Picture this: A snowstorm knocks out power in Toronto, but your Netflix binge continues uninterrupted. Behind that miracle? Rows of GPL12V 100Ah VRLA gel batteries humming in telecom basements. These sealed warriors keep 5G towers alive longer than your last relationship – we're talking 8-10 years of faithful service without a single coffee break.
California's 800MW solar field runs on sunshine by day and 12V 100Ah gel batteries by night. Their party trick? Handling 80% depth-of-discharge daily – the energy equivalent of running ultramarathons back-to-back.

When Hong Kong's stock exchange servers blinked during Typhoon Kompasu, the VRLA gel battery array delivered 47 minutes of uptime – enough to prevent a $2B trading disaster. Not bad for something that looks like a plastic lunchbox.
These batteries are the houseplants of the energy world – set them up and basically forget they exist. No watering (acid refills), no pruning (equalization charges), just pure lazy-owner compatibility.
Sure, you could buy three AGMs for the price of one GPL12V gel battery. But when your desert camping trip turns into a "Naked and Afraid" audition, that 5,000-cycle lifespan starts looking real sexy.
From Beijing data centers to Alaskan fishing boats, these gel-packed workhorses prove that sometimes the best technology isn't flashy – it's just reliably there when the lights go out. Now if only we could get them to fix our Wi-Fi...

The government’s recently adopted ‘Ukraine Plan’ foresees 0.7 gigawatts (GW) of extra solar capacity coming online by 2027.. A Russian missile attack recently targeted one of the company’s solar farms, but the damage was quickly repaired, as solar panels are much easier to fix and replace than power plants.. The World Bank is financing a tender to equip state-owned hydroelectric power plants in Ukraine with battery energy storage systems (BESS), amid reports of massive damage to the country’s grid and generation fleet.. The firm signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE) to provide the country with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells from its Norway gigafactory to help it maintain stable power.

The Zaporizhzhia plant in southwest Ukraine, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, was occupied by Russian troops and hasn’t supplied electricity since September 2022. However, a further three nuclear power plants with seven reactors between them remain operational in the east and south and continue to supply Ukraine with electricity.
The war against Ukraine has led to massive destruction of the energy infrastructure. One consequence of this is blackouts in cities. In the future, renewables such as wind and solar power could form the backbone of Ukraine’s electricity system. (Image: Oleksii Maznychenko / Adobe Stock)
That is about 1.7 gigawatts (GW) worth of wind turbines behind Russian lines, including the largest wind farm in the country, near Zaporizhzhya. For solar power, the picture is similarly dark. The two largest solar plants in the country are in occupied parts of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, nearly 600 megawatts of capacity sitting derelict.
They have determined that solar and wind energy would quickly deliver a distributed power supply system and prevent corruption. The war against Ukraine has led to massive destruction of the energy infrastructure. One consequence of this is blackouts in cities.
Some 13% of Ukraine’s solar generation capacity is in territories controlled by Russian forces while around 8% is considered damaged or completely destroyed. This is according to reports from Oleksiy Orzhel, the recently appointed chairman of the Ukrainian Renewable Energy Association, who has cited official statistical data.
This technical potential is enormous. The researchers estimate that the potential for wind energy is around 180 gigawatts, while for solar energy it’s around 39 gigawatts. A total capacity of 219 gigawatts would vastly exceed the generation capacity of 59 gigawatts that Ukraine had at the start of the war.
