Bamako – September 12, 2026 -- DoGo Power has officially entered the Malian market, deploying grid-forming energy storage systems (ESS) for commercial and industrial (C&I) users and utility-scale power plants as the country's national electrification rate remains below 50%, dropping under 30% in rural areas.

Diesel supplies more than 80% of Mali's electricity, driving up costs and outages

More than 80% of Mali's power generation currently relies on diesel, a costly fuel source, while frequent blackouts tied to weak grid stability have become a major constraint on local economic development. Mali averages over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, providing a strong resource base for solar-plus-storage deployment.

Sacramento, Calif. – September 12, 2026 -- Consumer Watchdog has released a video accusing Pacific Gas & Electric of withholding $2 billion in already-funded infrastructure spending to pressure California lawmakers into approving liability relief legislation in a special session.

PG&E withholds $2 billion in ratepayer-funded upgrades pending bailout approval

The advocacy group alleges PG&E is halting infrastructure work that customers have already paid for through approved rate hikes, after the state legislature declined to grant the utility liability protections during its regular session. Former California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) President Loretta Lynch calls the move "bailout blackmail" in the video, arguing PG&E CEO Patti Poppe misrepresented the company's financial position.

New York – September 12, 2026 -- Cerberus Capital Management has sold its equity stake in Tenet Equity to CBRE Investment Management for $1.6 billion, exiting a net lease platform it built from scratch five years ago.

Montreal – September 12, 2026 -- PMET Resources Inc. has collected more than 2.5 tonnes of pollucite pegmatite from the Vega Caesium Zone (CV13) at its Shaakichiuwaanaan Property in Quebec, advancing a bulk-sampling initiative called the BerryPick program aimed at feeding downstream caesium chemical testwork.

PMET deploys large-diameter coring to cut sampling costs and speed

The company used very large diameter drill core (~30 cm) drilled through a grid of shallow holes (under 60 cm deep) across the mineralized outcrop, avoiding costlier alternatives such as blasting or PQ coring (8.5 cm). Prior testwork had relied on smaller NQ (4.8 cm) and HQ (6.4 cm) core, which supported only initial-stage programs; the larger fragments better approximate blasted run-of-mine material after crushing, a requirement for feasibility-level data.

Las Vegas – September 12, 2026 -- CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) has received conditional batch zero classification from ERCOT covering 885 MW of contracted power capacity across its two Texas sites, the company disclosed in its unaudited August 2026 operations update.

"We look forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to serve the needs of Texans while also delivering for our shareholders and customers," Schultz said.
