Wind turbine orders hit 2.8 GW in Q2 ahead of tax credit deadline: WoodMac

Procurement of onshore wind turbines reached 2.8 GW during the second quarter as developers accelerated orders ahead of expiring tax incentives. According to research from Wood Mackenzie, the United States sector is projected to commission 39 GW of new capacity by the end of the decade. The pipeline shows minimal short-term development risk, with substantial portions of upcoming projects already active or being constructed.

Clean energy groups, states oppose MISO’s large load-generation study plan

Grid operator MISO faces resistance from clean energy advocates and state regulators over a proposal to fast-track assessments for co-located power generation and intensive electricity loads. Opponents argue the scheme lacks consumer protections and gives an unfair advantage to integrated utilities such as Duke Energy and Entergy over independent electricity producers.

Elon Musk’s dangerous grip on outer space

SpaceX has introduced speed-based restrictions on its Starshield satellite terminals operating in Ukraine, impeding military systems moving at high velocity. Ukrainian forces countering Russian drone incursions have faced operational failures as interceptors lost connection, leaving domestic energy infrastructure vulnerable to strikes. The development underscores the geopolitical leverage held by private orbital broadband providers over national utilities.
