BESS Grid Connection: The hidden technical requirements that make-or-break approval
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are moving from “nice-to-have” to grid-critical infrastructure. Despite rapidly strengthening commercial drivers for BESS, including firming, ancillary services, congestion relief, and hybridization, grid interconnection timelines remain slow and increasingly constrained. Global BESS capacity is set to pass the 300 GW mark in 2025, with year-on-year installations continuing to accelerate.
Agrivoltaics: Unlocking land efficiency through dual solar‑agriculture use Part I
As global energy demand continues to rise, and governments accelerate the transition to renewable energy, agrivoltaics (APV) are emerging as a compelling investment opportunity with the market gaining significant momentum. The global APV market was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 5.1 billion as of 2025. Looking ahead, the market is expected to reach approximately USD 13.9 billion by 2034, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2025 to 2034[1].

Selecting the right supplier for renewable energy projects is one of many critical decisions a developer will make. While OEMs compete fiercely on price and margins, developers who focus solely on Capex risk overlooking crucial factors like technology, yield, timing, and financial exposure. In a landscape shaped by uncertainty, whether around permitting, grid connection, or offtake agreements, financial modelling becomes more than a tool. It becomes a strategic compass.

Striking the right balance: Grid independence vs. Power supply cost in modern Data-Centers
Global data-center growth is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, largely driven by the surge in AI workloads. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), data centers consumed about 415 TWh of electricity in 2024 (≈1.5% of global demand), and this figure is projected to more than double to 945 TWh by 2030, roughly equivalent to Japan’s current annual electricity consumption.
