The surge in electricity demand in the world’s AI hotspots has prompted a comparable surge in the demand for reliable supply. That surge was not expected. There are not enough gas turbines to secure that supply. This means the AI revolution would either have to slow down, or the grid would have to increase its reliance on coal. Natural gas has in recent years been marketed as a so-called bridge fuel between coal and oil, on the one hand, and wind and solar, on the other. When it became clear that “bridge” is in fact its own country…

Saudi Arabia has started to increase its oil output as part of a contingency plan in the event the United States attacks Iran and oil flows are disrupted, Reuters reported on Wednesday, as OPEC’s biggest oil producer positions itself as a "reliable supplier" looking to take up its traditional role as a key swing producer ready to stabilize the markets if a conflict occurs. U.S. President Donald Trump recently revealed that he is considering a "limited military strike" on Iran in a bid to pressure its leaders into a new nuclear agreement.…

The pivot away from fossil-fueled power generation in the United States is stalling due to the Trump energy policy, increased power usage, and the fear of electricity shortages and blackouts. According to the Energy Information Administration, via Reuters, US power plants scheduled to close in 2026 could stay online longer, building on a trend that began last year as electricity use and prices hit record levels in some parts of the country. The EIA says 11 gigawatts of power-generating capacity was expected to be shut, with nearly 60% coal-fired…

The White House has requested formal pledges from US tech giants that the swelling data centre boom will not drive up electricity bills for households, as concern mounts over AI’s energy demands. Donald Trump has approached behemoths like Microsoft and Alphabet, who have notoriously rallied behind his administration, about signing voluntary, non-binding agreements committing them to “pay their own way” as they build out new infrastructure. Most notably, the proposal requests that hyper-scale data centre operators cover 100 per…

The Trump administration plans to allow energy companies to sell fuel to private Cuban businesses while maintaining a strict blockade on the Cuban government. The policy shift aims to alleviate a worsening humanitarian and energy crisis on the island by distinguishing between the Cuban people and the regime. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of Commerce are set to issue new guidance clarifying that Washington permits fuel exports to private Cuban companies without requiring specific licenses. Further, the Trump administration…

Soaring demand for power generation, the U.S. goal of quadrupling nuclear electricity generation by 2050, and a looming ban on Russian nuclear fuel imports could create a bottleneck in the nuclear fuel supply chain, according to U.S. enrichment company Centrus Energy. The American supplier of the key nuclear fuel is expanding domestic enrichment capacities, and so are other major Western firms. But until the new plants come online early next decade, the U.S. could face a supply gap in the fuel, Amir Vexler, chief executive at Centrus Energy, says.…

OPEC+ is likely to consider increasing oil output by 137,000 barrels per day (bpd) for April 2026, ending a three-month pause in hikes as they prepare for peak summer demand and navigate market share strategies, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday ahead of a scheduled cartel meeting on March 1.   The group had previously implemented 137,000 bpd hikes in late 2025 before pausing increases for the first quarter of 2026 in a bid to avoid creating a supply surplus. Unwinding previous output cuts will allow key members such as Saudi Arabia and…
