On this episode of MarketScale’s Software and Technology podcast, host Tyler Kern was joined by Arbin Instruments International Sales Manager Richard Rogers.

Rogers and Arbin have provided testing equipment for energy storage applications large and small for over 25 years and, with a decade of experience, Rogers is uniquely qualified to highlight the ever-shifting nature of that industry and its demands.

In particular, cutting-edge innovations like electric vehicles and more have driven a need for adaptation in the testing industry that helps solutions keep paces with new challenges.

Arbin’s battery test equipment is at the forefront of the industry, creating high-precision testing methods that help researchers around the world develop new battery materials designed to stand up to the durability and longevity demands of new industries like electric vehicles and grid storage.

“Instead of a battery needing to last for (1,000-2,000) cycles and last for one or two years, like in your phone, an electric vehicle battery needs to last 10 years or more, and it might need to last tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cycles,” Rogers said. “(It’s the same for) grid storage applications.”

To help push the envelope on testing processes that shorten development time and encourage high precision, temperature management and more, Arbin teamed up with Ford Motors and Sandia National Lab to develop new, state-of-the-art testing equipment prepared for these modern challenges.

It’s a simple concept, Rogers said – not all test equipment is created equal, and Arbin is committed to exemplifying the best of the best.

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

The energy sector is planning significant investments in grid infrastructure, with $208 billion allocated for 2025 alone. Despite such investments, data centers in regions like Northern Virginia still face prolonged waits, sometimes extending up to 14 years, for grid connections. This highlights a disconnect between planned investments and actual implementation efficiency.

  • 01$208 billion planned for grid spending in 2025.
  • 02Data centers in Northern Virginia face up to 14-year waits for connections.
  • 03Infrastructure investment isn't translating into immediate capacity improvements.

Barbados energy transition stalls between dominant incumbents and alternative pathways, study finds

Barbados energy transition stalls between dominant incumbents and alternative pathways, study finds

A 2026 academic study highlights the barriers to energy transition in Barbados, where a fossil-fuel-dependent system struggles to adapt. The study examines the existing power structure and technologies that could facilitate a shift towards sustainable energy. The findings indicate a conflict between entrenched incumbents and emerging alternative energy pathways.

  • 01Barbados's energy system remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
  • 02Incumbent energy providers resist transitioning to sustainable options.
  • 03The study identifies technologies that could help transition movement.
