Solar PV accounted for 45% of all power generation investment in 2024, and is forecast to maintain this throughout the next decade. Inflation drove up project costs in 2023, but lower module and PV inverter costs meant costs started to decline in 2023 and continued to decline in 2024–a rarity for the power industry.Residential, commercial, and indu...

Third-generation photovoltaics represent a fundamental shift in how solar energy is harvested, integrated, and scaled—moving beyond conventional silicon toward tunable, lightweight, and application-specific photovoltaic materials. By advancing perovskite, organic, tandem, and quantum-dot architectures, the industry is unlocking new capabilities in ...

The Future of the United States explores the transformative trends shaping national competitiveness, economic resilience, and technological leadership through 2035. US energy policy is reinforcing fossil fuel expansion while navigating the growth of renewables, addressing increasing electricity demand from AI-intensive industries, and modernizing t...

The Asia-Pacific switchgear (low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage) market is predicted to have a steady growth rate of 2.9% from 2018 to 2025, driven by increasing power demand and grid connectivity across the region. Demand for switchgears also is driven by retrofits of aging equipment, especially in the medium- and high-voltage categorie...

Continued concerns over global warming and increasing CO2 levels in our atmosphere undoubtedly transform how we generate, consume, and distribute energy. Governments worldwide are grappling for solutions to mitigate climate change and pave a pathway towards decarbonization. Our transition towards a sustainable future depends on developing alternati...

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...

Diesel generator sets (gensets) are widely utilized to provide reliable mobile, stationary, or temporary on-site power, in an array of applications ranging from back-up power generation in mission-critical applications, such as hospitals and data centres, to peak-load generation in electrical grids. The European diesel genset market is experiencing...

Transition to a carbon-neutral energy economy requires a more environmentally-friendly energy carrier. Hydrogen and its multiple end-use applications play a huge role to contribute to decarbonization of major sectors of the economy. Power-to-X (P2X) is an interconnections concept between the different energy carriers, which promotes the integration...

The global battery energy storage industry is predicted to have double-digit growth, and this will be driven by both front of the meter and behind the meter applications. Falling battery costs, increased grid modernization initiatives, rapid growth in variable renewable energy generation, participation of battery storage in various wholesale electr...
