Hurricane Helene knocked out power in Burnsville, North Carolina. The fire department will install 40 kilowatt-hours of solar panels and double that amount of battery storage as part of a statewide microgrid project. The state Department of Environmental Quality invested $5 million in 26 microgrid projects last August, in partnership with a coalition of nonprofits.
Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology has potential to fuel America’s artificial-intelligence (AI) efforts. Short seller Hunterbrook wrote a report challenging Bloom Energy's statements about its supply chain and production capacity. The report focused on Bloom Energy’'s reliance on scandium, a rare earth element used in the company's fuel cells. Bloom Energy was quick to reject the accusations outright.
JM Financial has said India’s power demand may not have hit its peak for the season yet, despite daily peak demand touching a record 271GW during solar hours and 252GW during non-solar hours on 21 May. The brokerage said demand later eased to 248GW and 246GW on 4 June, but rose again to more than 260GW in June. It pointed to the possibility of another phase of intense demand in August-September 2026 as El Niño conditions strengthen.

FLEXELL SPACE, a developer of next-generation space solar solutions, has completed a $20 million Series A funding round. New investors made significant follow-on investments. The company has secured approximately $25 million in cumulative funding. It is conducting in-orbit demonstrations through South Korea’s Nuri launch vehicle program and the International Space Station. It was recently selected as the lead organization for a major national R&D project supported by the Korean government.
The tropical resort island of Hainan is solidifying its timeline to ban the sale of petrol-powered vehicles by 2030. The province, China’s largest free-trade zone, aims to spearhead the nation's decarbonisation efforts. The move will force carmakers to accelerate electrification to maintain their presence on the island.
New York's governor has announced a one-year moratorium on the construction of new large-scale data center facilities. There are concerns about their impact on energy use, the environment, and communities. New York is the first U.S. state to enact a statewide moratorium. Other states are considering similar measures.

The federal government is changing the funding for heat pumps. Low-income earners and homeowners with children have the opportunity to receive higher funding. Switching to a heat pump will pay for itself a little slower than before, but those who switch can save money. According to the government's current plan, funding will decrease in the long term.
In the first quarter of this year, heat pumps outpaced shipments of fossil-fuel furnaces by 32 percent. In 2024, 46 percent of new housing in the US will have a heat pump, compared to 47 percent with forced-air furnaces. A major driver of this electrification is new housing. Three quarters of new US apartments are heated electrically.
