AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoMiddle East Energy Shock: Oil and gas markets are getting hit again as the U.S. and Iran trade strikes for a 10th straight day, with Iran targeting U.S. radar and air defenses in the Gulf and attacking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz—keeping crude near $90 and pushing fresh supply-risk fears. Gas Prices at the Pump: AAA says the national regular average is back over $4.00, with drivers in some states paying more as Strait of Hormuz disruption and conflict risk feed into gasoline costs. Strategic Reserves: U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve crude stocks fell to the lowest level since 1983, underscoring how fast emergency buffers are being drawn down amid geopolitical stress. Nuclear for Power Demand: NNSA selected Amentum to negotiate a phased lease at Savannah River Site for an AI data center plus dedicated on-site energy generation—another sign of grid pressure from data centers. Clean Power Buildout: Heelstone started construction on 86 MW of new solar in Illinois with long-term PPAs to Meta, moving projects from financing into delivery. Energy Tech & Industry: Bluecore Energy raised $10M to develop small nuclear reactors on barges for ports and other constrained grid areas, while Capwell’s vent-gas capture model turns methane compliance into revenue.
