L&T to Develop 3-GW Pumped Storage Project for Torrent Power in India
India’s Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a contract to build a 3-GW pumped storage hydropower project for Torrent Power, representing a major long-term investment in grid-scale energy storage. The project will support India’s fast-growing renewable sector by enabling large-scale energy shifting and peak power management. With a strong customer focus, the facility is designed to help utilities and end-users access more reliable, round-the-clock clean electricity. The project incorporates innovative engineering, advanced electro-mechanical systems, and optimized water management to deliver high efficiency and operational flexibility. Key benefits include improved grid stability, better integration of solar and wind power, reduced dependence on fossil-fuel peaking plants, and enhanced energy security, aligning with India’s national clean energy and decarbonisation goals.
Black Moon Energy Advances Lunar Helium-3 Mission for Fusion Energy
Black Moon Energy has engaged JPL to support a robotic lunar mission aimed at recovering helium-3, marking a bold long-term investment in next-generation fusion energy. The initiative reflects a strong customer focus on delivering abundant, clean, and reliable energy solutions for future power markets. The mission leverages innovative robotics, autonomous systems, and advanced space engineering to identify, extract, and assess helium-3 resources on the Moon. Potential benefits include progress toward commercial fusion energy, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and a transformational pathway to ultra-low-carbon baseload power. While still at an early stage, the project positions Black Moon Energy at the frontier of space-enabled energy innovation, supporting long-term energy security and the global transition to sustainable power technologies.
Polar Racking Enters Australia with 240 MW Maryvale Solar Project
Polar Racking has entered the Australian market by supplying foundation solutions for the 240 MW Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project in New South Wales. Located in the Central West Renewable Energy Zone, the project is being delivered by PCL Construction’s Solar+BESS Division as the EPC partner. Polar Racking supported construction of the utility-scale solar facility by leveraging its global manufacturing and engineering capabilities. The company views Australia as a key growth market, supported by more than 43 GW of installed solar capacity as of September 2025. The Maryvale project strengthens Polar Racking’s expanding international project portfolio.
FASTECH Achieves Key Milestones on FASTMAX Transportable Hydrogen Fueling Station
FASTECH has achieved major production milestones on its FASTMAX Transportable Hydrogen Fueling Station, a modular system designed to expand hydrogen fueling access across the U.S. In partnership with Kwik Equipment, FASTECH completed trailer fabrication and installed core hydrogen components, including the Maximator 1.5 Compression Module and Kustec Racoon 45 Hydrogen Chiller, using twist-lock connectors for stability and mobility. The 50-foot triple-axle trailer is engineered for high-pressure hydrogen operations. The unit will now undergo final assembly and testing at FASTECH’s Fountain Valley facility, enabling up to 700 bar fueling in line with SAE J2601 standards.
