2026 North American Utilities Outlook: Striking a Balance Between Load Growth, Significant Capex, and Earnings Stability
SummaryOur outlook for North American Utility companies (Utilities) in 2026 is neutral.Key highlights include the following:-- We expect major utilities in the U.S. and Canada to continue to invest heavily in increasing reliable grid capacity to cater to the surge in electricity demand from artificial intelligence, data centers, industrialization, as well as broader electrification trends.-- This could pressure credit metrics and leverage ratios could be elevated in the near to medium term for s...
The best hydrogen for heavy-duty transport is locally produced and green
Photo credit top collage: Samara Doole, Possesed Photography, Thomas Reaubourgh via Unsplash.com If trucks ran on hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions from heavy-duty road transport could be significantly reduced. At the same time, a new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows that differences in how the gas is produced, distributed and used greatly affect its climate benefits. Locally produced green hydrogen is the best option for the climate – with th...
Natural Gas Demand Sparks the Largest U.S. Pipeline Build-Out Since 2008
SummaryStrong underlying demand for natural gas is accelerating pipeline construction in the United States with the greatest capacity addition since the peak of the last shale gas boom in 2008. There are 12 projects for new and expanded natural gas pipelines set to be completed in 2026 in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The added combined capacity of these projects will be approximately 18 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), which exceeds Canada's total daily natural gas consumption.Key highligh...
Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently without the scarce metal platinum
A green advance | A research breakthrough opens up for efficient hydrogen production from solar energy – without using the scarce metal platinum. In a reactor at a chemistry laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, bubbles of hydrogen gas can be easily seen with the naked eye as they form – showing that photocatalysis is happening efficiently.
