From jobs to operational efficiencies, we review the biggest trends that have shaped the power landscape this year. We break down the events, technologies, strategies and market movements that defined the power sector in 2025 – and what they mean for your business heading into 2026.

Wind turbines present a maintenance minefield historically navigated by in-demand experts, but robots offer efficiency and consistency outside of human ability. Experts offer insights into how automation can optimise operations and where humans are still needed.

Oil companies need to stay relevant in an increasingly electrified and decarbonised world. The Asia-Pacific region is expanding its EV charging infrastructure. The two dynamics may create a perfect match.

Many point to electrification as the backbone of decarbonisation, but when it comes to decarbonising heat, the picture is not so straightforward. Future Power Technology assesses the progress made in electrifying heat so far – heat pumps, electric furnaces, heat batteries and so on – and the counterevidence that challenges this assumption. 

Future Power Technology analyses the biggest trends in the nuclear power sector with insights from the World Nuclear Exhibition and deep dives into the engineering challenges of putting nuclear reactors on the moon.

A year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the global power industry is recalibrating to shifting US energy priorities.

As colder climates test the resilience of renewable infrastructure, hydropower operators are pioneering new ways to manage ice, flow and reservoir dynamics. This feature presents case studies of successful winter operations, showcasing real-world strategies for maintaining reliability and optimising performance in challenging seasonal conditions.

As grids expand and evolve, demand for advanced transmission and distribution equipment is surging. This analysis looks at the growth prospects for key equipment, from HVDC converter stations to smart grids, highlighting trends, challenges and investment drivers shaping the market through 2030.

From SMRs and AMRs to regulatory changes and the nuclear supply chain, Future Power Technology tackles what’s next for nuclear power across the world.

Military simulation systems are vital for the provision of increasingly realistic, risk-free training environments for global militaries, while also offering a significant reduction in costs compared to real world solutions.

Modern soldier systems integrated wearable technologies, communications systems, and protective gear to battlefield effectiveness and survivability. From electronic warfare system to prevent drone threats, to quicker and more actionable sharing of data, the humble soldier is fast becoming a critical warfare node.

Uncrewed airborne logistics offer the potential to transform military supply chains in being able to quickly deliver equipment to locations or people in need. Attritable for use in contested environments, uncrewed airborne logistics look set for greater integration into advanced militaries around the world, providing much-needed operational efficiencies. 

Advances in naval propulsion systems are driving greater speed, efficiency, and stealth features for modern warships, while providing ESG benefits in reducing environmental impact. Might hybrid or electric drive become more commonplace among the world’s navies?
