E2 tracked nearly 8 GW of canceled clean energy capacity and $13 billion in abandoned investment in Q1 2026 alone. The hidden cost is what those projects were supposed to deliver.
Global energy transition investment hit $2.3 trillion in 2025. But capital is concentrating in data centers and a few large managers, leaving most clean energy deals competing for less.
Congestion costs in PJM topped $3 billion in 2025 and may double again this year — and those costs show up directly in electricity bills. Dynamic line ratings won't solve the underlying infrastructure gap, but they can take a meaningful bite out of congestion while the grid expansion the country needs catches up. The problem is that most regulators don't yet understand how.
Rare Element Resources reports Bear Lodge is tracking toward March 2028 federal permitting completion under FAST-41, with its Wyoming separation demonstration plant targeting late summer 2026.
Eighteen EU member states signed a cross-border autonomous vehicle testbed agreement in Luxembourg on June 8, with $21.8 million in digital infrastructure funding launching this month.
Federal permitting blocked 11 GW of clean energy in one year. The interconnection queue holds 2,060 GW more. Operations teams with project-tied energy timelines carry direct exposure.
Sustainability teams must now report the same data through CSRD, IFRS S1 and S2, CDP, and GRI at once. Software providers are splitting into two distinct categories to keep up.
Billion Watts and Enervest are developing smaller battery sites across NSW and Victoria. The portfolio targets local grid support, storage revenues and resilience.
Clean energy project finance credit standards shifted in 2025 and 2026. Companies with infrastructure commitments built on older assumptions are running into those changes now.
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline is 80 percent complete, with first oil exports targeted for October. The final river and wetland crossings now underway are, by the project's own assessments, the most ecologically consequential phase — and the damage, once done, cannot be undone.
M-44 cyanide devices are back in the predator-control debate. For land managers, the issue now spans safety, liability, pets and endangered wildlife.
Las Virgenes is testing subsea desalination. The project could add a local supply option as drought and imported water risks grow.
DOE selected Duke Energy for up to $96 million in federal funding for reliability upgrades at coal-fired power plants in Kentucky and North Carolina across three sites.
Red Metals is investing $70 million in a North Charleston copper rod plant launching Q4 2026, targeting shorter lead times for electrical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing buyers.
Permitting delays are stranding pre-development capital and driving carry costs higher. CFOs evaluating energy and infrastructure projects need to treat permitting uncertainty as a front-end financial risk.
Steel, copper, and grid material costs have reset project economics across clean energy and infrastructure. Finance teams holding 2022-era models need to close the gap before H2 capital decisions land.
ISO 14001 is getting its most significant update in a decade, with new requirements effective April 2026 and a compliance deadline of April 2029. The changes are more complex than they appear — and organizations that wait to start preparing will feel it.
A power purchase agreement (PPA) lets companies buy renewable energy directly from a generator at a fixed price. Here's how they work, who they're right for, and what to watch out for.
Canovation and CANPACK are preparing CanReseal for pilot-line use. The project tests whether resealable aluminum cans can fit existing production.
Wisconsin settled its PFAS enforcement case against Tyco Fire Products, requiring a $10M trust fund payment, replacement wells, and 20 years of groundwater monitoring in Marinette County.
