About this archive page

This page is part of the Energy section archive. Page 1 lists the most recent analysis; this page holds the articles just behind it, all still maintained. The Energy section covers the systems that make electricity work: grid-scale batteries and storage, interconnection queues, renewables economics, nuclear policy and the market mechanics behind wholesale prices.

Energy analysis ages differently from gadget reviews: the physics does not change, but prices, capacity figures and policy timetables do. Articles on these pages cite the public datasets and official reports they draw on, and when a market or policy fact changes materially, the affected article is revised and its updated date changes rather than the claim quietly going stale.

Questions readers ask

Are the older articles here still accurate? The systemic explainers — how storage technologies work, why interconnection queues are long — remain accurate because the underlying mechanisms have not changed. Where a price or capacity figure was time-sensitive, the article shows its updated date so you can judge.

What sources does the Energy section use? Official statistics agencies, grid operators, regulator publications and reputable market reporting, all linked in a Sources section at the end of every article so you can verify the numbers yourself.

Does the section cover retail electricity bills? Indirectly. We focus on the wholesale and system level — generation, storage, transmission policy — because that is where the drivers of later retail prices are decided. Retail-specific consumer advice is not our beat.

Do you cover individual company earnings? Only where a result reveals something systemic — a storage supplier margin squeeze that says something about the whole market, for example. Earnings coverage for its own sake is not what this section is for.

Is the analysis relevant outside the US and EU? The systemic explainers are: how storage chemistry, grid queues and capacity markets work is broadly similar everywhere, and where a policy detail is jurisdiction-specific the article says which jurisdiction it applies to rather than generalising.
