AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 minutes agoSpace Solar Breakthrough: China’s “Zhuri” project says it has built a ground test system that can wirelessly charge multiple moving targets at once, hitting 20.8% DC-to-DC efficiency over 100 meters and powering a drone at speed—another step toward space-based solar that could beam energy down. Legal/Policy Shockwaves: The U.S. Supreme Court let stand Medicare drug-price negotiations, while the U.S. DOJ moved to dismiss and then permanently drop criminal fraud charges against Gautam Adani as other U.S. settlements (SEC and Iran sanctions) wrap up. Grid Pressure From Demand: NextEra’s planned $67B Dominion takeover puts a spotlight on utilities racing to meet AI-driven power growth, even as some places warn of rationing risk. Water + Power Priorities: Pakistan’s PM pushed “results” spending, with water reservoirs and hydropower flagged—while stakeholders demand water gets at least 20% of development budgets. Storage Momentum: EBRD backed Egypt’s Benban solar-plus-battery plan, and the UK approved a new battery storage site in Guisborough. Local Solar Reality Check: In the Philippines, stakeholders warn installed capacity doesn’t equal usable power, and communities question how clean-energy expansion lands on fisheries and Indigenous consent.
