Repowered: new life for decom nuclear plants in the US

Like the mythical Phoenix, Palisades Nuclear Generating Station in the US state of Michigan is just days away from achieving an American civil nuclear power first: restarting after having entered decommissioning. It’s no fluke; less than two years behind it will be Pennsylvania’s 835 MWe Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 1, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center. It is anticipated that Duane Arnold and the Virgil Summer 3 and 4 nuclear stations will soon follow. New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple MEI reports.

UK government announces new £102mn funding for nuclear and hydrogen technologies

The UK government has further backed the future of nuclear power by investing £77mn to support nuclear fuel production and next generation advanced nuclear reactors in the UK. It has also unveiled a further £25mn of funding for innovative technologies that could generate hydrogen from biomass and waste and is seeking views on proposals to make domestic gas boilers hydrogen-ready from 2026. However, a Commons Committee warns that hydrogen is not a panacea to meeting net zero.

How to address the challenges of scaling storage worldwide

‘The defining challenge of the next phase of the energy transition is storage,’ said Malcolm Turnbull, a former Prime Minister of Australia and now President of the International Hydropower Association, at International Energy Week. Via a video link, Turnbull introduced a wide-ranging discussion on the technical, commercial and geopolitical challenges of scaling up a mix of storage technologies, with increasing cross-border co-operation globally. Brian Davis, Features Editor, New Energy World, reports.

European Commission proposes EU electricity market reform

The European Commission (EC) has proposed to reform the European Union’s (EU) electricity market design in order to accelerate a surge in renewables and the phase-out of gas, make consumer bills less dependent on volatile fossil fuel prices, better protect consumers from future price spikes and potential market manipulation, and make the EU’s industry clean and more competitive.

Brave New Energy World – one year on

Last year, the Energy Institute (EI) combined Energy World and Petroleum Review into a single digital, weekly publication with quarterly printed roundups. New Energy World aims to reflect the EI’s purpose of creating a better energy future and accelerating a just global energy transition to net zero. Senior Editor Charlie Bush reflects on some of the magazine’s key findings.

Why the IEA is boosting focus on Southeast Asia’s energy transition

The International Energy Agency (IEA) opened its first regional office outside Paris at the end of 2024. Its choice of Singapore for the new Regional Cooperation Centre reflects both the city-state’s status as a financial and energy hub and Southeast Asia’s rising strategic importance. Charlie Bush reports.

Singapore taps subsea interconnectors for electricity imports

The insular city-state of Singapore is tapping the huge potential offered by subsea electricity connectors to access abundant renewable energy resources in its region. This wealthy country of six million people extends over just 735 km² of land and has an average GDP per head of $90,600. The country needs to import electricity and wants to diversify its energy supply while supporting regional decarbonisation, writes Bernadette Lee.

How ASEAN will cooperate on energy

Amid a shifting global order and a loss of clear economic direction from traditional global powers, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is emerging as both an increasingly confident and influential force, more determined to reshape the global narrative and to assert its role as a stabilising anchor in international affairs. The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030 captures the region’s collective ambition to build an integrated, sustainable and secure energy future, one that balances growth with environmental stewardship, innovation with inclusivity, and resilience with opportunity, writes Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director Peter Godfrey FEI.

Mediterranean hydrogen pipeline: future power hub or white elephant?

A multi-billion project to build and repurpose a 3,300 km land and subsea pipeline carrying green hydrogen from Algeria via Tunisia to Italy, Austria and Germany continues, although many key factors depend on the outcome of ongoing feasibility studies, reports Assia Bekkar.
