Energy IT platform company Enlighten secured a new patent for technology that improves the accuracy of solar power generation forecasting. The company registered a patent for an electronic device and method for predicting solar output, it said on Sept. 16. The technology uses both localized and global weather forecasts and applies an AI-based cross-attention method to selectively extract strengths from each. Enlighten said it achieved an error rate of around 5 percent.

Poland coal power share falls nearly 20 points in four years as renewables expand
Coal’s position in Poland’s power market is shrinking as renewable generation rises. Coal’s share of total output fell to 52.7 percent in 2025 from 72.5 percent in 2021, while renewables climbed to 31.4 percent. Gas generation also increased. Despite lower output, coal plants remain as reserve capacity to support grid stability, and high-emissions units can still join capacity auctions under EU exemptions until end-2028.

PJM to limit power supply to data centres using 50 MW or more
PJM Interconnection, the largest U.S. power grid operator, will cut electricity supply to large data centres and other big power users when power is scarce. The step followed a capacity auction aimed at adding new generation that fell short of its target. The restrictions will apply from June 2027 to data centres using 50 megawatts or more. The programme will operate like a demand response scheme and pay compensation to affected customers.
