The energy transition’s cyber paradox

The energy sector knows how to price delays caused by planning, grid connections and supply chains. It is less used to treating cybersecurity as a factor in project delivery. As power systems become more digital and decentralised, that distinction is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.

What do dark factories mean for the energy transition?

Fully automated factories promise lower operating costs and greater manufacturing resilience. Their real significance for the energy transition may not be the energy they save, but the economics they could change.

Latin America’s clean power success creates a harder problem

Latin America and the Caribbean already operate one of the world’s cleanest electricity systems. A new data outlook implies the next phase of growth will depend less on adding renewable capacity than on solving the harder challenge of moving, storing and monetising it.

Renewable investment enters a new phase as grids become the limiting factor
