Summer. A time for sport, sun and recharging the batteries. Coincidentally, these three things feature heavily in June’ s magazine.

Our cover story this month looks across the Atlantic to examine the energy consumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will begin in just a matter of days.

Elsewhere, we explore the inexorable rise of solar power, while we also have a fascinating interview with Group14’ s silicon battery savant, Rick Luebbe. Inside, you’ ll also find features including:

• TotalEnergies’ controversial deal with President Trump

• Veolia’ s plan to improve the UK’ s district heating

• A profile of NVIDIA’ s Marc Spieler

We hope you enjoy the start of a long, relaxing summer, and that you enjoy this edition of Energy Digital.

JAMES DARLEY
