AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoSupercomputing for Finland’s research: CSC has opened Finland’s Roihu supercomputer for full researcher use after acceptance testing, tripling national computing capacity and set to replace Mahti and Puhti by summer 2026, with Roihu running on renewable hydropower and using excess heat for Kajaani district heating. Energy security: EU gas storage is forecast to hit a 15-year low ahead of winter, with facilities only about 76% full by October, as constrained LNG supply and lower hub prices fail to pull in cargoes. Critical minerals push: Finland’s Siikalatva graphite project could become a major European supply source for lithium-ion batteries, with preliminary estimates pointing to tens of millions of tonnes of mineralised rock. AI power infrastructure: VivoPower says it has selected a preferred long-term AI tenant for its Mo i Rana data centre in northern Norway, underlining how power availability is becoming the key bottleneck for AI expansion. Maritime militarisation in the Baltic: Russia’s LNG tanker Marshal Vasilevskiy has been spotted with heavy machine guns near NATO waters, raising concerns about drone threats and further militarisation of energy shipping. EU storage build-out: EU member states have backed a deal targeting at least 20% more energy storage deployment versus 2025, aiming for roughly 45 GW by 2028.
