The regulator cut £60.6 million from National Grid’s requested budget for the Bramford-to-Twinstead transmission project. Plans include 18 kilometres of overhead line and 11 kilometres of underground cable.
The US Department of Energy authorized PJM to dispatch generation and backup resources ahead of forecast high demand and planned outages in the Mid-Atlantic.
Researchers affiliated with Laval University evaluated a neural network that estimates power flows with fewer phasor measurement units on the IEEE 30-bus test grid. Results show that where sensors are placed can matter more than using the same number of devices.

A preprint from researchers in Italy and Germany links strain gradients in macroscopic bismuth selenide crystals to a stronger second-harmonic electrical response.
An October 9 preprint coauthored by a University of Maryland researcher examines the topology and angular magnetoresistance of hexagonal TiAs crystals grown by chemical vapor transport.
An October 9 preprint from BITS Pilani Dubai uses first-principles calculations to predict phononic frequency combs in two twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures.
An October 9 preprint from a University of Massachusetts Boston researcher describes a sensor layout integrating a laser, photodiode and readout electronics on sapphire.
Researchers in Egypt prepared activated carbon from date seeds collected in Qena and measured its electrochemical properties in a laboratory three-electrode setup.
A US study published October 11 measured acoustic-driven magnetic resonance at 655 MHz in a heterostructure formed by bonding the films and removing a carrier substrate.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia signed a memorandum on 11 October to cooperate on electricity and renewable energy. Its framework spans grid interconnection and electricity exports, storage, smart grids, AI and localisation of related supply chains. The announcement sets out no project capacity or implementation timetable.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
