As the world grapples with the dual challenges of climate change and energy security, nuclear energy emerges as a pivotal solution, sparking a global dialogue on its accelerated adoption and the development of innovative, safe infrastructure. Amidst increasing environmental concerns and the quest for energy independence, countries and companies worldwide are making strategic commitments to nuclear power, recognizing its potential to power industrialization, achieve climate goals, and provide a reliable alternative to the fluctuating success of renewable energy sources. With over 20 countries and 120 companies aiming to triple nuclear power generation by 2050, the industry stands at the cusp of a transformative era, propelled by advancements in reactor technology, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and microreactors, and a renewed focus on safety and efficiency.

With over 20 countries and 120 companies aiming to triple nuclear power generation by 2050, the industry stands at the cusp of a transformative era.

What does this mean for the future of global energy, and how is the industry preparing safe infrastructure for this ambitious leap in nuclear power? "Experts Talk," hosted by Daniel J. Litwin, the Voice of B2B, welcomes Nick Loris, the Vice President of Public Policy at C3 Solutions; the Honorable Bud Albright, a 30+ Year U.S. DOJ & Energy Industry Official; Jonathan Cobb, the Senior Climate Programme Lead at the World Nuclear Association; and Patrick White, Research Director at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. This distinguished panel will delve into the readiness of the nuclear sector for significant expansion, the evolution of nuclear safety, and the role of nuclear power on the international stage.

Several critical topics explored include the following:

  • The readiness and capacity of current nuclear energy infrastructure to support accelerated adoption
  • The impact of innovative reactor technologies on the future of nuclear power
  • Strategies for overcoming obstacles to nuclear energy's global adoption and ensuring its integration into the renewable energy mix

Nick Loris brings knowledge from C3 Solutions, focusing on policy solutions that balance environmental goals with economic growth. Honorable Bud Albright's extensive experience in the U.S. Department of Justice and the energy sector provides a unique perspective on regulatory and policy challenges. Dr. Jonathan Cobb offers insights from the World Nuclear Association on nuclear energy's role in climate change mitigation. Dr. Patrick White, from the Nuclear Innovation Alliance, shares expertise on advancing nuclear innovation and technology to meet future energy needs.

UK storage support scheme could cut battery project returns by up to 2.7 points

UK storage support scheme could cut battery project returns by up to 2.7 points

LCP Delta estimates the UK long-duration storage cap-and-floor could cut battery project returns by 2.7 percentage points against a no-new-storage baseline, Energy-Storage.news reported. Against its central scenario, the hit is only 0.5 points. Italy's MACSE round two on 24 November and Germany's 23GWh residential VPP rules show the same pattern: policy design sets storage returns.

  • 01The question for any UK battery revenue case is now which baseline it assumed: LCP Delta's estimated hit ranges from 0.5 to 2.7 IRR points depending on whether significant long-duration storage was already modelled.
  • 02Germany's new virtual power plant rules turn its residential battery base into what Energy-Storage.news describes as a 23GWh grid asset, and the outlet says the distinction between residential and grid-scale storage is now less obvious.

DNV expects half of new solar plants to include batteries by the mid-2030s

DNV expects half of new solar plants to include batteries by the mid-2030s

DNV forecasts about half of new solar installations will include battery storage by the mid-2030s, up from roughly 6.6% today. Its GreenPowerMonitor unit is expanding hybrid energy management software to match. For solar operators, controls and cybersecurity now sit on the critical path.

  • 01DNV puts today's solar-plus-storage attach rate at roughly 6.6%; its forecast of about half by the mid-2030s puts the shift inside the operating life of plants being commissioned now.
  • 02An energy management system spec can now be tested against concrete numbers: 400-plus supported protocols and IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 certification are reference points DNV’s GPM puts on the table, with DNV also pointing to NIS2 as an example of the cybersecurity requirements the industry faces.
  • 03Masdar's 5.2GW solar and 19GWh battery plant in the UAE, due to complete in 2027, is built to deliver 1GW of clean energy to the grid round the clock, according to Energy Storage News.

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.
