This report by Ember and IKND argues that Germany has a significant opportunity to enhance its energy security and reduce gas dependency by scaling up battery storage. While Germany leads Europe in battery capacity and has a strong project pipeline, the authors warn that current legislative drafts and a lack of a clean flexibility strategy may unfairly favor fossil gas in upcoming capacity auctions, potentially locking the country into costly gas imports.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines how the US-Israel invasion of Iran on 28 February 2026 triggered an energy crisis that accelerated the transition to clean energy. It analyzes the outperformance of clean energy equity funds over oil and gas funds, shifts in investor sentiment regarding the necessity of natural gas, and the impact of regional cost-of-capital differences on renewable energy investments.

A statement by Natural Justice arguing that African nations must accelerate their transition to sovereign renewable energy systems to avoid the economic instability and foreign control caused by global conflicts and fossil fuel dependency.

This briefing by RMI argues that PJM can address rapid load growth and high energy costs by streamlining the interconnection process for Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ERIS) resources. Based on analysis by Aurora Energy Research, the document asserts that energy-only resources, particularly wind and solar, are financially viable without capacity revenues and could provide significant cost savings to ratepayers if the interconnection pathway is reformed to prioritize speed and minimal network upgrades.

A report by the South African Institute of International Affairs analyzing the internal complexities and competing interests of the expanded 10-member BRICS bloc regarding global energy governance and the energy transition.

The report 'Boom and Bust 2026' by Global Energy Monitor analyzes the global coal power landscape in 2025, highlighting a growing divergence where coal capacity continues to increase while actual generation declines. This trend is most prominent in China and India, where renewables are meeting most new demand despite record coal plant commissioning. The document details regional trends, noting that coal development is geographically narrowing to a few countries, while others, such as the EU and Latin America, are moving toward coal phase-out or 'no new coal' goals.

The report 'Boom & Bust Coal 2026' by Global Energy Monitor analyzes the global state of coal-fired power plants in 2025. It highlights a growing divergence where global coal capacity increased by 3.5% while actual production fell by 0.6%, as coal plants are increasingly used as backup capacity rather than primary energy sources. While China and India continue aggressive expansions, the number of countries pursuing new coal developments is declining, and the European Union is seeing a terminal decline in coal usage.
