Storage keeps stealing the spotlight: pumped hydro broke 200GW globally and battery megaprojects in the Netherlands and Australia landed major financing in the same 48 hours. Nuclear had a strong showing too, with the US extending its SMR lead and the NRC clearing a faster regulatory path for fusion. Wind took a real hit as Duke Energy walked away from its Carolina offshore lease, underscoring that US offshore wind's political headwinds haven't eased. Heat pumps quietly crossed a milestone — outpacing gas heating replacements in several developed markets for the first time — while a landmark report put real numbers on wave and tidal's largely untapped potential. Solar's near-term story is dominated by the US tax-credit deadline landing today, which could reshape near-term project economics.
