Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago at Abuja Steel Mills, owned by Africa Industries Group, showcasing its 17-megawatt solar power plant. The event also featured the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of a new 100-megawatt solar power project, with Farmer Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago laying the foundation stone. The project is expected to boost power supply, accelerate industrialization, and create employment opportunities for the people of Niger State. With this and other ongoing investments, Niger State is steadily positioning itself to host one of the largest solar power projects in West Africa, reinforcing its status as a hub for energy and industrial development.

“In cement, you can’t just think for the next 2-3 years, you need to think for the next 20 years…” 🎥 PPC Africa CEO Matias Cardarelli speaks today on why the company wants to build a new plant in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is an increasingly important market for PPC, with rising cement demand helping offset slower growth in SA and Botswana. In the year to March, PPC Zimbabwe’s sales volumes rose 18%. Volumes were up 25% in the first half. Growth was 12% in the second half, after a gearbox breakdown at the Bulawayo plant slowed sales in the region for two months. Revenue rose 20.5% to US$206 million, and earnings hit a record US$56 million. PPC received US$36 million in dividends from Zimbabwe, up from US$13 million in the previous year, “another record for PPC Zimbabwe.”

Gigascale Founder and former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer says new solar startups will go after installation costs rather than compete with China on solar panels. "If you look at a solar farm, you lay down all this steel and put up all this framing for the panels. When that panel was the most expensive thing on the field, then [startups producing solar panels] made sense." "But solar panels are now the cheapest thing in the field. All the rest of the stuff costs more than the panel." "I think what we're going to see is startups saying, 'Let's rethink how we actually deploy solar from a form-factor and automation perspective. And just go after installation costs.'"

This video being shared on WhatsApp groups: Storm damage of concentrating solar plant (CSP) - it looks like the Kathu plant in the Northen Cape, but awaiting confirmation. As bad as this is, it is probably about one eighth of what was lost at Medupi for 3 to 4 years when Unit 4 had the hydrogen explosion, and about one sixth of what was lost for more than a decade (and I assume permanently) after the Duvha boiler explosion.

What a lovely building! There are a few other apartment buildings & hotels that are "green," including the ParkRoyal Pickering in Singapore has 50+ plant varieties (incl veggies used at the restaurants) for air filtration, rainwater harvesting, 3M filtered water in the bathrooms to eliminate the need for water bottles, & solar panels.

This is Barack Obama’s Ivanpah Solar Electric Power Plant It a failed power plant that was set to close operations early 2026 after: - $1.6 BILLION in federal loans - $535 MILLION grant - $600 MILLION tax credit - MASSIVE investor write-offs But that shutdown has been rejected and it was decided the plant must keep operating. Which means taxpayers will pay roughly $105 million in extra costs passed on to California ratepayers for overpriced power compared to cheaper modern alternatives The California Public Utilities Commission unanimously rejected the shutdown agreement despite the plant being so inefficient it only operates at about 20% of expected electricity generation

Demolition experts safely imploded the 500-foot and 800-foot stacks at the retired Bull Run Fossil plant. After 61 years of service, the plant was retired in 2023 — and now we’re looking ahead. Now, we’re focused on what’s next—using this site to pursue new energy technologies for expanding American power generation. 🇺🇸
