Turning UK business’ rooftops into strategic energy assets

The roofs of commercial and industrial sector buildings remain underused as sites of new, decentralised solar power stations. But such systems could deliver serious business advantages to the building occupiers. Owen Power, CEO of renewable energy developer Greenvolt UK, makes the case for installing them.

How solar thermal storage can decarbonise industrial heat

While the growth of solar power for electricity generation has been spectacular, the use of solar-generated power to produce and store heat for industrial users is at a much earlier stage. But the technology and potential is there, writes James Macnaghten, CEO of the UK-based energy storage supplier Caldera.

Powering ASEAN’s next chapter: grids, growth and the AI future

Southeast Asia’s energy transition starts from a very different place than the one unfolding in Europe or North America. For the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, this is not a story of tweaking a mature system at the margins, but of building new power systems fast enough to keep up with factories, cities and digital infrastructure that are still coming online, write Dr Lim Eu Shawn, Chairman of the Energy Institute Malaysia community and Chief Business & Solutions Officer with Aerodyne, and Sarah Suherman AMEI, Assistant Manager, GTM & Business Intelligence, Aerodyne.

Why the energy transition increasingly depends on AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving up electricity demand through data centres and advanced computing. Yet speakers at All-Energy argued that AI may also be essential for managing the increasingly complex, decentralised energy systems needed to achieve net zero, writes Kristy Jooste, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute.

Making grids smarter: the case for innovative grid technologies

As the world electrifies, meeting rising electricity demand and connecting new wind and solar generation will require large-scale investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure. Building new infrastructure is essential, but it is not the only solution, as innovative grid technologies (IGTs) – both hardware and software-based – offer a complementary route, writes Elena Pravettoni, Head of Analysis, Energy Transitions Commission.

Modern grids will be the foundation for future growth in Europe

Europe stands at a defining moment in its economic and energy transition. Electrification is no longer simply an environmental ambition: it is rapidly building the foundation of economic competitiveness, industrial resilience, national security and long-term prosperity with grids becoming the bottleneck. As Europe seeks to strengthen energy security, stimulate sustainable growth and affordability, and reduce emissions, accelerating electrification and investing in modern grid infrastructure must become urgent priorities, writes Maxine Ghavi, Executive Vice President and Head of Europe at Hitachi Energy.
