For the first time, researchers have utilized detailed factors such as water depth and temperature to better estimate the capacity for floating solar panels on U.S. reservoirs. Even under conservative projections, these reservoirs present enormous potential, with the ability to support projects generating up to 77,000 megawatts. (Photo: Getty Images)

The map displays all electricity generation and transmission assets in Ukraine as of February 2022, along with military attacks through 6 June 2023. In February 2022, Ukraine's mainland power system included over 1,500 generation plants across seven regional power systems, with a total capacity of 59 GW. Of this capacity, 49% came from fossil fuels (coal and/or gas), 23% from nuclear power, and the rest from solar (13%), hydropower (11%), wind (3%), and biomass/biogas (
