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.

Issaquah plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery for its emergency barn

Issaquah plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery for its emergency barn

Issaquah, Washington, plans a 60 kWh sodium-ion battery from Emerald Battery Labs for Pickering Barn, its resilience hub. The battery would work with the barn's existing solar array. UL certification, permitting and procurement have to happen first. The city has not released a power rating or a run-time target.

  • 01Sixty kilowatt-hours is a tank size: how long Pickering Barn can run as a warming or cooling center depends on the battery's power rating and which loads stay on, and neither has been published.
  • 02Issaquah's order of work, heat pumps in 2025, solar in 2026, battery next, gives other cities a phased model for turning a busy public building into an outage shelter.

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in cars hit 28% of global sales as Canada reaches 13%

Plug-in vehicles took 28% of global new car sales in August 2026. Canada reached 13% while the U.S. share kept falling. Part of the gap may be supply: according to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out North America for now.

  • 01Lower-cost European and Chinese EVs are harder to come by in North America. According to Reuters, Volkswagen chose South America as the first overseas market for its China-developed architecture and has ruled out Europe and North America for now.
  • 02Canada's plug-in share dropped from about 15% to about 9% in a single quarter when rebates ended in late 2024, a measure of how closely near-term demand tracked incentive timing.
  • 03Canada's 13% in August 2026, set against a falling U.S. share, is one signal to watch: if it holds, fleets in both countries may need separate planning assumptions.

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US gets 50% to 60% of smart-device owners into demand response

Octopus Energy US says 50% to 60% of its customers with a smart device take part in demand response. The historical utility benchmark is 5% to 10%. Uplight says the devices it manages can be called on dozens of times a year. The pitch to households is a lower bill.

  • 01Octopus says its 50% to 60% participation figure applies only to customers who already own a smart device, and the story does not say how it was measured.
  • 02The question to watch: does participation hold when calls go from fifteen a year to dozens? That decides whether household fleets can compete with batteries in a utility's resource plan.
