Key Innovations

Researchers are using generative AI to shorten R&D timelines for new battery chemistries and solar cell materials by up to 10x.

Aggregation of household batteries and EVs into VPPs is now a mainstream grid flexibility tool, particularly in California and Europe.

Innovation is moving beyond lithium toward iron-air and thermal sand batteries capable of providing 100+ hours of storage.

Advanced geothermal systems are moving into commercial pilots, providing reliable baseload power to complement intermittent solar and wind.
