Google, NVIDIA and Emerald AI launched a coalition that wants flexible AI data centers to unlock up to 100 GW of additional grid capacity through measurable demand response.

Fervo Energy’s first 33 MW Cape Station GeoBlock has reached commercial operation ahead of schedule, moving enhanced geothermal into contracted power sales after a 23-month build.

Federal financing has closed for the planned restart of Iowa’s 615 MW Duane Arnold nuclear plant, advancing a Google-backed source of firm power for growing AI and cloud demand.

FERC delayed PJM’s 6.8 GW reliability backstop and told the grid operator to better align new power costs with the data-center-heavy load growth driving the shortfall.

Tesla and Sunrun report a 580 MW California grid dispatch from more than 140,000 home batteries. Here is how virtual power plants coordinate stored energy.

Invinity’s 10 MWh flow battery at California’s Viejas microgrid has delivered over 1 GWh. Here’s what the milestone means for energy storage.

Amazon and Constellation’s 20-year Calvert Cliffs agreement backs a 190 MW nuclear uprate while keeping the plant’s power on the PJM regional grid.

Germany has taken a major step toward turning parked electric cars into working pieces of the power grid. New market-integration rules from the Bundesnetzagentur create a clearer path for batteries and bidirectional charging points to move electricity in both directions without losing the treatment available to eligible renewable power. Reuters reported that the October 1…

A YouTube-led look at how AI helped plasma physicist Matt Landreman discover explicit counterexamples to Grad’s 59-year-old fusion-physics conjecture.

A single Xos Hub mobile charging system has crossed a milestone that is easy to misread: it has delivered more than 1 gigawatt-hour of electricity in real commercial service. That does not mean the trailer stores 1 GWh at once. It means one mobile battery-and-charging system has cumulatively moved 1,020,143.6 kWh into vehicles across more…
