Natural gas pipeline projects completed in the United States in 2025 increased capacity by approximately 6.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), according to our recently updated Natural Gas Pipeline Projects Tracker. A substantial portion, 85%, or 5.3 Bcf/d, of this new capacity is dedicated to delivering natural gas to the South Central region of the United States. This region includes the Gulf Coast, where much of the nation's growing natural gas demand, particularly from liquefied natural gas (LNG), is concentrated. The new capacity primarily connects both new and existing supply sources to consumers in the region.

In an interview with Energy-Storage.news Premium, Jay Jayasuriya, Principal at Sendero Consulting, argues that AI data centres are “convenient scapegoats” for grid failures

La propuesta tecnológica se basa en células de litio-metal con electrolito polimérico sólido cuya arquitectura permitiría simplificar el proceso de fabricación y reducir aproximadamente un 30% el CAPEX por GWh en una gigafactoría y en torno a un 30% el consumo energético por kWh producido.

<p>In a world desperate for new electricity generating sources of power, speed is essential in utility-scale solar. Too many projects fail from the knock-on effects of extended timelines in the pre-construction phase – the so-called “Valley of Death.” Solar design software is one tool that mitigates pre-construction phase risks without compromising speed or accuracy.
