Why Prime Movers’ Reliability Is Critical to Power Uptime
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming one of the most significant drivers of global electricity demand. By 2030, data centre consumption is expected to more than double, from 415 TWh to 945 TWh, driven by AI-optimised servers that use up to 10 times the energy of traditional computing. In the U.S., data centres may account […] The post Why Prime Movers’ Reliability Is Critical to […]
Invenergy Inks Supply Deal for Three New Natural Gas-Fired Power Plants in Arizona

Utah ‘Gigasite’ Data Center Contemplates Solar-Storage Baseload Addition
Zeo Energy Corp., a Florida-based residential solar installer that acquired struggling concentrated solar thermal developer Heliogen Inc. six months ago, has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Creekstone Energy to study the development of 280 MW of generation for a multi-gigawatt data center campus under construction in Millard County, Utah. Under the MOU, […] The post Utah ‘Gigasite’ Data Center Contemplates Solar-Storage Baseload […]
INL Enlists NVIDIA on ‘PROMETHEUS’ AI Effort to Halve Nuclear Deployment Timelines Under DOE Genesis Mission
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has teamed up with artificial intelligence (AI) computing giant NVIDIA to advance “PROMETHEUS,” INL’s first-of-its-kind demonstration of an autonomous nuclear reactor driven by AI, to execute a key challenge under the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Genesis Mission. The move adds momentum to DOE’s push to apply AI across the full reactor […] The post INL Enlists NVIDIA on ‘PROMETHEUS’ AI Effort […]
A New Space Race—The U.S. Looks to Lunar Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is emerging as a key, enabling technology for sustained human presence on the moon. With multiple countries and companies announcing ambitious lunar programs—from space research to mineral development to hotels—there is increasing global competition to establish long-term power supply and other infrastructure on the lunar surface.

Water Strategy Is Power Strategy in the New Economy
New research reveals artificial intelligence (AI)-driven water demand is set to surge nearly 130% over the next 25 years. Power generation consumes about half of that, turning water into a potential constraint on future capacity—and a catalyst for achieving a lasting transition to greater water security. Power producers are facing a new challenge: deliver more […] The post Water Strategy Is Power Strategy in the […]
