Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused significant disruption to global energy markets. Europe has felt the biggest impact as a significant buyer of oil, and particularly gas, from Russia. In fact, Russia accounted for 35.5% of Europe’s gas supply in 2021. As the volume of gas coming from Russia has fallen, Europe has been scrambling to secure sup...

Universal access to electricity has been central to the African development story, with power being critical to the continent's economic growth. As more than 600 million people (or 44% of the population) lack access to electricity, Africa is racing to add capacity to electrify rural communities and secure baseload supply in urban and industrial zon...

The 2020s have been dubbed the decade of energy storage, and 2024 confirmed this to be true. Battery energy storage CAPEX surged to $65.6 billion, up from $48.9 billion in 2023. This was achieved despite a reduction in battery pack costs in 2024 that meant project costs declined by around 10% across all geographies. The ongoing clean energy transit...

Frost & Sullivan’s Top 10 Growth Opportunities for the Power & Energy Industry summarizes the major trends that will gain momentum in 2023. The mounting pressure to achieve global decarbonization and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will continue to disrupt the power and energy sector. Investment in renewable energy will increase, with annual instal...

Power-efficient electronic devices capable of high-speed communication have become essential in today’s electronics-dominated world. Low-power integrated circuits (IC) and radio frequency (RF) technologies have evolved rapidly following the increase in portable electronics and internet of things (IoT) usage. Circuit design advancements, such as sub...

Portable diesel and gas generators has been used since the early 1900s to provide electricity for electrical appliances that are disconnected from the electricity grid. However, diesel and gas generators pose environmental, safety and health issues. As the world shifts towards low-carbon solutions, alternatives are being sought for portable diesel ...

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have become the fastest-growing clean energy technology driven by the growth of intermittent renewables and the need for grid flexibility. Homeowners are turning to batteries to maximize solar energy consumption, manage energy demand more efficiently, control costs, and reduce carbon footprint. Residential batt...

After a challenging 2020, 2021 was a defining year for the energy industry in many ways. The world witnessed rising concerns about climate change and the need for sustainable solutions and processes. Following the latest COP summit, more than 100 countries pledged their commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. In Asia-Pacific, Japan, Australia, an...
