With over 36,000 kilometers of coastline and an estimated total technical potential of 178 gigawatts (GW), offshore wind is gaining attention in the Philippines to improve energy security, lower electricity costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote economic growth. With the expected depletion of the Malampaya natural gas field — which supplies fuel for roughly 20 percent of the country’s electricity — by the end of the decade, a looming energy crisis has highlighted the need for accelerated large-scale renewable energy development.
To show the government’s commitment, the country has set a goal of sourcing 35 percent of its energy …

President Biden’s Investing in America agenda includes historic support for offshore wind
development. This document highlights key programs from the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as other resources from the Departments of the Interior, Energy, Commerce, and Transportation available to support the Administration’s goals of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 …
In the ever evolving economic and energy landscape, the outset of 2024 brings with it updated economic forecasts, particularly in the face of broad expectations for a slowdown. Yet, emerging data show resilience and unexpected growth, challenging preconceived notions and setting the stage for a reevaluation of this year’s prospects.
This article delves into the latest insights from TXOGA’s quarterly monitoring and analyses of economic and energy markets, with critical implications for American households and businesses, core to energy security and affordability, and especially important to Texas.…

The intent of the report is to align a new Administration on a pro-innovation agenda by reorganizing DOE to better promote energy security, with a focus on difficult-to-decarbonize sectors and deployment.
“The United States is in the midst of an energy revolution. Demand for new energy will reach all-time highs, breakthrough technologies are beginning to commercialize, and existing technologies are innovating new, cleaner ways to produce more energy,” said Rich Powell, CEO of ClearPath. “The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) can play an …
View Full ResourceDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the world realized that supply chains are fragile and can have significant national strategic implications, especially at a time when geopolitical competition is on the rise.
Recent attacks on shipping in the Red Sea further show that the pre-pandemic world, where supply chains were largely undisrupted and efficient, is unlikely to return. Today, the term “supply chain” is an all-encompassing catch phrase spanning international trade, logistics and manufacturing in the context of both corporate operations and national economic security.
This inaugural issue of Look Forward: Supply Chain taps into the knowledge of multiple specialists in areas …
Semiconductors have spread into seemingly every corner of daily life in the Western world today, from smartphones, appliances and automobiles, to the rapid rise of AI tools and platforms. Growing concerns over semiconductor supply chain security in combination with the passage of the $53 billion US CHIPS & Science Act has triggered a wave of major new semiconductor manufacturing investments in the US. Not surprisingly, some of the largest plans
for expansion come from the largest semiconductor manufacturers, with megafactories by the top four manufacturers already under construction across in several U.S. states, including Intel (Arizona, Ohio, Oregon), Taiwan Semiconductor …
The REN21 Renewables and Sustainability Report (RESR) builds on a yearlong research and consultative process among a wide range of stakeholders across sectors. It was conceived as a reference document bringing together different perspectives to analyse the benefits and identify the best practices to mitigate the potential negative impacts of renewables deployment. The report concludes that the environmental impact of renewables is significantly lower than any other energy source and can be mitigated with the adoption of existing best practice. The report also underscores the wide range of benefits of renewables on climate change, air, water and land pollution, biodiversity, …
View Full ResourceThe United States (U.S.) National Cyber Strategy, released in March 2023, highlighted the growing threats and risks that American critical infrastructure faces in cyberspace. China and Russia have become more sophisticated in their attacks and likely possess the means to put the U.S. energy sector at risk.
At the same time, the U.S. energy sector is in flux. Increasingly, renewable energy represents a core component of the U.S. national and regional generation capacities. As the percentage of power generation from wind assets grows, and attacks on the energy sector rise in complexity and frequency, cybersecurity for wind energy technology becomes …
