Winning POWER’s highest honor is a set of three gas-fired power plants and related infrastructure—the Egypt Megaproject—which was the single biggest order ever in Siemens’ long history. Completed in a record-setting 27.5 months from financial closure, the three plants added 14.4 GW to Egypt’s power grid, heaving the country away from persistent power shortages that would have crippled industrial growth and setting it firmly en route to long-term power security.

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) – The owner of a now-shuttered nuclear power plant in Plymouth has sold the facility to a private company for decommissioning.
Entergy Corp. said it has completed the sale of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to Holtec International, which plans to complete major decommissioning work at the site decades sooner than if Entergy had continued to own the facility.
The two announced the planned sale last year.
U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey and U.S. Rep. William Keating – all Democrats – recently urged the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to delay ruling on the license transfer needed to finalize the sale. Last week, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved transfer of the licenses for Pilgrim to Holtec.

Asia Pacific is expected to spend nearly $11 billion on energy storage software in the next 10 years and become the largest market for that sector, according to a new report from Navigant Research.
Energy storage capacity is expensive, but growing exponentially around the world as utilities and grid leaders figure a way to combine renewable energies with resiliency. Breakthroughs in digital technologies, including the Internet of Things, machine learning and blockchain, are helping drive the battery storage transition.
Navigant estimated that Asia Pacific will account for close to $10.7 billion in cumulative energy storage system software vendor revenue through 2028. Its report, “Energy Storage Software,” analyzes the market with a focus on asset management, aggregation and grid services.
