Crude oil prices were set to end the week lower than they started it as Israel and Iran stopped bombing each other, alleviating fears of a supply disruption in the Middle East. At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $68 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $65.55 per barrel. That’s down from over $77 for Brent crude and $73 per barrel for WTI at the end of last week. Still, both benchmarks inched higher on Thursday this week, after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a draw in both crude oil and fuel inventories,…

Previously, we reported that the United States is witnessing a power storage boom, with a 15-fold increase in utility-scale battery storage capacity since 2020 to nearly 30,000 megawatts (30 GW). Nineteen states have installed at least 100 MW of utility-scale battery storage, driven largely by falling battery costs. However, this surge in battery capacity pales in comparison to China’s hydropower growth. According to the International Hydropower Association, China accounted for nearly 60% of the 24.6 GW in new global hydropower capacity commissioned…

The ongoing transition from baseload power generation to weather-dependent sources of electricity has proven quite challenging due to this dependence. Now, a team of scientists says the challenges are not insurmountable. We just need to build a globally interconnected system of wind and solar. It sounds like a huge undertaking fraught with its own challenges, and indeed it is. For the time being, then, the idea is only theoretical, with the scientists claiming it would result in energy abundance for every part of the world, thanks to the planet’s…

The recent commissioning of Brazil’s largest gas-fired thermal plant is set to raise the country’s annual gas consumption for power generation by at least 6 million cubic meters per day (MMcmd) from July to November – representing a 23% year-on-year rise. Gas Natural Acu’s (GNA) 1.7-gigawatt (GW) GNA II power plant began commercial operations on 31 May, accounting for approximately 8% of the country's total gas-fired installed capacity. As a result, GNA raised its operational thermal portfolio to 3 GW, consolidating itself…

In a move with significant implications for transcontinental energy trade, the UK government has formally withdrawn support for the $34.4-billion Morocco-UK Power Project, a mega-renewables plan that would have delivered solar and wind electricity via a 3,800 km undersea cable from the Sahara Desert to Devon, Reuters reports.  The project, led by British firm Xlinks and backed by TAQA, Octopus Energy, and TotalEnergies, aimed to supply 8% of the UK’s electricity needs, enough for over 7 million homes, with zero-carbon power. But Energy…
