| Keywords: | POWER SPEAKING OF POWER Data Centers and Communities: Why the Conversation Demands More Nuance GLOBAL MONITOR Europe Embraces Energy Storage to Enhance Power Flexibility THE BIG PICTURE: A History of High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors ZettaJoule Pursues a Second Act for Japan's High-Temperature Nuclear Reactor POWER Digest FOCUS ON O&M Strengthening Grid Reliability in a More Dynamic Energy Landscape LEGAL & REGULATORY Power, Policy, and Scale: Inside the State Regulatory Response to Data Center Expansion COVER FOCUS: SOLAR POWER Policy Problems Aside, Solar Continues to Shine Despite an increasingly challenging policy environment, solar energy continues to set records and attract investment. Industry analysts and executives point to solar's unmatched build speed, falling costs, and surging demand from data centers as the forces keeping growth on track. A Blueprint for Successful Solar Canopy Projects Solar canopies are transforming underutilized parking lots into clean energy assets-but success hinges on the details. This article walks through the key structural configurations, site planning strategies, and design considerations that determine a canopy project's cost, performance, and long-term resilience TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION 77 Miles, One Drone: Rewriting the Rules of Infrastructure Inspection A Florida drone company recently completed a long-range transmission cor ridor inspection in under three hours-at roughly a quarter of the cost of traditional helicopter surveys. The mission demonstrates that scalable, bevond- vlsual-Iine-of-siqht drone operations are already achievable under existing Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Fewer People, Older Assets, Higher Stakes: How the Power Sector Is Rethinking Preventive Maintenance Aging assets, retiring workers, and surging demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are forcing power plant operators to rethink how they approach preventive maintenance. Industry experts explore how standardization, AI-assisted knowledge capture, and cautious steps toward autonomous control are helping bridge the gap. The Power Problem Behind AI-and a Path to Fix It 26 Artificial intelligence (AI) training data centers create massive, unpredictable power swings that can destabilize the grid-making straightforward utility connections impractical for now. This article examines how battery energy storage, microgrid control, and unified supervisory automation are helping data center operators stabilize loads and prepare for eventual grid connection. Data Centers and the Grid: How Hyperscale Computing Is Reshaping Power Infrastructure Web Hyperscale data centers now consume power on par with mid-size cities, and the grid is struggling to keep up. This article breaks down the technical, logistical, and supply chain challenges utilities and developers face-and explores behind-the-meter solutions that could help close the gap.

CYBERSECURITY Securing the Grid from the Sensor Up:Why Predictive Maintenance and CybersecurityAre InseparableThe sensors and predictive maintenance tools that keep power plants running also open the door to cyberattacks. Industry experts explain why securing the grid means bridging the information technology and operational technology divide, and treating cybersecurity as a reliability discipline. WIND ENERGY Don't Replace the Turbine, Re-Engineer It As the first generation of wind turbines ages beyond manufacturer service agreements, operators are finding that re-engineering components can be smarter than wholesale replacement. This article makes the case for life extension over repowering-and the economic, operational, and sustainability GAS POWER Maximizing Plant Operations in aTime of Surging Demand Web With new generation capacity slow and expensive to develop, extending the life of existing power plants has become both a reliability imperative and a financial strategy. This article outlines how condition assessments, proactive maintenance frameworks, and data analytics help operators make informed decisions about aging assets. (Visit powermag.com and search "Maximizing Plant Operations in aTime of Surging Demand" to read this online-only exclusive.) TECHNOLOGY Why PLCModernization Is Critical for Power Generation and Industrial Water Facilities Legacy programmable logic controller (PLC) systems are becoming a growing liability for power generation and water treatment facilities. Here's how a structured migration strategy can reduce risk, minimize downtime, and lay the groundwork for digital integration. COMMENTARY FusionWon't Replace Energy Policy By Guido Nunez-Mujica.
