DNV expects half of new solar plants to include batteries by the mid-2030s

DNV forecasts about half of new solar installations will include battery storage by the mid-2030s, up from roughly 6.6% today. Its GreenPowerMonitor unit is expanding hybrid energy management software to match. For solar operators, controls and cybersecurity now sit on the critical path.

01DNV puts today's solar-plus-storage attach rate at roughly 6.6%; its forecast of about half by the mid-2030s puts the shift inside the operating life of plants being commissioned now.
02An energy management system spec can now be tested against concrete numbers: 400-plus supported protocols, IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 certification, and NIS2 readiness are the reference points DNV's GPM has put on the table for competing vendors to match.
03Masdar's 5.2GW solar and 19GWh battery plant in the UAE, due to complete in 2027, is built to deliver 1GW of clean energy to the grid round the clock, according to Energy Storage News.

Bestway Cement now gets over a quarter of its plant power from solar

Bestway Cement's Chakwal plant in Pakistan now gets over a quarter of its electricity from 26 MW of solar and is adding 6.34 MW by year end, the Financial Times reports. Its general manager calls solar the only way to compete. Global solar capacity reached almost 1.2 TW at end-2025, per the Energy Institute. The case shows what solar can cover at one cement plant.

01A cement plant producing over 3 million tonnes a year is covering more than a quarter of its electricity with 26 MW of its own solar, a rare public benchmark for self-generation in heavy industry.
02Bestway's general manager frames solar as a competitive necessity because rivals have already gone in this direction, which shifts the question for energy-intensive plants from whether solar pays back to what a competitor's power bill looks like.
03Global solar capacity of almost 1.2 TW is roughly three times the nuclear fleet on paper, but sunlight availability means output is a fraction of nameplate, so capacity numbers overstate delivered energy.

Shell is the first Gulf operator cleared to self-approve offshore drone flights

Shell has flown a drone-in-a-box system from its Mars floating production unit in the US Gulf, the Journal of Petroleum Technology reported on September 11, 2026. No other Gulf operator holds FAA approval to self-approve offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. Whether other operators can follow the same route is the open question.

01A US Gulf operator now holds FAA approval to self-approve offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone flights, which gives peers a concrete regulatory reference point instead of a hypothetical.
02September's JPT coverage pairs field autonomy with caution: panelists at the SPE Subsea Well Intervention Symposium pressed engineers to judge for themselves where AI is useful and where risk remains.
03The signal to watch is who becomes the second Gulf operator with the same approval, and whether the pathway Shell used is one others can follow.
