Power & Grid:
What changed in power and the grid, and why it mattered.
- 01
American Electric Power agreed to buy up to 1.6 GW of linear generators from Mainspring.
A large US utility is lining up on-site style generating capacity rather than waiting only on big plants and grid upgrades. That points to demand for fast-to-install power, which matters for utilities themselves and for makers of power equipment.

New nuclear projects moved forward on several fronts: a six-unit small reactor plant venture in Poland, US funding for molten salt reactors, and Mochovce 4 joining the grid in Slovakia.
Together these show nuclear build-out progressing from policy money to physical plants. The read-across goes to companies that supply new reactor designs and the fuel that runs them.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries delivered replacement steam generators for a French reactor.
Life-extension work on existing reactors keeps heavy equipment makers busy and supports the case for keeping current nuclear fleets running. It is routine but steady demand for the equipment side of the chain.

Schneider Electric and Eaton both filed documents this week, with Schneider publishing third-quarter revenues. ABB shares closed 3.4% lower on the day.
Electrical equipment makers are where data center and grid spending shows up in sales, so these reports are worth reading for demand signals. Weakness here has been confined to a few stocks in the group, with ABB's own results due on 2026-10-20.
