MUNICH, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Europe's power market is sending two contradictory signals this summer. Renewable electricity is becoming so abundant that prices are falling below zero. Yet extreme heat is pushing power prices to levels more commonly associated with winter. Behind both trends lies the same challenge: Europe's power system is entering an era where dynamic balancing, precision dispatch and system resilience are becoming as important as generation itself.

Two extremes, one market

This past summer put the continent's changing electricity system under new pressure.

As temperatures climbed, demand for cooling surged just as parts of the generation fleet strained under the heat. High river temperatures and low water levels forced some nuclear plants to reduce output. Low wind conditions and reduced thermal plant efficiency tightened supply further.

The result was an unusually tight summer power market, with electricity prices rising to levels more commonly seen in winter. In Germany, day-ahead prices reached around €210/MWh during periods of extreme heat—levels typically seen in winter, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters.

Yet only hours later, the same markets faced the opposite problem: too much electricity.

Negative prices have become increasingly common as solar and wind penetration rises faster than the power system's ability to absorb, shift, and transmit renewable generation. According to the International Energy Agency, negative-price hours accounted for around 6% of the year in several major European markets in 2025, including Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Germany alone recorded 573 hours of negative wholesale prices.

Curtailment tells the same story. In May 2026, an estimated 1.28 TWh of solar generation was curtailed in Germany, and more than 2.4 TWh in Spain, as grids struggled to accommodate output during periods of abundant sunshine.

The apparent contradiction points to a deeper shift: Europe does not simply have a generation problem. It has a timing, location and flexibility problem.

From Generation to Dynamic Balancing

The challenge is no longer simply whether enough electricity can be generated. It is whether electricity is available when and where it is needed.

At midday, abundant solar generation can push wholesale prices toward zero or below. Hours later, solar output falls while evening demand remains high, creating a very different price signal. Extreme weather widens the gap further by simultaneously increasing demand and constraining conventional generation.

For renewable asset owners, value is therefore increasingly determined not only by how much electricity an asset generates, but by how effectively that electricity can be managed, shifted and dispatched.

Storage: From Energy Shifting to System Support

Battery storage is emerging as a key tool for balancing increasingly variable power supply and demand across Europe.

By absorbing electricity during periods of oversupply and dispatching it when demand and prices rise, batteries can reduce curtailment while improving the value of renewable generation. Increasingly, they are also expected to provide frequency response, capacity, and grid-support functions.

But not all storage is built for this new reality. The next generation of utility-scale systems must handle multiple durations, deliver high round-trip efficiency and provide the grid-forming capabilities required by evolving European grid codes. Just as importantly, these systems must be deployable at scale and commissioned efficiently.

This principle has shaped the development of Sungrow's PowerTitan series, which brings together battery technology, power conversion, thermal management and grid-support capabilities within an integrated platform.

From Flexibility to System Resilience

The value of fast-responding storage is already visible in Europe. In December 2023, a trip on the IFA1 interconnector between the UK and France resulted in the loss of around 1 GW of imported power, sending system frequency down to 49.3 Hz. Multiple hundred-megawatt-scale grid-connected battery systems operated by Sungrow in the UK responded within one second, providing frequency support and helping the system return to the normal frequency range within five minutes.

The episode illustrates a broader shift: storage is no longer only an energy-shifting asset. It can also become part of the power system's resilience layer, responding in the seconds that matter most.

From Technology to Scalable Delivery

As storage projects grow in scale, however, technology must be matched by execution.

At the 100 MW/331 MWh Bramley project in the UK, the PowerTitan 2.0 BESS supported the project's progression from grid energisation to commercial operation in just two weeks. At a much larger scale, Sungrow's 7.8 GWh energy storage project in Saudi Arabia moved from production to deployment in two months and was connected to the grid in 2025. The project demonstrates that grid-forming storage can be manufactured, delivered and commissioned not only as an individual asset, but at multi-gigawatt-hour scale.

Together, these projects build the technology, operational experience and delivery foundation behind the latest generation of the platform: PowerTitan 3.0.

PowerTitan 3.0: Engineering for the Next-Generation Grid

Built for applications ranging from 2 to 8 hours, PowerTitan 3.0 packs 7.14 MWh of battery capacity into a single 20-foot container, paired with a 1.78 MW power conversion system. Its SiC-based PCS enables system-level round-trip efficiency of up to 92%, minimizing energy loss during daily cycling. And with integrated grid-forming capabilities, it is engineered to meet evolving European grid codes that now prioritize stability alongside energy shifting.

"The next phase of Europe's energy transition is not simply about generating more renewable electricity. It is about making that electricity available at the right time, in the right place and in the right form. This is where flexible energy storage can create new value for both renewable assets and the wider power system," said Javier Izcue Elizalde, Vice President Europe at Sungrow. "This year, Sungrow estimates delivering 10 GWh of PowerTitan 3.0 across Europe."

A Market Moving Toward Flexibility

The shift is already visible in deployment figures. According to SolarPower Europe's European Battery Market Outlook 2026–2030, Europe installed around 36 GWh of new battery storage in 2025, taking operational capacity above 100 GWh. SolarPower Europe expects annual installations to exceed 50 GWh in 2026 and reach 138 GWh by 2030, with utility-scale storage becoming the key growth engine.

Europe does not simply need more renewable electricity. It needs a power system capable of moving that electricity across time, responding to increasingly extreme conditions, and extracting more value from every megawatt-hour generated.

In a market where prices can swing from below zero to €210/MWh within hours, flexibility is no longer a backup option. It is becoming a core source of value—and a new source of value for the energy transition.

Zoomlion Marks 34th Anniversary, Highlighting Milestones in Innovation and Global Growth

CHANGSHA, China, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion" or "the Company") marked its 34th anniversary on September 28 with celebrations across its global operations under the theme "Youth in Bloom, Horizons Beyond." The main event at Zoomlion Smart Industrial City in Changsha brought together company leaders and employees.

Employees from 22 countries delivered anniversary greetings in their own languages. Zoomlion's industrial parks, overseas business hubs and regional operations also held local activities on the same day.

Over the past 34 years, Zoomlion has expanded from its early roots in construction machinery into a diversified equipment business with operations in markets around the world.

1992 | The beginning. Zoomlion was founded in Changsha by Zhan Chunxin and seven colleagues, with an initial focus on commercializing engineering research and bringing new construction machinery products to market.

First product | HBT40A concrete pump. Less than a year later, the team launched the HBT40A, Zoomlion's first independently developed product. It entered a concrete pump market then largely dominated by imported equipment and became the company's first step toward building a broader product portfolio.

1994 onward | Expanding the product range. Zoomlion quickly broadened its lineup. By 1994, it offered 78 models across concrete machinery, construction cranes and sanitation equipment. By 1996 annual output value had reached RMB 120 million. The expansion moved Zoomlion beyond a single product category and into several areas of equipment manufacturing.

2000-2010 | Entering the capital markets. Zoomlion listed A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2000 and H-shares in Hong Kong in 2010, becoming the first company in its industry with an A+H share listing. The listings supported further expansion as the company's business and product portfolio continued to grow.

2002 onward | Adding new businesses. Through acquisitions and in-house development, Zoomlion expanded into foundation machinery, aerial work platforms and mining machinery. It also built capabilities in key components including control systems and hydraulics, broadening both its equipment portfolio and technical capabilities.

2006-2008 | Adapting to a larger business. As its product lines and operations expanded, Zoomlion introduced a divisional structure in 2006 to manage a larger and more diversified business. By 2008, annual revenue had exceeded RMB 10 billion.

One Zoomlion brand. As Zoomlion expanded into more businesses, some operations had developed under different brand names. The company later brought them together under the ZOOMLION brand, creating a unified identity across its domestic and international operations.

2008 onward | Expanding overseas. Zoomlion accelerated its international expansion with the acquisition of Italian concrete machinery manufacturer CIFA in 2008. Further overseas acquisitions followed, alongside the development of production bases, R&D centers and parts-supply operations outside China. The company also built local sales, service and parts-support capabilities in major international markets, extending its presence beyond product exports.

Today, Zoomlion's businesses span construction, mining and agricultural machinery. The company operates 11 overseas R&D and manufacturing bases, and its products and services reach more than 170 countries and regions. International revenue now accounts for nearly 60% of total revenue. In key markets, Zoomlion combines local manufacturing with sales, service and parts support to respond more directly to customer needs.

As it enters its 35th year, Zoomlion plans to continue advancing diversification, globalization and digitalization, with a focus on high-end equipment, intelligent technologies and greener development. The company will continue investing in technology and localized operations, including the use of AI, robotics and new-energy technologies across its businesses. These investments will support product development and help the company serve customers across key global markets.

- Multi-billion-dollar agreement marks the world's first commercial space-based solar PPA

- The 24/7 orbital baseload energy will power Brae's next-generation subsea data center infrastructure

- Virtus Solis's first public technical demonstration will be held in March 2027

TROY, Mich. and CHICAGO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtus Solis Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in the delivery of space-based solar for terrestrial baseload power, and Brae Systems, today announced the closing of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in which Virtus Solis will supply continuous, space-based solar power to Brae's advanced computing infrastructure. The deal represents the first solar PPA in space and Virtus Solar's first in a series of commercial offtake agreements over the next several months.

Under the agreement, Virtus Solis will supply 100 MW of 24/7 orbital solar baseload power, delivering 876,000 MWh annually, via a dedicated terrestrial receiving station to be constructed in Illinois. The contract includes an option for Brae to expand capacity to 250 MW (delivering 2.19 million MWh annually) within three years of initial commercial operations, representing a multi-billion-dollar lifetime gross contract commitment.

The partnership directly aligns with Brae's mission to deploy high performance subsea GPU data centers. By deploying compute modules in marine environments, Brae eliminates terrestrial land constraints and drastically reduces cooling and construction overhead. Pairing subsea GPU clusters with baseload orbital power solves the two greatest bottlenecks facing AI infrastructure: escalating thermal loads and regional grid power shortages.

"AI workloads require an unprecedented leap in both energy availability and thermal efficiency," said Vishnu Indukuri, Chief Executive Officer of Brae Systems. "Brae engineered underwater data centers to unlock natural free liquid cooling and bypass terrestrial bottlenecks. Securing a direct 20-year supply of firm, clean power from Virtus Solis ensures our GPU infrastructure operates with predictable power costs and zero carbon emissions, completely insulated from terrestrial grid curtailment."

Unlike terrestrial solar and wind, which require costly battery storage to manage intermittency, Virtus Solis harnesses space-based solar power transmitted continuously via high-efficiency radio-frequency (RF) power beaming. This ensures true zero-carbon, round-the-clock baseload generation with a guaranteed 99.9% uptime. With the support of a $2M corporate development agreement with ARPA-E, Virtus Solis is developing a new class of power electronics required for this new asset class of orbital generation. The next major proof point for Virtus Solis's unit economics will be in March 2027 when the company will perform a public demonstration in which it expects to yield record Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) efficiencies.

"Signing the world's first commercial RF space solar power purchase agreement represents an inflection point for the global energy transition and the future of compute," said John Bucknell, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Virtus Solis Technologies. "High-performance AI data centers demand uninterrupted, gigawatt-scale power that strained terrestrial grids simply cannot deliver cleanly. Our orbital solar architecture bypasses terrestrial land and atmospheric constraints, providing firm, reliable baseload electricity at scale. In Brae, we have found an ideal, forward-thinking partner rethinking compute infrastructure from first principles."

New capability identifies the device hosting proxy activity inside a subscriber's home, classifies what that activity is, and gives operators a path from detection to remediation.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CUJO AI, the global leader in network intelligence and cybersecurity solutions for network service providers (NSPs), today introduced a new capability that detects the specific device in a subscriber's home network that is being used as a residential proxy. The capability pairs that device-level findings with activity classification (such as ad fraud or malware) with remediation guidance and real-time notifications, giving operators a complete path from detection to resolution for the first time.

Residential proxy networks quietly resell home internet connections to third parties, routing anonymous traffic through real subscriber IP addresses, usually without the subscriber's knowledge. Compromised devices, bundled SDKs in free apps, and "get paid for your bandwidth" schemes are the most common ways a household device ends up enrolled. Until now, operators could at best flag a suspicious IP address; they had no way to say which device was compromised, quietly monetized, or actively taking orders from someone else.

CUJO AI's new capability closes that gap. Running at the home gateway, it identifies which subscriber network is hosting proxy activity and pinpoints the specific device inside the home generating it, along with clear, device-specific remediation steps and real-time alerts so operators can act before the damage compounds.

"CUJO AI can tell the operator which device in which home is the source and what to do about it. That's the difference between an alert and an answer," said Chris Turner, Chief Product Officer, CUJO AI.

For operators, the capability turns an invisible cost center into a manageable one: reclaiming bandwidth consumed by third-party traffic, protecting IP reputation, and giving frontline support a real root cause for slowdown complaints instead of a shrug. For subscribers, the specificity changes the nature of the conversation. Instead of a warning letter or account suspension, an operator can reach out with something genuinely useful: a device has been identified, here is how to fix it. Handled that way, an incident that would otherwise feel like a penalty becomes a demonstration of the operator looking out for its customers.

"Customers are often unaware that residential proxy activity is happening on their home network. Every one of these findings gives a network service provider an opportunity to have a helpful conversation with a customer instead of a difficult one. Delivered well, this isn't about enforcement, it's a moment when subscribers see that their provider is actively looking out for them," said Steven Offerein, Vice President, Device and Protection Services at CUJO AI.

The capability is being introduced to CUJO AI's operator partners now, with coverage and remediation guidance expanding as the program scales.

About CUJO AI

CUJO AI enables service providers to understand, serve, and protect consumers with advanced cybersecurity and granular network and device intelligence. The CUJO AI Intelligence platform - built on 72,000 device models and deployed across 63 million homes - gives service providers deep, continuous visibility into every connected device and network behavior from day one.

The new agent-first automation, compliance, and spend intelligence layer for enterprise card programs continuously monitors spend, resolves compliance issues autonomously, and turns card data into actionable insight.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AppZen, the leader in autonomous finance operations, today announced Autonomous Cards, an agent-first automation, compliance and spend intelligence layer that brings AI agents to the corporate card programs enterprises already use.

Commercial cards generated $2.23 trillion in U.S. purchase volume in 2024, up 4.5 percent from the prior year, according to the Nilson Report. That spend runs across purchasing, virtual, ghost, fleet, and lodge card programs, often with different issuers, data formats, policies, and control processes. Companies want to move more purchasing, supplier, and operational spend onto cards because cards reduce low-value invoice processing, speed supplier payments, improve visibility, and generate rebates. As usage expands, so does the work required to understand purchases, apply policy, collect supporting information, code and reconcile transactions, investigate risk, and identify leakage.

Companies keep their current banks, issuers, and card programs. Autonomous Cards connects to existing purchasing, virtual, fleet, ghost, and lodge cards, then continuously monitors eligible transactions with AppZen's AI Agents. These Agents understand the transaction and what was purchased, apply company policy, obtain missing context, resolve routine exceptions, maintain a complete record of every action and decision, and produce program-specific spend intelligence across the card portfolio.

"We built Autonomous Cards from the ground up by rethinking how enterprise card operations should work when AI agents are the primary workers," said Anant Kale, CEO and Co-founder of AppZen. "Our Agents continuously monitor spend, understand what was purchased, intervene when necessary, help employees and other transaction owners complete what is needed, and carry each transaction through policy, accounting, and resolution. This is not the old card workflow with AI added to it. It is a new operating model designed to make finance teams autonomous while keeping people in control of the decisions that require judgment."

The same corporate cards, now processed autonomously

Traditional card controls restrict merchants, enforce spending limits, and flag suspicious activity. Most operational work still begins after the transaction posts. Teams must determine what was purchased, establish ownership and business context, collect supporting evidence, apply policy, code the transaction, reconcile the statement, and resolve exceptions across multiple systems.

Autonomous Cards uses its finance-specific AI Agents to complete that work automatically.

- Works with existing enterprise card programs, so companies keep their current banks and cards while adding one consistent AI and compliance layer across them.

- Evaluates every eligible transaction using card data, merchant information, available Level 3 (L3) detail, supporting documents, supplier and entity context, program rules, and company policy.

- Understands what was purchased from line items and available evidence, even when the merchant alone does not reveal the nature of the spend.

- Obtains missing information or documentation from the appropriate source and follows the transaction through resolution.

- Applies company policy consistently, identifying split purchases, restricted items, duplicate or recurring charges, off-contract spend, and transactions that require more evidence.

- Resolves routine exceptions autonomously by clearing transactions, requesting information, routing decisions, or escalating cases that require human judgment.

- Codes transactions, reconciles them against card statements and systems of record, and preserves a complete decision trail for every action and outcome.

Turning card data into actionable spend intelligence

Autonomous Cards transforms raw card data into program-specific spend intelligence. The analytics distinguish who was paid from what was purchased, using merchant and spend taxonomies relevant to purchasing, virtual, ghost, fleet, and lodge card programs. Finance, procurement and card program leaders can analyze spend by program, supplier, category, entity and geography. They can identify off-contract spend, duplicate and recurring charges, restricted purchases, unowned transactions, and other leakage; uncover savings, supplier consolidation, rebate and card adoption opportunities; and measure autonomous resolution, remaining exposure, and realized value.

Leaders can see not only what was flagged, but what happened next, including what was resolved autonomously, what required additional context, what was escalated for judgment, and what remains open. This connects spend intelligence to action and makes the performance of each card program measurable.

AI Agents do the work while people handle the judgment

Autonomous Cards is built on an agent-first operating model. Its AI Agents perform continuous monitoring, context gathering, policy evaluation, follow-up, coding, and resolution across enterprise card programs. People define policy, govern the Agents, and make the decisions that require human accountability.

When context or documentation is missing, an AppZen Agent identifies the appropriate source, requests or retrieves what is needed, follows up, and tracks the transaction to completion. Program teams see status and outcomes without manually chasing each item.

When a transaction requires human review, the designated reviewer receives a complete case rather than a raw alert. Autonomous Cards assembles supporting documents, line items, policy findings, risk, prior Agent actions and transaction history, so the decision can be made without rebuilding the transaction from multiple systems.

Only exceptions that require approval or judgment are routed to people. The evidence, context, recommended action and prior Agent activity arrive already assembled, and the final decision becomes part of the audit trail.

Expanding card programs without expanding the workload

Enterprises face a trade-off in every card program. Moving more spend to cards delivers economic benefits, while each new card and transaction can add administration and risk.

With AppZen's AI Agents performing the repetitive work, monitoring eligible transactions continuously and turning card data into actionable insight, finance teams can expand card adoption while maintaining policy enforcement, explainability, and control. More spend can move to cards without a matching rise in administrative burden or exposure.

Autonomous Cards supports purchasing cards, virtual cards, ghost cards, fleet cards and centrally billed lodge cards, with specialized Agent workflows and analytics based on the card program, transaction type, and business context.

DAR GLOBAL DELIVERS 66% REVENUE GROWTH IN HY 2026 AS PORTFOLIO GDV REACHES US$23BN

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dar Global, the London-listed luxury international real estate developer, recently announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (HY 2026), reporting a 66% revenue increase to US$258.0 million (HY 2025: US$155.4 million). The performance was driven by the Group's projects and sustained demand across its diversified portfolio in the GCC, Europe, and the UK.

Gross profit rose 85% to US$87.7 million, expanding margins to 34% (from 31%). EBITDA increased 73% to US$46.3 million, while net profit surged 149% to US$30.4 million (HY 2025: US$12.2 million). Growth was anchored by revenue recognition from landmark projects, including The Astera, Interiors by Aston Martin and Neptune, Interiors by Mouawad.

Gross Development Value (GDV) nearly doubled year-on-year to US$23.0 billion, while cumulative contracted sales rose to US$3.9 billion across 4,380 units. The Group maintained a robust balance sheet with a Net Asset Value of US$613.3 million and total cash balances of US$847.9 million, including US$231.6 million in free cash, supporting total available liquidity of US$579.3 million.

In Saudi Arabia, the Group partnered with The Trump Organization in January to launch Rayana, a 2.6 million sq. m gated community in Diriyah featuring luxury mansions and a championship golf course, and later awarded a SAR 338 million (~US$90 million) infrastructure contract to Compass and Bin Omairah Company. Dar Global also unveiled Trump Plaza Jeddah (GDV US$383.6 million) and the adjacent Padel Living Residences (GDV US$142 million) within the Amaya masterplan.

In April, the Group closed a US$250 million syndicated term loan facility. In August, following the period, Dar Global appointed Gulf Asia Contracting to execute podium construction for the 80-storey, ~350-metre Trump International Hotel & Tower on Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road.

Ziad El Chaar, Chief Executive, commented: "We have delivered a resilient performance through uncertain times in the region, supported by the quality of our international portfolio. Buyer demand across our markets remained robust. Looking ahead, we remain focused on growing our GDV across both existing and new growth markets, while maintaining a disciplined focus on execution and delivery. With a strong balance sheet, disciplined capital management and a healthy project pipeline, Dar Global is well positioned to continue creating long-term value for its stakeholders."
