France Gets Electrification Right, But 2030 Is Doing A Lot Of Work - CleanTechnica

France frames electrification as energy security, not just climate policy

France wants domestically produced electricity to reach 60% of its energy mix by 2030.
Public support for electrification is set to double to €10 billion annually through 2030.
The plan spans heating, transport, industry, generation, EV charging and grids.
Its biggest challenge is execution on a compressed timeline.

PV curtailment on the rise in India

India’s Renewable Curtailment Is Rising as Grid Constraints Bite

India curtailed around 470 GWh of renewable energy in Q1 2026.
Nearly 300 GWh was linked to transmission constraints and 170 GWh to system inflexibility.
The southern region reported no transmission-related curtailment, indicating better grid-generation alignment.

Eversource misclassified $385M transmission project to avoid scrutiny: ratepayer complaint

Ratepayer Advocates Challenge Eversource Over $385 Million New Hampshire Transmission Project

Ratepayer advocates filed a FERC complaint over Eversource’s $385 million X-178 project.
The complaint says the utility used an asset management classification to avoid tougher scrutiny.
Eversource says critics relied on outdated information and misread ISO-NE rules.
The case reflects broader concern over transmission costs and electric affordability.

US annual electricity consumption to grow 55% by 2050: NEMA

U.S. electricity demand forecast steepens as data centers and transport reshape the grid

NEMA forecasts U.S. annual electricity consumption will rise more than 55% by 2050.
The group says data center energy use will grow 300% over the next decade and account for 38% of net electricity consumption through 2037.
NEMA argues that grid-enhancing technologies, demand response, and behind-the-meter resources will be needed to meet demand.

Alsym and Juniper to deploy 500 MWh of sodium-ion battery storage

Alsym and Juniper Plan 500 MWh Sodium-Ion Storage Buildout With California Focus

Alsym Energy and Juniper Energy plan to deploy 500 MWh of sodium-ion storage, mostly in California.
The companies argue sodium-ion is better suited than lithium-ion for very hot regions because it can rely on passive cooling and avoid thermal runaway.
The project is a significant test of whether alternative battery chemistries can secure utility-scale roles in demanding grid markets.

Global power’s $8tn pipeline faces a buildability test

The Global Power Build-Out Is Enormous. The Real Test Is Whether Projects Can Actually Get Built.

Global prospective power-generation project value has reached about $8.09 trillion outside oil and gas.
Nearly two-thirds of that value remains in pre-planning or planning, with only 22.5% under execution.
Wind, solar and hydropower dominate the pipeline, but grid integration, costs and supply chains are major constraints.
