DTE Energy's Dearborn Central Energy Plant (CEP) generates electricity and distributes chilled water, hot water and steam to buildings at the Ford Dearborn Research and Engineering Campus (REC). The CEP consists of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant and a chilled/hot water plant for combined power and steam generation. A wide array of technology is deployed to make it possible for the entire CHP plant to be largely manned by one person per shift to take care of maintenance and operations.

Equinor and Norwegian state-owned company Petoro have signed a value-neutral asset swap agreement in the Haltenbanken area of the Norwegian Sea to harmonise their equity interests.

The UK is pushing ahead with plans for new nuclear reactors and to help deliver them it has launched Great British Nuclear (GBN). The new organisation has £20bn on offer to give industry and investors the confidence they need to deliver, at speed, a programme of new nuclear projects beyond Sizewell C.

In an era where technological advancements propel operational efficiency, the hydropower and dams industry stands at a pivotal junction, poised between innovation and vulnerability. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, this sector finds itself grappling with a multitude of cybersecurity threats that have the potential not only to disrupt power generation but also to compromise the safety and well-being of entire communities. By merging the insights of cybersecurity experts Phil Rouse, Founder of Ground Control, and Marlene Ladendorff, Principal Cybersecurity Consultant in Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric, this publication delves into the most pressing challenges, industry best practices, and crucial lessons learned, all aimed at fortifying the defenses of this indispensable critical infrastructure.

Coal-fired power plants are billion-pound investments that businesses (as well as whole nations themselves) around the world can't afford to simply discard. However, the combination of old plants, new fuels and new operating conditions leads to corrosion, faults, downtime and inefficiencies for plant operators and manufacturers.

Distribution system operators are facing a perfect storm of challenges, including integration of renewables and distributed energy resources, energy production and consumption volatility and the ever-more- urgent drive towards decarbonisation. Grids are already under unprecedented strain due to the rapid influx of renewable energy, and as net zero targets for energy generation draw closer, this is only going to intensify.

Equinor and its partners in the Troll field have reached a decision to invest over NOK12bn ($1.14bn) in the Troll Phase 3 project Stage 2 in the Norwegian North Sea.

Nuclear power plants offer low carbon generation, but they are large pieces of infrastructure and as such they have to take account of carbon emissions that arise from sourcing their materials and during construction, operation and decommissioning.

The FLIR G-Series features a family of high-tech, cooled-core OGI cameras that can help leak detection and repair (LDAR) professionals seamlessly locate, quantify, and document harmful gas emissions.

TechnipFMC has bagged an integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (iEPCI) contract from Energean for its Katlan development in the Mediterranean Sea.
