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.

Why GridPoint thinks 13,000 chain-store sites are ready for batteries

Why GridPoint thinks 13,000 chain-store sites are ready for batteries

GridPoint is adding on-site battery storage, with a target of 2GW of distributed storage capacity across its existing footprint. Roughly 13,000 of its sites sit in markets where it says batteries make strong economic sense today: California, PJM and parts of the Northeast. The batteries come inside the existing subscription with no upfront capital. Bill savings decide the case; grid payments are upside.

  • 01Part of a store battery's value comes from a few grid-wide peak hours a year, the ones that set a site's capacity and transmission charges for the following year.
  • 02A no-capital battery offer should pencil out on demand-charge and peak-rate savings alone; capacity payments, including PJM's 2028/2029 price at its $325 per megawatt-day cap, are upside that won't stay at record levels.
  • 03Grid-scale battery owners report first-year availability improving from 88–90% to 95–98%. Use this as a lens when querying subscription providers about assumed year-one performance.

How nuclear safety equipment proves it can survive a reactor accident

How nuclear safety equipment proves it can survive a reactor accident

Element Materials Technology engineers Kyle McVay and Derica Taylor describe how nuclear safety equipment is qualified: thermal aging by the Arrhenius equation, radiation aging, seismic simulation to IEEE 344 and a loss-of-coolant test. The report becomes a design basis document under 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, and ASME QME-1-2025 and NRC Part 53 now reach small modular reactors.

  • 01Qualification runs in a fixed order, aging and irradiation before seismic shaking and the loss-of-coolant test, with a functional check after every stage.
  • 02The IEEE standards tell a lab how to qualify equipment but set no stress levels; the plant's own specification decides how severe the test is.
  • 03ASME QME-1-2025, published in November 2025, now names small modular and advanced reactors, and the NRC's Part 53 licensing rule was published as final in March 2026.

Energy services dipped 487 jobs to 627,538 in October as US hiring beat forecasts

Energy services dipped 487 jobs to 627,538 in October as US hiring beat forecasts

Energy services employment was 627,538 jobs in October 2026, down 487 from September, while the US economy added 165,000 jobs. Companies appear to be keeping skilled crews through uncertain demand. Cost pressure shows up in benefits: private-sector health benefit costs rose 6.4% year over year in the third quarter, outpacing wage growth.

  • 01A flat headcount still comes with a rising bill: private-sector health benefit costs rose 6.4% year over year in the third quarter while wages and salaries rose 3.1%, meaning compensation costs can rise faster than pay alone suggests.
  • 02The figure to watch is the next monthly count and any revisions to October: a flat line that holds suggests companies are keeping their workers, while a slide would point to activity catching up with headcount.
