Avangrid Celebrates Completion of Solar Module Production at SEG Solar's New Texas Facility
'Domestic partnerships are critical to meeting rising demand, and by leveraging U.S. manufacturing, Avangrid has an opportunity to support local jobs and economic opportunity in states like Texas, while advancing a reliable energy future powered by American-made products,' said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. 'Our work with SEG Solar demonstrates not only our commitment to building out the domestic supply chain, but the benefits of investing in American energy infrastructure. We are proud to see our Tower Solar project move forward with the delivery of these modules.'
"We are thrilled to have been selected as the module supplier for the Tower Solar in Morrow County, Oregon. This 166 MW project marks the third successful collaboration between Avangrid and SEG Solar, underscoring the strong relationship between the companies,' said Logan Fang, Vice President of Key Accounts. 'SEG Solar looks forward to seeing its premium 630Wp high-efficiency Yukon N Series Solar modules installed and operational in the Pacific Northwest."
SEG Solar inaugurated its new Houston module plant last summer and began manufacturing modules for Avangrid in early 2025. The 250,000 square foot facility represented a $60 million investment in the U.S. and can achieve annual production of 2 GW.
Avangrid's Tower Solar project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2026. The facility will deliver clean, renewable energy to PGE's grid through Green Future Impact (GFI), a voluntary program designed to help large commercial, industrial, and municipal customers meet their ambitious sustainability and carbon reduction goals through the development of new clean energy facilities in our region.
Subscribers to PGE's GFI program enroll in a bundled renewable energy product and receive the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) associated with the energy generated from the new facility. PGE's subscription pricing is designed to avoid cost shifting to non-participating customers.
Construction of Tower Solar will create over 200 jobs, mostly sourced locally. The project is expected to pay about $20 million in combined PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) and property taxes which will support a variety of public services, especially schools.

Why a new UK internet safety law is causing an outcry on both sides of the Atlantic
It was well intentioned but a U.K. law mandating age verification on adult sites and a number of other platforms has sparked a backlash from both internet users in the country, and U.S. politicians and tech giants. Last month, new provisions in the Online Safety Act requiring large online platforms to implement age checks to prevent children from accessing pornographic and appropriate material came into force. The measures have led PornHub, RedTube and other porn sites to force U.K. visitors to sign up and verify their age to gain access to their services. Broadly, the Online Safety Act is a law that imposes a duty of care on social media firms and other user-generated content sites to ensure they take responsibility for harmful content uploaded and spread on their platforms. In particular, the legislation aims to prevent children from being exposed to pornographic content and material that promotes suicide, self-harm, eating disorders or abusive and hateful behaviour. The regulation has been years in the making and faced numerous delays in its development — not least due to concerns that it may infringe internet users' right to privacy and result in censorship. The latest measures have been imposed with the aim of ensuring children aren't able to view harmful and inappropriate content. However, they have led to complaints from internet users due to the requirement of having to share personal information such as their ID, credit card details and selfies — in some cases for platforms that don't even qualify as porn sites. Spotify, Reddit, X and a number of other platforms have introduced their own respective age verification systems to stop users under the age of 18 from consuming explicit content. These moves have subsequently led to providers of virtual private networks (VPNs) to report that their services, which allow users to mask their location, are surging in the U.K. Meanwhile, on Monday, Wikipedia was dealt a legal blow in the U.K. as a High Court judge ruled the platform should be treated as a "category one" service, which would subject to certain user verification requirements. The Online Safety Act requires category one platforms to offer users the ability to verify their identity and access tools that reduce their exposure to content from non-verified users. Wikimedia, the parent company of Wikipedia, has said previously that it could limit visitor numbers from the U.K. in order to exempt it from category one status. A number of U.S. politicians have blasted the new rules in recent days. Last week, Vice President JD Vance — who has previously criticized the U.K.'s internet safety rules — again raised concerns with the law, fearing it could unfairly restrict American tech companies. "I just don't want other countries to follow us down what I think was a very dark path under the Biden administration," Vance told reporters during a trip to the country last week. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who also visited the U.K. recently, said in a statement after his return that sweeping online safety laws in Europe are having "a serious chilling effect on free expression and threaten the First Amendment rights of American citizens and companies." There has been speculation over whether the U.S. may press Britain to relax the regulations during trade talks — however, U.K. officials say the issue is not open to debate. Other countries are already adopting their own respective internet age verification laws. Australia and Ireland have both passed similar age verification measures, while Denmark, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have started testing a common age verification app to protect users online. In the U.S., Louisiana passed a law in 2022 requiring age verification on websites where at least a third of the content is of an adult nature, while several other states are seeking to pass similar legislation.

Back To School: What Alan Turing Would Teach Kids In The AI Age
"A kid born today will never be smarter than AI – ever," Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, claims in the Huge Conversations podcast with Cleo Abram. Meanwhile, billions of children worldwide are heading back to school. To learn what? What do we teach children when no one knows what they need to learn? How do we prepare them for a world where AI is designed to outsmart them? Where even computer science graduates trained in developing and dealing with AI struggle to land jobs? In April 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order, 'Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth,' adding to the widespread assumption that promoting Al literacy and proficiency is the answer to what kids, educators, and anyone else aspiring to a job in the AI era needs. But the father of AI saw it differently. Back To School To Play The Imitation Game In his 1950 paper, 'Computing Machinery And Intelligence', Alan Turing not only laid the foundation for the development of the AI we know today, he also made clear which jobs AI can handle and which will always call for humans. Unlike Altman, Trump, and others who think of children, education, and human work in light of AI, Turing thought of AI in light of children, education, and human work. In fact, he literally used terms like 'child machine', 'education process', and 'human fallibility' when describing how to build 'learning machines'. And while we now ask what and how to teach children to navigate an AI world, Turing asked what and how to teach a digital computer to navigate a human world. His answer was to teach his child machine to play the so-called 'imitation game'. The imitation game, he explained, is played with three people: Turing believed that 'the question and answer method' built into the imitation game was 'suitable for introducing almost any one of the fields of human endeavour' to be included in a learning machine. But unlike the human players, Turing's child machine was not designed to play all the roles in the imitation game. In fact, AI was – and still is – only designed to play one of the three roles. Back To School To Understand AI (Player A) 'We now ask the question, 'What will happen when a machine takes the part of A in this game?' Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman?' When I first read Turing's article, I expected this question to be the first of three exploring what would happen if all the players were replaced by machines. But Turing never considered replacing player B and player C. Only A. And the more I think about it, the more brilliant I think it is. By designing AI to only replace player A, Turing didn't have to worry about whether or not machines can think (the question he opens the article with but later dismisses as 'too meaningless to deserve discussion'). All he had to do was design a machine to imitate the player who is already imitating. Just as a man pretending to be a woman will make things up when answering questions he has no knowledge of – like how it feels to have a period or give birth – Turing's child machine doesn't need to know what it's talking about in order to play the imitation game. It just has to convince its human interrogator that it does. And that's probably the first thing Turing would teach kids in the AI age: to understand the difference between knowing what you're talking about and convincing others that you do – and to see the value in and the need for humans to strive for the former. Back To School To Strive For The Truth (Player B) By designing AI only to replace player A, Turing left the roles of player B and player C to us humans. And if he were asked how to prepare children for a world where AI is designed to outsmart them, it's likely that's exactly where he would focus: on strengthening their ability to play the role of B and C in the imitation game. Surrounded by technology that is fundamentally designed to deceive, children must think of themselves as born to B) tell and help each other uncover the truth, and C) ask questions to discern and determine who and what to trust. Unlike Turing's child machine, humans are not designed or programmed to play a role in a game. They can play different roles in different games, and they can come up with games themselves (just as Turing did). The very fact that we distinguish between a game and a duty speaks volumes of human ingenuity. And although many have tried, no one has succeeded in putting this ingenuity into a formula. While World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Survey highlights analytical thinking, creative thinking, and systems thinking as core skills for employees in 2025, and others point to critical thinking, curiosity, and empathy as human skills worth optimizing, Turing focuses on something far more tangible. He compares the child-brain with a notebook as one buys it from the stationers: 'Rather little mechanism, and lots of blank sheets.' And his explanation for why it will not be possible to apply exactly the same teaching process to the machine as to a normal child is that the machine will not be provided with legs, eyes, etc. This omission of bodily features is what enables AI to speed up evolution, which is Turing's stated goal. But it is also what enables us to succeed in the AI age. The fact that we have an innate ability to understand and live by the laws of nature, while AI must be designed, programmed, and trained to do so gives us an advantage that far exceeds the thinking and social skills highlighted in surveys. And that's probably the second thing Turing would teach kids in the AI age: not to listen to people like Altman who claims kids will never be smarter than AI – but to trust their own experience and judgment to guide them in their strive for the truth. Back To School To Learn How To Ask (Player C) Teaching kids to play the role of C is a tricky one. On the one hand it is harder than teaching them how to understand AI and strive for the truth. On the other hand it is just different. In the imitation game, player C knows that one of the other players is lying, but is unaware of who. This means that C cannot trust either A or B. And that C therefore must ask questions both to determine A and B's gender, and to decide who can and cannot be trusted. However, knowing what to ask to determine if you can trust someone cannot be learned by reading a book or following a manual – which is why teaching kids to play the role of C is harder than teaching them anything else. In an AI world of misinformation, deep fakes, and hallucinations, knowing who to trust is also more important than anything else, and it is therefore worth considering if there is another way. Anyone who has spent even minimal time with children knows that they always seem to have a question they're dying to ask. So maybe there is no need to teach them? Maybe they already know what and how to ask? Maybe the tricky part is to cultivate an environment where they feel safe sharing their curiosity, doubts, skepticism, uncertainty, and wonder? To teach kids to play the role of C, educators must focus less on teaching and more on creating a space for kids to ask. Kids know what to ask to determine what can and cannot be trusted, but they only do so if they trust themselves and the 'game' they are a part of. Whether it's the game of school or the game of society, the rules that shape our lives need to be designed so that we feel safe sharing our questions. And that is probably the third thing Turing would teach kids in the AI age: that the rules, structures, systems and technologies that shape their lives could be different – that, unlike their bodily features, they are not laws of nature and therefore can and should be challenged – and that the more someone or something presents itself as right, good or true, the more they must ask themselves and each other why that is: Why does Sam Altman feel the need to say that a kid born today will never be smarter than AI? Who is he trying to convince? What rules, structures, systems and technologies shape his life? And how do they promote or prevent the life we want for ourselves? Turing reminds us that while AI's job is to play the role of A, our job is to play all the roles in the imitation game. But more importantly, he reminds us that we have what it takes to switch between them. We can pretend that we know something that we don't (like what will outsmart who in the future). But we can also trust our own experience and innate human ability to learn and grow. And we can ask the questions that help us distinguish and determine what is right/wrong, true/false, good/bad. Most of us do all of this without even noticing. And maybe that's what kids should head back to school to learn: that just because something isn't noticed, surveyed, or programmed, doesn't mean it's about to be outsmarted by AI.

Inside the chopper that NATO warships lean on to find Russian submarines
Business Insider traveled with the Dutch Navy in the Arctic region to witness NATO operations. A reporter flew on the European-made NH90 helicopter, which specializes in anti-submarine warfare. This small aircraft is highly suited for missions in the Arctic, where NATO monitors Russian subs. ABOVE THE NORWEGIAN SEA — The sleek, gray NH90 helicopter cut through the brisk Arctic air, leaving the jagged coastal mountains and fjords behind. From above, the frigid blue waters below showed no signs of life. The helicopter wasn't on the hunt when Business Insider flew from Tromsø, Norway, out to the Royal Netherlands Navy frigate HNLMS De Ruyter, but it's built for that mission. Had a Russian submarine been lurking below the surface, as they often do in this remote part of the world, the helicopter could have employed its powerful dipping sonar and other advanced — and secretive — equipment to find the hidden boat. The flight out to the Dutch frigate, the lead ship of Standing NATO Maritime Group 1, as it was conducting operations in the Norwegian Sea, was merely an airport transfer; however, the NH90 plays an integral role in anti-submarine warfare, one of the standing group's key missions in this latest deployment. Several of De Ruyter's crew members described the helicopter as essential to its sub-hunting capabilities. "It's a fantastic asset," British Lt. Cdr. Michael Royle, the staff anti-submarine warfare officer aboard De Ruyter, said of the NH-90. He described the helicopter as a valuable "force multiplier." 'A big addition' to the warship The NHIndustries NH90 is a twin-engine multirole helicopter made by a consortium of European companies and is in service with nine NATO militaries, including the Netherlands. Although they aren't members of the alliance, Oman, Qatar, and New Zealand also operate the aircraft. The NH90 was developed to satisfy NATO's need for a helicopter that could operate in naval environments. Since the aircraft made its first flight in the mid-1990s, over 500 of them have been built in two variants — an army transport version and another that can be embarked on frigates like the De Ruyter. One of the NH90's main mission sets is anti-submarine warfare. It is equipped with dipping sonar — a deployable underwater sensor that emits pulses and analyzes echoes — and expendable sonar buoys, which rely on acoustic sensors to track submarines and potential threats underwater. The helicopter is relatively spacious. Two pilots sat in the cockpit, while a third crew member sat in the back. At one point, as the aircraft approached De Ruyter, he slid open the door, giving way to a blast of Arctic breeze. The NH90 is full of sensitive equipment, so much so that Business Insider was not permitted to take photographs of the interior. Royle said that the sonar system can be dropped into the sea at "a big depth;" he declined to say how deep. "That allows you to exploit the water column in order to get the massive ranges for sonars to be able to potentially detect submarines." Dutch Cpl. Duncan, a NH90 maintainer with the De Ruyter who was only authorized to use his rank and first name for security reasons, told Business Insider that by deploying both the sonar and the buoys, "you can determine the exact spot and triangulate where something — or someone — could be." The NH90 helicopter can also operate in bad visibility, which can be a challenge in the Arctic region, making it an important tool in countering Russia's submarine force. Russia fields one of the largest submarine fleets in the world, with an estimated 64 active boats. Dozens of boats belong to its Northern Fleet, based in the Murmansk region along the Barents Sea. To get to the Atlantic and Mediterranean as quickly as possible, they have to sail through the Arctic and head west around the northern tip of Norway, through the waters where Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 was operating last week. In recent years, top Western military officers have drawn attention to growing Russian submarine and naval activity in the Atlantic, among other waterways. There is also increasing concern in Europe about damage to critical underwater infrastructure; in January, NATO deployed military forces to the Baltic Sea to respond to sabotage incidents. Commodore Arjen Warnaar, the Dutch commander of the Standing NATO Maritime Group, told Business Insider that countering submarines is one of the De Ruyter's main tasks on its current Arctic deployment. "One of the main reasons for me to be here is to increase our readiness. So that's basically what we've been doing up north," he said. "We've been exercising all kinds of different operations," Warnaar explained. "Surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare — just basic picture compilation, replenishment, logistics are important. And at the same time, we've been having a good look around." NATO forces operate several other aircraft equipped to track down Russian submarines, such as Boeing's P-8 Poseidon or Lockheed's P-3 Orion. These planes, while well-equipped, are less flexible than helicopters like the SH-60 Seahawk or NH90 because they operate from airfields rather than ships at sea, limiting time on site. Cpl. Duncan called the helicopter "a big addition" to De Ruyter because it can extend the range of the warship's anti-submarine warfare capabilities. "The range extension of the sonar is an important aspect because of the abilities of detecting, seeing, and determining if there are any contacts on the water," he explained, adding that the helicopter can clear water columns of potential threats — also known as sanitizing the area — before the ship moves into the space. Adm. Stuart Munsch, the commander of US Naval Forces Europe-Africa, previously told Business Insider that anti-submarine warfare is one of the hardest missions to execute in naval operations. However, he said NATO forces have become increasingly proficient at this task in the Atlantic Ocean and in the High North region.
