This is a neat event that DOE hosts every year: A full-scale cyber training event designed to strengthen U.S. energy grid resilience on Plum Island, New York, across an 840-acre grid that mirrors real utility environments.

Ohio’s largest utility pushes to slash rooftop solar compensation
The state’s Public Utilities Commission will decide this year whether to keep its solar net-metering rules in place or to dilute them, per AEP Ohio’s…

Home batteries are quietly becoming a game-changer for grid stability. As installations surge, utilities are tapping residential storage to manage peak demand during extreme weather—deferring costly upgrades while boosting resilience.
The key to scaling? Treat it like market development, not just tech deployment. Simple enrollment, risk-sharing models, and coordinated action between utilities and manufacturers can unlock massive participation.

Programmatic alignment is key to scaling residential battery demand response
Utilities, battery manufacturers, technology providers and customers all operate under different incentive structures, writes Uplight’s Sneha Vasudevan.

Selling Privacy in Blockchain Transactions

Abstract: We study methods to enhance privacy in blockchain transactions from an economic angle. We consider mechanisms for privacy-aware users whose utility depends not only on the outcome of the mechanism but also negatively on the exposure of their economic preferences. Specifically, we study two auction-theoretic settings with privacy-aware users. First, we analyze an order flow auction, where a user auctions off to specialized agents, called searchers, the right to execute her transaction while maintaining a degree of privacy. We examine how the degree of privacy affects the revenue of the auction and, broadly, the net utility of the privacy-aware user. In this new setting, we describe the optimal auction, which is a sealed-bid auction. Subsequently, we analyze a variant of a Dutch auction in which the user gradually decreases the price and the degree of privacy until the transaction is sold. We compare the revenue of this auction to that of the optimal one as a function of the number of communication rounds. Then, we introduce a two-sided market - a privacy marketplace - with multiple users selling their transactions under their privacy preferences to multiple searchers. We propose a posted-price mechanism for the two-sided market that guarantees constant approximation of the optimal social welfare while maintaining incentive compatibility (from both sides of the market) and budget balance. This work builds on the emerging line of research that attempts to improve the performance of economic mechanisms by appending cryptographic primitives to them.

Finland adds 227 MW of utility-scale solar in 2025
Finland’s large-scale solar capacity more than doubled in 2025, buoyed by the commissioning of the country’s first solar projects larger than 50 MW. Another record year for ground-mounted solar is expected this year but a forthcoming Land Use Act risks threatening future projects.
