The transition of the Philippine energy landscape is increasingly defined by the entry of specialized international capital into isolated grid environments. A 30 million dollar bridge loan acquisition facility now supports the transfer of the 16MW wind and 6MW storage project of Philippines Hybrid Energy Systems Inc to Verdant Energy.
In Washington, the scaffolding of federal climate regulation did not collapse in a single vote. It was dismantled at its base.

Enfinity Global has commenced commercial operations on the first solar asset within its 366 MW portfolio dedicated to Microsoft, marking a critical transition from development pipeline to active energy supply.
Across much of the United States this week, winter has asserted itself with force. Temperatures plunged well below seasonal norms. Wind chills reached dangerous levels. Schools closed, flights were canceled, and energy systems were pushed to their limits as Arctic air swept deep into the country. It was against this
