How Solar PV Yield Risk Shapes Project Design, Investment, and Bankability

Mon, 18 May 2026 21:18:14 +0000

Expected annual energy yield (PVout) is a fundamental number for every utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) project. It informs the design, shapes the budget, feeds the financial model, and influences what investors and lenders are willing to accept. Behind every expected yield estimate, however, is a range of uncertainty. Part of it comes from the solar resource […]

From Backup to Prime Power: How AI Data Centers Are Bypassing the Grid

Mon, 18 May 2026 17:31:40 +0000

Data centers have traditionally depended on uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and backup generators to keep them online during a power cut, grid event, or natural disaster. But the critical nature of modern artificial intelligence (AI) workloads is such that there is no tolerance of downtime. Further measures must be in place to ensure energy […]
