Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Future Power Technology. 

In this issue, we begin with a look into grid resilience, featuring insights from Schneider Electric on the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation and ABB Electrification Service on how businesses can minimise downtime through energy infrastructure investments. We also review takeaways from this year’s Power Summit, where industry and policy leaders call for urgent EU grid upgrades to support electrification. 

We then dive into how the growing power demands of AI data centres are driving both growth of the energy storage market and renewed debates over gas versus renewables. We also explore the potential of liquid air energy storage as a long-duration storage solution. 

Finally, we turn to new energy frontiers, including the role of tidal power in the energy transition and the strategic importance of developing lithium enrichment capabilities to support advanced nuclear technologies.
