Officials said the district will install solar at Hillcrest and Stonehurst with a $2M price tag, expecting roughly $1.5M in tax‑credit and grant subsidies and a payback period of about six years.

Sponsor Doctor Warren told the Planning and Zoning Committee the city paused permits for new data centers for 135 days to allow DPD to draft zoning standards that would limit generators near schools and encourage closed-loop/battery systems; councilmembers expect a follow-up report within 45 days and biweekly committee updates.

SiteLayerOne representatives told the board that drafted moratorium language is overly broad and might capture front-of-meter solar and storage; the company said Tri-State interconnection feasibility results expected in Feb. 2027 will clarify project scope.

Twelve 80MW Xe-100 reactors would sit on a former coal site in Sullivan County, with Amazon as first buyer. No cost or start date given. What is agreed so far?

SINGAPORE, Oct 26 (Bernama) — Nuclear energy can offer countries an option to strengthen long-term energy security amid global supply disruptions, said International Energy Agency (IEA) executive director Dr Fatih Birol. Described as a source of safe, domestically generated and reliable baseload electricity, he said interest in nuclear power has increased amid the current energy crisis as countries reassess their energy strategies and seek to reduce reliance on external energy supplies. “The appetite for nuclear power has now increased as a result of the current crisis, because nuclear is a safe energy source. “Therefore, reliance on other countries is less, […]

Polish power group PGE said on October 23 that its renewables subsidiary PGE EO had begun building one of the biggest energy storage facilities in Poland and in Europe, a 400MW/800MWh unit in Nowy Czarnów. The facility, ME Gryfino, is due to become operational at the end of 2028. “The construction of the energy storage facility in Gryfino is a prime example of our new strategy in practice. By investing over PLN1.14bn (€255mn) in Western Pomerania - a region of strategic importance to the national energy sector - we are entrusting the implementation of this project to a consortium of Polish companies,” PGE’s CEO Dariusz Lubera said in a press release. “By meeting our target of a 65% local content share, we are demonstrating that Gryfino’s modern transformation and the country’s energy security can go hand in hand with the stable development of Polish enterprises,” he added. A consortium of Polish companies, Spec Bau Polska and EL Professional, is responsible for the construction, while Fluence is the technology supplier. Under PGE’s PLN210bn (€48bn) investment programme, announced on October 20, around PLN80bn will be allocated to the development of offshore and onshore wind power and energy storage facilities until 2035.

Parallel Products Solar Energy, LLC requested a special permit and site plan review for a large‑scale ground‑mounted overhead solar canopy at 235 Main Street spanning RA and TC zoning districts; the board is scheduled to discuss and possibly vote on October 27, 2026.

A quick summary of motions and roll-call outcomes from the Lincoln County Planning Commission meeting: three conditional-use permits were approved and two ordinance items were forwarded for broader consideration.

The council approved a 15‑year AMI agreement with Landis and Gear to replace about 36,000 electric meters, beginning with a 500‑meter pilot; staff said the project budget is $9,531,000 with capped annual support over 15 years.

Staff warned that nearly $170,000 in rebate funding from Xcel Energy and the Colorado Energy Office is at risk of expiring Dec. 31 without written extension; council majority asked staff to keep the Wynn Marion contract on the regular-meeting agenda and discussed building three priority level-2 sites if grant funding is uncertain.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lektra, Inc., a distributed energy and artificial intelligence company, today began taking orders for EdgeStart, a self-contained server cabinet that commercial and industrial building owners, solar and storage sites, and energy developers to house in underutilized facility space and power with existing solar arrays and batteries. Lektra installs the system, operates it […]

The village board voted to annex approximately 40 acres adjacent to an existing peaker plant into the Village of Manhattan to enable a temporary construction yard and related development obligations for the Lincoln Solar project.

After adopting the new SDZ code, Iron County commissioners voted to repeal the temporary moratorium (ordinance 2026-13) by adopting ordinance 2026-24, opening the county to new permit applications under the updated code; staff noted the moratorium would have expired Nov. 22 if left in place.

Experiments show a disordered structure enhances lithium transport while preventing performance degradation CHUNGCHEONG PROVINCE, South Korea, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lithium-rich cathodes could be key to developing batteries with higher energy densities. However, transition metal ions can drift out of place during operation, blocking lithium transport. In a recent study, researchers from Korea tackled this issue by intentionally introducing disorder in the cathode’s atomic structure. This strategy resulted in improved performance and stability, highlighting a potential new route toward higher-energy batteries for applications like electric vehicles and energy storage. Lithium-rich cathode materials promise higher energy density for next-generation batteries […]

BGE, Pepco/Delmarva and Washington Gas each told the commission midyear EMPOWER results are on track: BGE reported 62% of its GHG goal and $93 million in incentives; Pepco reported 168,164 metric tons (43% of its goal); Washington Gas reported 86,600 metric tons (57% of its requirement).

The Pittsylvania County Board of Zoning Appeals on Oct. 26 approved a special-use permit allowing temporary construction-access easements for the Firefly Energy solar project on the Burnett parcel; the company said the easements could avoid two stream crossings and noted $12,000,000 in payments to the county under the siting agreement.

Staff asked the board to approve hiring a drainage engineering consultant to review the Summit Lake Solar project’s proposed reroute/abandonment petitions affecting County Ditch 11, JD 11B and JD 8. Quotes from Bolton & Menk, Houston Engineering and Moore Engineering were attached; staff recommended Houston Engineering based on relevant 103E petition experience.

ECMC staff said the De Novo project (Washington County) will serve ethanol plants in Logan and Yuma counties and reported the project is set to store about 350,000 metric tons of CO2 per year; the application was submitted in 2023 and remains under technical review.
