Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing arm of Amazon, has announced an expansion of its partnership with RWE Group, a major German energy company. The collaboration extends beyond their existing power purchase agreements (PPAs) focused on renewable energy, with AWS now supporting RWE's efforts to develop predictive models using artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing technologies. This move exemplifies the growing reliance of the energy and technology sectors on AI to optimize operations and anticipate electricity consumption patterns.
Amid rapid global advances in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, concerns have mounted regarding the soaring energy consumption of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. The prevailing assumption has been that the exponential growth in data volumes and AI computing power would lead to a proportional rise in electricity usage. However, a recent white paper from Ericsson, titled "The evolution of ICT energy: Telecom, data centers, and AI," challenges this perspective.
As geopolitical tensions rise, from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict to recent clashes between Israel and Iran, the global defense landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. This shift is driving significant advancements in military technologies, particularly unmanned aerial systems (UAS), where endurance, safety, and the ability to adapt to diverse environments are critical.
AESC Group Ltd., the battery subsidiary of Shanghai-based green tech company Envision Group, has reportedly paused its US expansion plans due to funding constraints, but its existing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery production for energy storage is fully allocated.
Taiwan's first offshore wind farm project with a total installed capacity exceeding 1GW has started delivering electricity to the national power grid.
At the 18th SNEC International Solar Energy and Smart Energy Conference held in Shanghai on June 10, 2025, global solar enterprises gathered to discuss the industry's future. However, behind the bustling exhibition, China's solar industry is confronting its most severe structural crisis to date.
In the US, local government incentive programs for business attraction primarily hinge on factors such as the number of jobs created, salaries, duration, and capital investment amounts. In recent years, economic development strategies across various states have evolved from generic incentives to more focused, strategic approaches closely aligned with national objectives.
Following its 2024 acquisition of a local photovoltaic and energy storage project in the Philippines, ATE Energy recently secured two renewable energy bidding projects from the Philippine government, marking another milestone in advancing its presence in the country's renewable energy sector.
Buima told shareholders at its annual meeting Wednesday that the company will focus on cost reduction and efficiency gains while expanding its green energy operations internationally as it works to emerge from a business downturn.
Hanwha Solutions' solar subsidiary, Hanwha Qcells, has officially launched its solar module recycling brand, EcoRecycle by Qcells, marking its entry into the US recycling market amid growing demand for sustainable end-of-life module processing.
As Taiwan shifts its focus from front-of-the-meter (FTM) to behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage applications, 2025 is expected to mark a turning point, particularly for industrial and large high-voltage electricity users. However, unattractive return on investment (ROI) remains the biggest hurdle, slowing momentum for broader adoption.
