United Utilities Signs Landmark Agreement For £3 Billion Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme
With an estimated construction cost of circa £3 billion the programme will be delivered by Cascade Infrastructure, a consortium of partners within which bring a strong track record of delivering similar tunnelling schemes in Europe. Cascade Infrastructure Ltd. consists of a consortium of STRABAG and Equitix – the consortium was named by the water company as the preferred bidder to deliver the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme in January 2025. The original 110km pipeline - which is approaching its 70th birthday - was a major feat of engineering when it was originally built. It uses gravity to carry 570 million litres of water every day to customers and businesses across Cumbria, Lancashire and Greater Manchester. As part of the programme to upgrade and improve the region's strategic water network, this new contract paves the way for one of the largest water infrastructure programmes across the UK, creating hundreds of jobs in the region. The programme is the first in the water sector to be delivered through a Direct Procurement for Customers model to provide best value for customers. It covers the design, construction, maintenance and financing of the scheme. Chris Taylor-Dawson, Senior Director, Major Projects and Markets at Ofwat described the project as a huge development for the North West, and the first programme of its kind for the sector approved by Ofwat - marking a huge step forward for the water industry as a whole. “Safeguarding water resilience for generations to come is vital and HARP sets a new standard for innovation and collaboration in the sector,” he added. Construction will get underway in 2026 and will see six tunnel sections replaced with most of the work happening below ground using the latest tunnelling techniques. As well as securing supplies for millions of customers, the project will bring a range of economic benefits to the region. Around 1200 people will be employed at the construction peak with an apprentice recruitment programme to help build and secure skills for the future. Louise Beardmore, Chief Executive at United Utilities, said: "Making the North West stronger, greener and healthier is at the heart of everything we do. Today marks a significant step to ensure we have the right infrastructure to provide a resilient water supply to communities right across the region for decades to come and, at the same time, creating hundreds of great quality jobs and delivering on the commitments and promises we have set out." Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, commented: "The Haweswater Aqueduct has served our region well for decades. This landmark investment ensures it will continue to do so for generations to come. It's not just about securing the water supplies we need for our city region to grow - it's also about creating jobs, building skills, and delivering long-term value for our communities." Water Minister, Emma Hardy said the Government was rebuilding the water network from the ground up through one of the largest infrastructure projects ever seen in Britain. “In a new era of partnership between government and industry, we are upgrading pipes, tackling sewage spills and safeguarding water security so communities can once again take pride in their rivers, lakes and seas. Investments in projects like the Haweswater Aqueduct will be essential in this effort to secure clean water for future generations." the Minister added. Cascade Infrastructure Ltd. was first incorporated as a private company with its registered office in England and Wales at Companies House on 15th May 2025.

Canadian Solar Delivers Q2 2025 Growth With $1.7B Revenue, 7.9 Gw Shipments, $505M Gross Profit, $7M Net Income, And Strong Storage Pipeline Despite Rising...
Canadian Solar Inc. has reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. During the quarter, the company shipped 7.9 GW of solar modules recognized as revenue, representing a 14% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025 but a 4% decrease compared to the same period last year. Of this total, 672 MW were shipped to Canadian Solar’s own utility-scale projects. Net revenue for the quarter was $1.7 billion, a 42% sequential increase and a 4% rise year-over-year. The growth was mainly driven by stronger sales of battery energy storage systems and solar modules. Gross profit reached $505 million, a significant improvement over $140 million in the previous quarter and $282 million in the same quarter of 2024. Gross margin improved to 29.8%, compared to 11.7% in Q1 2025 and 17.2% in Q2 2024. This was supported by the release of unrealized profit from a U.S. sales-type leasing project, higher contributions from battery energy storage systems, and the benefit of a U.S. anti-dumping and countervailing duty adjustment. Operating expenses rose to $378 million, compared with $195 million in Q1 2025 and $234 million in Q2 2024. The increase was mainly due to impairment charges related to solar, storage, and manufacturing assets. Expenses represented 22.3% of revenue, up from 16.3% and 14.3% in the two comparison periods. Net income attributable to Canadian Solar under U.S. GAAP was $7 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per diluted share. This compared with a net loss of $34 million, or $0.69 per share, in Q1 2025, and net income of $4 million, or $0.02 per share, in Q2 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, the company reported an adjusted net loss of $23 million, or $0.53 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $60 million, or $1.07 per share, in the prior quarter, and net income of $4 million, or $0.02 per share, a year earlier. Cash flow from operating activities was positive at $189 million, supported by working capital improvements, particularly lower inventory levels. This compared with cash outflows of $264 million in Q1 2025 and $429 million in Q2 2024. Total debt as of June 30, 2025, stood at $6.3 billion, up from $5.7 billion at the end of March. This included $2.5 billion at CSI Solar, $3.5 billion at Recurrent Energy, and $0.3 billion in convertible notes. Of the total, $1.8 billion was non-recourse debt. Canadian Solar operates through two main business segments: CSI Solar, which focuses on solar modules and battery energy storage systems, and Recurrent Energy, which develops and operates utility-scale solar and storage projects. Recurrent Energy held a global development pipeline of approximately 27 GWp in solar projects and 80 GWh in battery energy storage as of June 30, 2025. Its business model includes electricity revenue from operating assets, project sales to support growth, and operations and maintenance services, with nearly 14 GW of long-term contracted projects. Within its solar pipeline, 2.0 GWp of projects were under construction, 4.2 GWp were in backlog (late-stage with secured agreements), and 21.1 GWp were in advanced and early development. For energy storage, the pipeline stood at 80.2 GWh, including 6.4 GWh in construction and backlog, and 73.8 GWh at earlier stages. Looking ahead, Canadian Solar expects third-quarter 2025 revenue to be between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, with a gross margin of 14% to 16%. Module shipments are projected at 5.0 GW to 5.3 GW, while battery energy storage shipments are expected at 2.1 GWh to 2.3 GWh. For the full year 2025, module shipments are forecast at 25 GW to 27 GW, and battery storage shipments at 7 GWh to 9 GWh. Revenue for the year is expected to range from $5.6 billion to $6.3 billion. Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO, noted that margins in the third quarter are expected to decline due to market challenges and normalization of storage profitability. He highlighted that full-year guidance for module and storage volumes remains supported by clearer visibility in the second half of the year, although some project sales may shift into 2026. The company continues to face pressures from rising supply chain costs and trade uncertainties but aims to balance growth and profitability with a disciplined approach. Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We delivered a second quarter largely in line with expectations. While revenue came in below guidance due to storage shipments shifting to the second half and delays in certain project sales, gross margin exceeded expectations, driven by a higher mix of North America module shipments and robust storage volumes. Following the surge in installations in China during the first half, we expect demand to normalize as the market adjusts to a new paradigm. We remain focused on navigating the uncertain policy environment with a focus on risk management and sustainable profitability.” Yan Zhuang, President of Canadian Solar’s subsidiary CSI Solar, said in a statement, “In the second quarter, we delivered module shipments near the high end of guidance. Despite tariff headwinds, e-STORAGE achieved one of its strongest quarters. With solar supply chain pricing trending higher and storage margins normalizing, we expect margin pressure in the second half. We remain focused on strategically managing module volumes to less profitable markets and growing our storage volumes globally. Meanwhile, we continue to build emerging profitability drivers such as our residential energy storage systems and bundled sales solutions.” Ismael Guerrero, CEO of Canadian Solar’s subsidiary Recurrent Energy, mentioned, “Revenue and profitability in the second quarter were sequentially lower, primarily due to lighter project sales. We monetized over 200 MW of projects in Europe and Japan, including our first and profitable sale of a battery energy storage project in Italy, while a project sale in Latin America shifted to the second half of the year. Overall, we expect our electricity sales revenue to grow steadily, as we enhance the performance of our existing IPP portfolio and advance construction in our target markets, with more meaningful contributions expected next year.” Xinbo Zhu, Senior VP and CFO, added, “In the second quarter, we delivered $1.7 billion in revenue and a gross margin of 29.8%. Non-recurring operating expenses, including impairments to projects and manufacturing assets, reduced profitability, resulting in net income attributable to shareholders of $7 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per diluted share. We continue to manage cash flow prudently, prioritizing disciplined capital deployment. Operating cash inflow was $189 million, and we ended the quarter with a cash position of $2.3 billion.” In recent developments, Canadian Solar published its 2024 Sustainability Report in May 2025, outlining progress on sustainability goals in line with global reporting standards. Its subsidiary, Eternalplanet, won the Red Dot Award 2025 for its EP Cube residential energy storage system, adding to other international design awards earlier in the year. The company also completed large-scale fire safety testing for its SolBank 3.0 storage system in June 2025. On the project side, Recurrent Energy announced financing for the Blue Moon Solar project in Kentucky, valued at $260 million, with operations expected in 2026. In July 2025, its 1,200 MWh Papago Storage project in Arizona began commercial operation, providing energy to Arizona Public Service under a tolling agreement.

Brazil Oil And Gas Adds Over $59 Billion In Annual Value For Public Programs, Study Finds
Pictured above: a Shell-operated FPSO offshore Brazil A new study by the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP) highlights the scale of the oil and gas sector’s importance in financing public policies in Brazil. The analysis shows that the industry generated more than BRL 325 billion ($59 billion USD) in 2023 for federal, state, and municipal governments combined. The survey, titled “The Importance of the O&G Sector for Public Finances,” details that in 2023 alone, federal revenues attributable to the sector exceeded BRL 155.8 billion. To illustrate the impact, this amount would be sufficient to alternatively finance: The value also surpasses by 58% the entire amount allocated to the Labor portfolio. “These figures demonstrate that the relevance of the oil and gas sector for Brazil goes far beyond the energy matrix. We are an essential pillar for sustaining the welfare state, financing everything from citizens’ retirement benefits to children’s education and healthcare through the SUS system,” said Roberto Ardenghy, President of IBP. “For this massive contribution to continue driving national development, it is crucial to ensure a business environment with regulatory predictability and policies that foster investment.” Impact on states The analysis also shows that the sector is equally critical for state governments. On average, revenues generated by the O&G industry represent around 13% of state budgets. This comes both from royalty and special participation transfers, as well as from ICMS fuel taxes, which totaled BRL 116 billion in 2023. The most striking case is Rio de Janeiro, where sector revenues reached BRL 30.4 billion, equivalent to 34% of the state’s total revenues. The study also highlights the relevance of ICMS in non-producing states: in Goiás, fuel-related ICMS accounted for 24% of total ICMS revenues, and in Mato Grosso do Sul, for 26%. For the first time, the IBP study consolidates the various revenue sources generated by the sector, including ICMS, government takes (royalties and special participations), signature bonuses, the Federal Government’s profit-oil under production sharing contracts, and general federal taxes such as PIS/Cofins, CSLL, and Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ), all of which apply across the value chain. The analysis concludes that the oil and gas sector remains a strategic asset for Brazil, not only from an energy standpoint but also as a key pillar of public financing. Ensuring the continuity and strengthening of the industry is therefore essential to generate wealth, jobs, and the revenues that sustain national development and the population’s well-being.

Browns $2.4B Stadium Plan Runs Into Airspace Turbulence
Long before ground is broken on the Browns’ planned $2.4 billion domed stadium in suburban Brook Park, Ohio, the club has faced a series of legal and financial obstacles to the project. Now, yet another hurdle is coming through the air, so to speak. The NFL team has received formal notice from the Ohio Department of Transportation that it is not issuing a permit for the planned Brook Park stadium because it would interfere with air traffic at nearby Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The Browns, owned by Haslam Sports Group, plan to recess the stadium about 80 feet into the ground, but still top out at 221 feet above ground. That plan, however, is 58 feet higher than the maximum allowable height for that location, according to ODOT’s aviation office. “Please contact our office to request a permit at these reduced heights,” ODOT wrote in a letter to HSG representatives. “This structure may also be permitted at your proposed height at another location further away from the airport.” The Browns and HSG say they are “confused” by ODOT’s notice, and the basis for it, particularly given that they already received Federal Aviation Administration clearance for the project—provided there are red lights on the roof to help guide passing pilots. The FAA, however, has no jurisdiction over local zoning. The team has a series of options in addition to altering the stadium plan, including requesting a formal appeal of the ruling. “We’ve already begun working collaboratively with ODOT to explain the stadium’s heights and the detailed work we’ve done more fully, which shows no safety or efficiency issues to the airport,” said HSG spokesman Peter John-Baptiste in a statement. “We look forward to resolving this matter expeditiously and continuing our work to bring this transformative project to Northeast Ohio.” Late last month, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said there is “a 99.9% chance” of the Brook Park stadium happening while also acknowledging inherent difficulties around the effort. “This is a complicated project,” Haslam said. “There’s stuff going on. It’s three and a half years until the stadium opens, and we will have to work hard every day to get everything to come together.” Other issues surrounding the stadium include a lawsuit challenging the use of unclaimed state funds to support public construction bonds. The city of Cleveland is also fighting the team’s planned departure from the downtown Huntington Bank Field, and some local media are suggesting that Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb is behind the new, aviation-related issue. “Who runs the airport? The city of Cleveland, Mayor Justin Bibb,” said Cleveland.com editor Chris Quinn. “I think Mayor Justin Bibb has come up with the winning strategy to block this thing because he’s dead set against it.” Bibb has not acknowledged that, but Cuyahoga County executive Chris Ronayne, another opponent of the Brook Park stadium, also was critical of the potential impact on the airport. “We cannot emphasize enough that downtown Cleveland is the best location for the stadium, both for the team and the residents of Cuyahoga County,” he said. The Browns, meanwhile, said Monday that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, 40, will be the team’s Week 1 starter, ending what had been building intrigue around the decision. The team has a particularly crowded quarterback room that includes fifth-round draft pick Shedeur Sanders.

Details Of T1'S Solar Vision Emerge After Bailing On $2.6B U.S. Battery Factory
T1 Energy and Corning today announced a new partnership to boost the U.S. solar supply chain. T1 will source hyper-pure polysilicon and solar wafers made by Corning at its plant in Michigan. Starting later next year, Corning wafers will be delivered to T1's G2_Austin solar cell facility, which is currently under development. The cells will then be used to make solar modules at T1's operational G1_Dallas site. Most Read on IEN: T1's G2_Austin 5 GW Solar Cell Facility is an $850 million project. According to the company, the project is enabled by the Trump Administration's tariffs and other policies that support American manufacturing. The facility is expected to begin producing cells by the end of 2026 and create up to 1,800 full-time jobs. G2_Austin is a key part of T1's strategy to build a domestic solar and battery supply chain. T1, formerly known as Norwegian company Freyr Battery, is now based in Austin, Texas. This February, Freyr announced plans to shift its focus from lithium battery development to American solar panel manufacturing with "battery aspirations." Officials in Georgia may still have a sour taste in their mouths when it comes to T1. When T1 rebranded earlier this year, it also abandoned plans to build a massive electric battery factory in Newnan, which is near Atlanta. The company said it was bailing on the $2.6 billion project that was set to hire more than 700 people. According to T1, the new agreement with Corning will create a more stable and predictable supply of domestically sourced solar components. By connecting American-made polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules, this vertically integrated model supports long-term planning, regulatory compliance and energy resilience, the company says. T1 says the U.S. needs more electricity immediately to compete in the global AI race and achieve energy independence. The T1-Corning agreement addresses this urgency by unlocking the nation's most scalable energy source through a manufacturing base that spans Michigan and Texas. The company bought its solar panel factory from top Chinese solar panel maker Trina Solar for $340 million last year. "This landmark supply chain agreement with Corning will help invigorate America with scalable, reliable, low-cost energy," said Daniel Barcelo, T1's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "This is American companies building in America and protecting American energy security." According to Barcelo, the U.S. needs to establish critical energy supply chains built on domestic capacity and industrial knowhow. AB Ghosh, Corning Vice President and General Manager of Solar and Chairman and CEO of Hemlock Semiconductor, said the company is "accelerating the ramp of our advanced manufacturing capabilities to support a resilient U.S. solar supply chain." Hemlock Semiconductor, which is majority-owned by Corning, is the largest U.S. manufacturer of hyper-pure polysilicon. The company is headquartered in Hemlock, Michigan. By building foundational infrastructure in Michigan, Corning hopes to add good-paying manufacturing jobs, strengthen the U.S. solar industry and advance a more energy-independent future for the U.S. Click here to subscribe to our daily newsletter featuring breaking engineering industry news.

This February. 00:58.610 --> 01:03.759 It announced plans to shift its focus from lithium battery development to American solar panel 01:03.759 --> 01:06.910 manufacturing with battery aspirations. 01:07.120 --> 01:11.239 Officials in Georgia may still have a sour taste in their mouths when it comes to T1. 01:11.480 --> 01:17.000 When T1 rebranded earlier this year, it also abandoned plans to build a massive electric 01:17.000 --> 01:19.879 battery factory in Noonan, which is near Atlanta. 01:20.080 --> 01:24.760 The company said it was bailing on the $2.6 billion project that was set to hire more than 01:24.760 --> 01:27.849 700 people. According to T1, the new agreement with Corning 01:28.059 --> 01:32.860 will create a more stable and predictable supply of domestically sourced solar components 01:32.860 --> 01:36.690 by connecting American-made polysilicon wafers, cells, and modules. 01:36.980 --> 01:39.769 This vertically integrated model supports long-term planning, 01:39.940 --> 01:43.449 regulatory compliance, and energy resilience. The company says. 01:43.660 --> 01:48.580 T1 says the US needs more electricity immediately to compete in the global AI race 01:48.580 --> 01:53.419 and achieve energy independence. The T1 Corning agreement addresses this urgency 01:53.419 --> 01:57.099 by unlocking the nation's most scalable energy source through a manufacturing 01:57.209 --> 02:00.110 base that spans Michigan and Texas. 02:00.400 --> 02:04.800 The company bought its solar panel factory from top Chinese solar panel maker Trina Solar for 02:04.800 --> 02:08.800 $340 million last year. This landmark supply chain agreement with 02:08.800 --> 02:12.119 Corning will help invigorate America with scalable, reliable, 02:12.240 --> 02:16.960 low-cost energy, said Daniel Barcelo, T1's chief executive officer and chairman of the 02:16.960 --> 02:19.669 board. This is American companies building in America. 02:19.669 --> 02:22.880 And protecting American energy security. According to Barcelo, 02:22.919 --> 02:27.419 the US needs to establish critical energy supply chains built on domestic capacity and 02:27.419 --> 02:30.940 industrial know-how. AB Gosh, Corning, vice president and general 02:30.940 --> 02:34.330 manager of solar and chairman and CEO of Hemlock Semiconductor, 02:34.539 --> 02:38.820 said the company is accelerating the ramp of its advanced manufacturing capabilities to 02:38.820 --> 02:43.139 support a resilient US solar supply chain. By building foundational infrastructure in 02:43.139 --> 02:46.610 Michigan, Corning hopes to add good paying manufacturing jobs, 02:46.860 --> 02:52.490 strengthen the US solar industry, and advance a more energy independent future for the US. 02:52.899 --> 02:55.660 I'm Anna Wells.
