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

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 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.

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utility deals hit a record $205 billion in the first half of 2026

Power and utilities M&A hit a record $205 billion across 92 deals in the first half of 2026, Deloitte reports. NextEra Energy's $124 billion Dominion Energy merger led the way. PwC says buyers are paying for gas, grid and dispatchable assets that add capacity faster than new builds. Who pays for grid upgrades is now the open question for data centers and large loads.

  • 01Two megadeals, NextEra Energy's $124 billion merger with Dominion Energy and the $48 billion AES take-private, drove Deloitte's record $205 billion first-half total, according to Deloitte, so the headline figure says more about the largest players than about the 92-deal field as a whole.
  • 02PwC says buyers now favor assets with contracted offtake or direct exposure to large-load customers, alongside those with clear cost recovery, which makes contracted cash flows and who pays for grid upgrades questions a data center or plant operator should raise at its next utility meeting.
  • 03Where a jurisdiction assigns large-load costs (directly to data centers, through general rates, or through new contractual models) is becoming a valuation input for acquirers, so the tariff dockets being drafted now will shape both the power bill and who owns the utility.
