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 […]

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 […]

Global battery energy storage installed capacity to rise sixfold by 2030, forecasts GlobalData

The global battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity is expected to continue to rise to manage growing demand from electrification, industry, and AI/data centers. Moreover, higher proportion of wind and solar increases intra-day variability, imbalance, and curtailment that batteries can mitigate economically. BESS additions are also driven by declining lithium-ion costs, stronger supply chains, and […]

Italy’s solar momentum risks cost overruns unless grid and permitting improve, says GlobalData

Italy is undergoing a significant clean energy shift. With electricity demand set to grow and renewables expected to capture an ever-larger share of supply, solar PV and hybrid renewables are becoming central pillars of Italy’s energy future. However, without improvements in permitting, grid access, and system flexibility, Italy risks elevated costs, delayed projects, and reliability […]

China risks grid reliability challenges as renewables ramp up, says GlobalData

China is witnessing a sweeping energy transformation as rapidly rising electricity demand, aging coal infrastructure, and international climate commitments converge. Renewables, led by solar PV, wind, and storage, along with nuclear power, are increasingly central to China’s electricity future through 2030. Without strengthened grid flexibility, upgraded transmission capacity, and tighter regulatory coherence, China risks bottlenecks, […]
