MarketScale is committed to covering the stories and trends that impact B2B industries. In this month in review, we take a look back at a few of the stories that impacted Transportation and Energy.

Vaya Space is on a Mission to Reduce Risk & Cost in Space Exploration

Sustainable in cost and production is at the heart of Vaya Space. By incorporating 2 million plastic bottles into the output of each satellite, the company helps rid the earth of otherwise harmful waste. Vaya Space is a genuinely purpose-driven company. More users will migrate to satellites as safety and reliability become enmeshed in regular practice.

Masks No Longer Required on U.S. Flights

The mask mandate for all flights originating in the United States, due to expire on May 3rd, came to a sudden and swift end on Monday, April 18th, after Florida Middle District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle deemed the order unlawful due to lack of mandate reasoning. The judge’s order essentially ends the requirement for all U.S. passengers and airline staff. While this order applies to the Federal mask mandate, masks could be required based on local ordinances and could differ traveling to and from various international locations. Say Yes to Travel’s Sarah Dandashy said the reaction from the airline industry was swift.

Utility-scale solar and batteries made up most new U.S. power plant builds in early 2026, and that shifts how operators should buy capacity

Utility-scale solar and batteries made up most new U.S. power plant builds in early 2026, and that shifts how operators should buy capacity

In early 2026, utility-scale solar and battery installations dominated new power plant builds in the U.S., according to EIA's reports. This development suggests that power operators need to rethink their capacity procurement strategies, focusing more on deliverability than merely increasing megawatts.

  • 01Utility-scale solar and battery projects dominated new U.S. power plant constructions in early 2026.
  • 02Power operators are now focusing on deliverability rather than just increasing megawatts.
  • 03The shift to renewable sources requires new strategies in capacity procurement.

Extreme-heat grid performance is separating solar-and-storage regions from capacity-constrained markets as data center load accelerates

Extreme-heat grid performance is separating solar-and-storage regions from capacity-constrained markets as data center load accelerates

Extreme heat is impacting grid performance differently across regions, highlighting disparities between solar-and-storage areas and those with capacity constraints. As data center demand increases, regions like PJM, SPP, and ERCOT face challenges in managing heat-driven peaks and maintaining price stability. The increase in solar-plus-battery penetration is prompting urgent procurement discussions.

  • 01Regions with solar-and-storage infrastructure handle extreme heat better than capacity-constrained markets.
  • 02Data center demand amplifies grid performance challenges in regions like PJM, SPP, and ERCOT.
  • 03Solar-plus-battery penetration is a driving factor in current procurement strategies.

H1 2026 U.S. grid additions show solar plus batteries has become the default project, and gas is the long-lead counterweight

H1 2026 U.S. grid additions show solar plus batteries has become the default project, and gas is the long-lead counterweight

EIA data reveals that in the first half of 2026, 368 new utility-scale plants are planned in the U.S., with a significant focus on solar and battery projects. Solar projects lead with 207 installations, followed by 95 battery projects, while the focus for operators is gradually moving towards interconnection and duration issues.

  • 01In H1 2026, 207 solar and 95 battery utility-scale projects are planned in the U.S.
  • 02The industry is experiencing a shift in focus towards interconnection and project duration.
  • 03Solar and batteries have become the default choice for new energy projects.
