floating 1. 5-MW OTEC platform set to be installed in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2025 (Figure 1). The company says the platform “will be the first commercial-scale OTEC system. ” That's significant because OTEC is a technology that was proposed as far. . Enter flywheel technology – the unsung hero of energy storage that could make blackouts as rare as a snowstorm in the Gulf of Guinea. PV ModuleTech USA, on 17-18 June 2025, will be our fourth PV ModulelTech conference ded cated to the U. Bids have been. . In recent years, there have been several initiatives aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy in São Tomé and Príncipe. For instance, the government has partnered with international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the European. .

The auction aims to boost Brazil's grid reliability by integrating energy storage for wind and solar power. The auction, to take place in June 2025, will include 300MW energy capacity. . Changes to Brazil's first capacity reserve auction of 2025 could undermine the expansion of the procurement regime to include battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the second exercise of the year, according to Markus Vlasits, chairman of Brazil's energy storage trade body. Initially postponed from June to the second half of 2025, and with a date not yet set, it is looking increasingly likely that it will be carried out in 2026. The announcement marks the first time Brazil. . While Brazil is making progress in customer-side, “behind-the-meter” and off-grid battery solutions – with more than 700 MWh – it still lacks guidelines for a planned gigawatt-scale national auction. While 2025 growth is projected to be modest (19.
