National Grid MA has announced its natural gas winter supply rate at $9.56 per dekatherm (Dth). This figure will apply to customers throughout the upcoming heating season and reflects current market conditions heading into the colder months. The rate provides important cost visibility for commercial and residential users planning their energy budgets. While prices have….

The U.S. Energy Department, led by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, is pushing to expand the country’s strategic uranium reserve. This move is intended to help reduce reliance on Russian supplies and shore up the long-term reliability of nuclear power as demand for electricity rises with the economy’s increasing electrification. Russia currently supplies about 25% of….

The Trump administration has halted construction on Ørsted’s Revolution Wind project, an offshore wind farm meant to deliver clean electricity to 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut. The project was nearly complete, but the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ordered work to stop, citing national security concerns without offering specifics. State leaders and labor….

Google has reached a groundbreaking deal to bring advanced nuclear energy onto the grid in Tennessee, a first in the United States. The company signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Kairos Power and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to source electricity from Kairos’s Hermes 2 reactor in Oak Ridge. The clean power will support….

Over the past quarter-century, global electricity generation trends have shifted dramatically, with China emerging as the clear leader. Data from Our World in Data shows that in 1999, the United States generated roughly 3,800–4,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually—more than twice China’s output at the time. While U.S. electricity production has remained relatively steady for….

In late July 2025, the Lower 48 states set two consecutive records in electricity demand. On July 28, between 6 and 7 p.m. Eastern Time, use for cooling surges led demand to reach 758,053 megawatts, breaking previous records. That record was eclipsed the very next day, with demand climbing to 759,180 MW, marking a 1.9%….

On July 29, 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under Administrator Lee Zeldin and the Trump administration, unveiled a sweeping proposal to rescind the 2009 “endangerment finding.” This legal determination labeled carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as threats to public health and welfare—an essential basis for regulating emissions from vehicles, power plants, and oil….

President Trump, during a high-profile trade push, has struck major agreements positioning liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a centerpiece of U.S. energy diplomacy. Notably, he finalized a landmark deal with the European Union, securing commitments for roughly $750 billion in U.S. energy imports—including LNG, oil, and possibly nuclear fuel—over three years. The pact also saw the….

As of late July 2025, the Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm has ramped up electricity production from 17 turbines, delivering about 220 MW—roughly 27% of its planned 800‑megawatt capacity—to the Massachusetts grid. That’s enough to power over 100,000 homes. Project developers say they expect to reach 30% output by the end of the month and achieve….

Tensions in the Middle East have once again spilled into global energy markets. Following Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian territory—some reportedly targeting gas and energy infrastructure—liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices around the world have jumped, reflecting growing concerns about supply security and transport disruptions. Within days of the strikes, spot prices for LNG in key….
