Google and the Salt River Project (SRP) have announced what they call a "first-of-its-kind" collaborative research project to more meaningfully quantify the performance of nascent non-lithium-ion long duration energy storage (LDES) technology. Per the terms of the collaboration agreement, Google will partially cover the costs of LDES pilot projects using SRP infrastructure. Google will also gather and interpret the data collected from pilot projects performed using SRP grid assets.

At the 2025 RE+ Events energy trade show in Las Vegas, Cannon Valley Graziers showcased one of the simplest yet fastest-growing solar O&M solutions: sheep grazing. Once a niche practice, solar grazing now maintains vegetation on more than 130,000 acres of U.S. solar sites, offering lower costs, ecological benefits, and reliable performance compared to mowing or herbicides.

Factor This content director Paul Gerke is joined by Kat Burnham, senior principal at Advanced Energy United (AEU), in this article and video interview, to explain why the Trump administration's choice to revoke permissions for nearly finished New England offshore installation Revolution Wind is a net loss for the industry and for American energy independence. The cancelation of $679 million in federal funding for offshore wind, and the revocation of permits, comes at the same time that energy prices are continuing to rise, with AEU tracking an increase of 67% in the New England region from 2024 to 2025.

The past decade has been a period of major change for the energy industry. Power needs have not only grown but changed entirely as technological innovations reshape the terrain of the industry. The coming years will demand adaptable, dynamic, modern distribution infrastructure to match the fluidity and changing nature of power generation. AI in particular poses a unique challenge for the industry, as the energy demands of building AI at scale are immense, and AI use patterns do not follow the conventional day-night scheme of more classic consumer energy needs. Industry insiders are looking for scalable, adaptive energy control systems to meet the new moment.

08/27/2025

Energy industry regulators at the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) have voted unanimously to repeal a rule that required at least 15% of utility energy supplies to come from renewable sources by this year. While the rule's repeal comes at a time when federal and state governments are backing away from renewable energy, ACC chair Kevin Thompson rebuked claims that the repeal is politically motivated: "If renewables are truly the most affordable and reliable option, as we are frequently reminded by advocates, the generational technology should be able to prevail on its own without the need for mandates that have added millions of dollars in extra costs for ratepayers each year."
