The energy industry is dealing with rising demand, more renewable generation and the need to get more from existing infrastructure. As systems become more connected, technology is changing how power is stored, data is used and assets are monitored. This edition of Energy Tech Review looks at companies and leaders addressing these challenges.
Featured on the cover is Ameresco, Inc. [NYSE: AMRC], recognized as the Top Battery Energy Storage Solutions Provider 2026. Rather than treating storage as a standalone asset, the company connects it with generation, controls, grid integration, financing and long-term operations.
Zema Global, recognized as the AI-powered Energy Decision Intelligence Solutions of the Year 2026, focuses on a basic requirement for better decisions: reliable data. Its infrastructure brings together governed data, analytics and AI, helping organizations turn incoming information into analysis they can use.
Hyper-Chute, recognized as the Top In-Stream Energy Extraction Technology 2026, is developing another way to capture energy from flowing water. Its HydroChute Water Piston Engine is designed to harness slower-moving, high-volume flows in waterways where conventional turbine systems may not be well suited.
Tri-Logic, recognized as the Top Oil And Gas Wireless Downhole Monitoring System 2026, offers a simpler way to monitor wells where conventional downhole cables can be difficult or costly to install. Its wireless system sends pressure and temperature readings to the surface through the casing, giving operators a continuous view of well conditions without downhole cables.
The edition also features Mitchell Samuelian, Co-founder and CEO of NuConsult Services, and Chris Shelton, President of AES Next at The AES Corporation, whose perspectives cover operational readiness, workforce development, AI and the changing energy system.
Together, these stories show how technology is addressing practical challenges across the energy sector. We invite you to explore the edition and the ideas shaping a more reliable and adaptable energy future.
