As the world shifts toward more renewable energy and electrical grids struggle to stay online during weather events, energy storage will prove more crucial. Storing energy when things are going well for times when the grid is facing an outage will help those with the capacity stay online.

Here to give insights is Michael S Davies, CFA, CMVP, Founder, Green Econometrics, which delivers consulting, research, the mapping of performance metrics that align to business objectives, analytics dashboards; and the kind of ‘disruptive abundance’ that is created when analytics are applied to business data, and the enterprise shifts its focus to quantifiable sustainability and digital performance metrics.

Davies discussed electric vehicles, electric utility grids, industrial manufacturing, and data centers.

When it comes to electric vehicles, two things are considered when choosing a car: vehicle driving range and battery charge time. These two key performance indicators are used when making a vehicle purchase decision, and both of these technologies rely on energy storage.

Energy storage is also vital for grid stability, along with other factors, such as renewable energies.

“We find that grid stability and the presence of renewable energies injected into the grid itself add to the complexity and stability of the grid,” Davies said. “In this situation, energy storage plays a key role in providing grid stability and with the protection of equipment in the utility market.”

In the industrial world, energy storage helps reduce demand for peak energy charges, which will help save money. Those peak hours include hot summer afternoons, where energy demand is high, which drive up energy costs. Energy storage mitigates some of those costs, protects equipment, and provides continuity for energy.

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs. Only 33% rate their asset lifecycle management as advanced, and 49% report operational data silos.

  • 01Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs, but only 33% rate the asset management that AI would run on as advanced.
  • 02Half of executives say asset management runs in silos with limited predictive capability, suggesting early AI spend may go to data integration before models.
  • 03Pew says grid modernization capex is pressuring rates; it also says using DERs via virtual power plants could serve peak demand at 40%–60% of traditional costs and help defer or avoid some infrastructure upgrades.

Siemens Canada to build a digital twin of Rock Tech's Ontario lithium converter

Siemens Canada to build a digital twin of Rock Tech's Ontario lithium converter

Siemens Canada will develop a digital process twin for Rock Tech Lithium's planned Red Rock Lithium Converter in Ontario. The plant is planned for up to 32,000 tonnes a year of lithium carbonate equivalent. Siemens will also support the ongoing definitive feasibility study, expected to be finalized by mid-December 2026, in process control, instrumentation and automation architecture.

  • 01Siemens' control and automation support is part of the ongoing feasibility study, which suggests Red Rock's control layer is being shaped at the study stage.
  • 02The DFS, expected to be finalized by mid-December 2026, is the next hard marker: the first version of the twin is built on its results.
  • 03Rock Tech and Siemens say they want Red Rock to serve as a blueprint for future converters in Canada and allied markets, and they will evaluate applying the cooperation to projects in other G7 countries.

Blue Energy asks NRC to approve building the gas portion of its Texas plant first

Blue Energy asks NRC to approve building the gas portion of its Texas plant first

Blue Energy has submitted the first part of a permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It covers the first nuclear unit at the company's planned gas-to-nuclear plant in Texas. Blue Energy wants approval to build the natural gas units and balance-of-plant systems before adding the nuclear reactors.

  • 01Blue Energy says the plant will be project-financed rather than paid for by ratepayers. For data center and industrial power buyers, the financing terms could matter as much as the reactor choice.
