Liquefied natural gas has once again become trendy. After several years under attack from environmentalists, even the EU has accepted that natural gas, in whatever form it can get it, is going to stay in the energy mix for quite a while yet. The U.S. is building new export capacity like there is no tomorrow; Qatar is ramping up output; and Malaysia is boosting coal imports so it has more LNG to export. Over the first half of the year, Malaysia imported a record amount of thermal coal—the sort used for power generation. The total for the six-month…

US retail power prices have surged 13% since 2022, outpacing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and driving higher costs for consumers. While many have pointed to rising demand from data centers as the culprit for the increase, Rystad Energy’s analysis shows that data centers have yet to significantly influence power prices in the current terms. Our research points to the full price impact of data centers emerging closer to 2030, driven by the completion of a wave of data center infrastructure and more centers coming online. Rystad predicts that…

Fossil fuel dependence has long been a geopolitical liability. The crises over Middle East embargoes, pipeline disruptions, and Russia’s weaponization of gas supply have repeatedly exposed how brittle energy systems built on oil and gas can be. By contrast, renewable energy offers a fundamentally different strategic logic: once deployed, solar and wind farms are far less exposed to conventional geopolitical disruption. They are not immune from supply chain risks, but as electricity systems mature, renewables provide a pathway out of fossil…
