South Africa renewables to surpass thermal capacity by 2035, forecasts GlobalData

South Africa’s power market is shifting from a coal-dominated, state-led system toward a more competitive model in which private developers build renewable projects for corporate buyers, municipalities, and to supply the grid, alongside growing bilateral trading and electricity wheeling. Against this backdrop, renewable technologies are expected to overtake thermal generation in the country’s capacity mix […]

UK offshore wind build-out to depend on grid connections and market reforms, says GlobalData

The UK’s clean-power transition is moving into an infrastructure-intensive phase, with offshore wind, solar PV, and new nuclear capacity set to reshape the generation mix. Delivering this build-out will depend on faster grid connections, transmission reinforcement, and market reforms that preserve investor confidence while managing a more variable power system, according to GlobalData, a leading […]

Canada clean power push challenged by interprovincial grid limits, says GlobalData

Canada is entering a pivotal phase of power-sector expansion as federal tax credits, the phase-out of coal-fired generation, and accelerating industrial electrification drive substantial capital into wind, solar, and nuclear power. However, realizing the full potential of these clean additions will require overcoming persistent interprovincial transmission bottlenecks and modernizing regional grids, says GlobalData, a leading […]

Sweden’s north-south grid divide risks limiting value of new clean power capacity, says GlobalData

Sweden’s power sector is set for further renewable-led expansion, supported by industrial electrification, green hydrogen development, battery manufacturing, data centers, and continued wind investment. However, constrained transmission between generation-rich northern Sweden and demand centers in the south risks limiting the value of new capacity and widening regional electricity-price differences, says GlobalData, a leading intelligence and […]

Brazil power reforms to accelerate shift to renewables, says GlobalData

Brazil is entering a new phase of power sector development as reforms to the electricity market, offshore wind regulation, and low-carbon hydrogen policy support investment in a more diversified renewable energy system. Solar PV growth, rising demand for grid flexibility, and a substantial offshore wind development pipeline are extending the country’s power sector beyond its […]

Australia’s accelerated coal phase-out demands swift dispatchable capacity replacement, says GlobalData

Australia operates one of the world’s fastest-decarbonizing power systems, marked by a rapid structural shift away from thermal baseload generation toward solar, wind, and storage. With the retirement of major coal-fired power stations accelerating and the federal 82% renewable electricity target for 2030 approaching, the country is deploying substantial market and policy mechanisms to safeguard […]

Americas to lead global microgrids market growth through 2030, forecasts GlobalData

The global microgrids market is poised for strong growth as governments, utilities, commercial facilities, military bases, and remote communities increase investment in resilient, decentralized, and digitally managed power systems. Rising grid reliability concerns, extreme weather events, renewable energy integration, and the need for a secure and reliable power supply are accelerating microgrid deployment across critical […]

Europe’s policies to shape offshore wind as next frontier in renewable power, says GlobalData

Europe is moving into an offshore wind “supremacy phase” as governments shift from ambition to execution, locking in multi‑gigawatt pipelines with redesigned auctions, clearer revenue stabilization tools, and faster permitting rules, according to GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform. GlobalData’s latest report, “Europe Renewable Energy Policy Handbook 2026,” reveals that offshore wind is increasingly […]

France faces major resilience test as nuclear output rises and renewables scale up, says GlobalData

France is solidifying its reliance on nuclear power generation and accelerating energy storage deployment to bolster grid stability, while scaling up interconnections with neighbors. As variable renewables scale, the true resilience test that the country faces is whether storage, flexibility, and backup options are ready, and whether markets and regulation reward capacity that can respond […]

Japan’s nuclear restarts to face hurdles from waste management and licensing, says GlobalData

Japan is making concerted efforts to bring its nuclear reactors back online, driven by a push to secure low-carbon baseload electricity, strengthen energy independence amid the escalating Israel–Iran conflict, and temper rising electricity costs. But alongside these gains, significant challenges around waste management, public acceptance, and protracted approval processes threaten to slow progress, according to […]

AI and ML emerge as cornerstones of predictive maintenance in power industry, says GlobalData

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming foundational to predictive maintenance (PdM) across the power industry, enabling utilities to learn the normal operating behavior of critical grid assets and identify early indicators of deterioration. By continuously analysing operational and sensor data, these technologies surface anomalies and emerging failure modes before they escalate, supporting […]
