While discussions on solar energy usually focus on how to efficiently capture the sun’s rays and convert that to usable electricity, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi has his sights set on developing solar energy storage capability.

At the World Government Summit in Dubai, the Prime Minister expressed his dedication to technology as a driving force in human advancement. In his keynote speech, the Premier stated that India aims to generate 175 gigawatts of power from renewable sources by as early as 2022.

He also announced India’s creation of a “solar alliance” to allow less-developed countries the opportunity to benefit from solar power’s emergence.

The Prime Minister made a point of emphasizing the historic relationship between India and the Sun.

He praised the forward-looking vision of his country’s leaders, citing the creation of the post of Minister of the Future in the UAE, as well as the appointment of a Minister of Happiness and Quality of Life.

The Premier reinforced the idea that technology can, and should, change the future of governance.

Drax Power Station could host a £20 billion AI data centre under a new Brookfield and Radiant deal

Drax Power Station could host a £20 billion AI data centre under a new Brookfield and Radiant deal

Drax Group, Brookfield and Radiant are developing a data centre at Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire that could eventually exceed 1 GW of capacity, with total investment estimated at over £20 billion. The first 100 MW phase targets early 2028 operation, with subsequent phases envisioned through 2031, subject to planning, regulatory and network approvals.

  • 01First phase of 100 MW targeted for early 2028 commercial operations, drawing power from the national grid through existing infrastructure
  • 02Second phase of approximately 500 MW envisioned for 2028 to 2031 with behind-the-meter supply from Drax's own generators under a long-term power purchase agreement
  • 03Drax's 4 GW grid access and 2.6 GW dispatchable generation support a colocated data-centre model at the site

Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Projects that fit Siemens' standard configurations skip much of the on-site integration. Anything else needs custom engineering.

  • 01A microgrid's controller, protective relays and switchboard can now ship as one factory-tested lineup, which moves much of the integration and protection testing off the jobsite.
  • 02The speed in MIS comes from standardization, so what it does for any one project depends on whether that project fits Siemens' standard configurations. Unusual ratings, controls or protection schemes go to custom engineering.
  • 03"Vendor-agnostic" applies to the energy assets: solar, batteries and generators from other suppliers can connect. The control and protection layer is Siemens' SICAM and SIPROTEC.

Hardware takes 61.7% of the $98.5 billion grid upgrade market in 2026

Hardware takes 61.7% of the $98.5 billion grid upgrade market in 2026

Global grid modernization spending hits $98.5 billion in 2026, and 61.7% of it goes to hardware. Equipment supply now sets the pace. That could squeeze utilities and data center builders competing for the same high-voltage components.

  • 01When hardware holds 61.7% of the grid modernization market, factory capacity sets the pace for upgrades.
  • 02Distribution networks hold 55.6% of the market, and utilities in the Zpryme survey also ranked distribution automation, FLISR and hardening as top priorities, so feeder-level equipment is where budgets and forecasts agree.
  • 03Smart grid and grid modernization forecasts range from 5.7% to 15.6% annual growth depending on what they count, so the first question for any vendor-cited number is which definition sits under it.
