AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoU.S. Permitting: The Senate voted 73–25 to advance a bipartisan bill speeding energy and grid projects. It would make large data centers pay for related grid upgrades, but critics warn it weakens environmental review and public input. Renewables: The IEA forecasts nearly 4,800 GW of new renewable capacity worldwide by 2031, with solar accounting for more than three-quarters. Gulf countries could gain by linking power systems and trading electricity across borders. AI Power Demand: Grid limits are sharpening the debate over data centers: Norway has suspended new capacity reservations, while developers seek more generation and faster connections. Ukraine’s Grid: Russian strikes have caused widespread outages, while repeated losses of external power at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant underscore the risks to electricity supply and nuclear safety. Power Markets: NRG Energy will sell nearly 5 GW of gas-fired generation to LS Power in a $4 billion deal. Emissions: Global fossil-fuel emissions are projected to dip 0.4% this year, but researchers say the fall is not yet a durable trend.
