The transformation of the electric grid brings new complexities to its security. Power systems that were once manually operated and physically isolated are now highly digital, interconnected, and increasingly reliant on software-based controls. This shift has introduced significant advantages—enabling faster response times, more efficient system management, and better integration of new technologies. However, it has also placed grid-connected assets at the center of a growing cybersecurity ...| Full Potential Blog
The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting industries worldwide. Applications such as generative AI and advanced machine learning systems promise economic opportunity—but they also bring unprecedented energy demand growth. Meeting the electricity requirements of AI has become a critical challenge for the global energy system while also presenting the chance to accelerate investment in clean energy generation, advanced grid technologies, and energy storage.| Full Potential Blog
The utility-scale energy storage market is in a constant state of evolution, presenting both new opportunities and ongoing challenges for owners and operators of large, dynamic fleets of renewables and storage assets. Early-year forecasts suggest that the U.S. grid battery fleet is set to double from 16 GW in 2023 to 30 GW by the end of this year, a testament to the sector's undeniable growth. Approximately 300 utility-scale battery storage projects are expected to come online by the end of 2...| Full Potential Blog

As Hurricane Beryl battered Texas in July 2024, leaving millions without power for days and causing an estimated $32 billion in economic losses, the importance of grid resilience was again thrust into the spotlight. This devastating event is not an isolated incident but part of a troubling trend. Power outages in the United States are on the rise, with major disruptions increasing by 64% from 2011 to 2021 compared to the previous decade.| Full Potential Blog
This past May, the Biden administration announced an increase in Section 301 tariffs on various Chinese imports, including batteries and related components. To better understand the implications of this decision, we sat down with Suzanne Leta, VP of Policy and Advocacy, Americas, at Fluence. In this Q&A, Suzanne breaks down the complexities of the new tariff structure, its potential impact on our industry, and how Fluence is preparing not just to adapt, but to thrive in this changing enviro...| Full Potential Blog
