This study examines the global small modular reactor (SMR) market from 2025 to 2040, forecasting robust growth driven by decarbonization demands, industrial electrification, high growth in electricity demand for data centers, and energy security needs. The next five years will see a small number of reactors coming online, but the mid-2030s will see...

The meter data management (MDM) market is emerging as a critical component of modern utility operations, driven by the rapid deployment of smart meters, increasing grid digitalization, and the growing need for accurate, real-time energy data. MDM solutions enable utilities to collect, validate, store, analyze, and manage vast volumes of meter data ...

AI-driven demand, rising power density, and constrained grid access are exposing the limits of traditional critical power strategies. Peak-based design, component-level reliability, and reactive service models are no longer sufficient in an environment defined by volatility, complexity, and zero tolerance for downtime.Growth is increasingly determi...

The US battery energy storage sector has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the energy transition, playing an increasingly critical role in supporting grid reliability, renewable energy integration, and electricity market flexibility. As utilities and independent power producers continue to invest in renewable projects, battery energ...

Utilities are entering a phase of selective, use-case-driven investment in meter data management (MDM), where funding is tied to measurable operational and commercial outcomes rather than platform modernization alone. The most consistent priorities in which utilities are willing to invest include interval and complex billing/settlement, outage data...

The need for grid flexibility, energy security, and reliable electricity supply is accelerating the development of mechanical energy storage technologies. Beyond supporting the integration of variable renewable energy, the technologies address the need for long-duration energy storage, peak load management, grid stabilization, and power system resi...

Strong renewable energy growth, aging grids, industrial electrification, increasing regional interconnections, and power loads from data centers have collectively driven growth in power transformers. More than 30% of large power transformers have been in operation for more than 30 years, creating high replacement demand. A lack of available manufac...

The accelerating transition to net-zero emissions and demand for high-efficiency renewable energy are driving the need for photovoltaic technologies that surpass the performance limits of conventional crystalline silicon solar cells. As single-junction crystalline silicon solar cells approach their practical efficiency limits, perovskite-silicon ta...

The alternative fuels sector is entering a critical phase where execution, not ambition, determines leadership. Success hinges first on overcoming legacy cultural constraints, enabling faster decision-making, experimentation, and partnership-led innovation. At the same time, firms must standardize regulatory intelligence to navigate fragmented poli...
