A company that specializes in autonomous power deployment said it has raised $31.8 million to scale its operations, with investments from major groups including Google and Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV). California-based Planted said the new capital expands its robotic fleet. The company said the funding also supports the launch of Sage, its next-generation robot, as demand outpaces the company's current capacity.Planted on September 15 said the funding round was led by Piva Capital and RA Capital Management Planetary Health, with participation from Gigascale Capital and Open AI-backer Khosla Ventures, along with Google and BEV. Gigascale Capital was founded by former Meta executive Mike Schroepfer."Globally, solar needs to be deployed about five times faster than it is today to hit the scale experts project we'll need by 2050, and the gap is growing as the industry confronts constraints involving supply chains, land, interconnection, and skilled labor," said Eric Brown, CEO of Planted. "The way to close that gap is to turn the construction of a power plant into a manufacturing problem: building robots and deployment systems, not just projects. We have robots in the field proving the model works today. This round is how we scale it."
Brown's group on Tuesday said a record 664 GW of solar photovoltaic power was installed worldwide last year, but noted terawatts of new generation capacity are needed to meet projected demand. The company said it combines planning software, high-density terrain-following solar arrays, storage, and field robotics into one system, which enables Planted to build on parcels of land that legacy trackers cannot use. The company said its system also delivers twice the energy per acre, resulting in smaller project footprints and a lower profile on the landscape.Planted said its array "is simplified, designed for automation, and defined in software," and thus can deliver new power generation capacity in months rather than years. Planted's most recent build, a 28-MW behind-the-meter project serving a neocloud data center, went from first call to power in 10 months, with field construction completed in under three months.Planted on Tuesday said the company's development model "is proven and bankable," and noted its projects carry independent engineering validation and project financing. The company completed Bowes Solar, an 11-MW project in Illinois for Cultivate Power, and will next build Aligned Climate Capital's Armoracia project on 16 acres, 10 fewer than the original design required. The denser redesign moved the project through local review after the initial layout was rejected, according to the company. Planted, which deployed more than 10 MW in 2025, is on track for 100 MW in 2026, a 10x jump in a single year, with a project pipeline of more than 20 GW.The company said Sage, the next-generation robot, will be deployed later this year.

Data centers will need a lot more electricity. That's the takeaway from Goldman Sachs research published Sept. 1, 2026, which estimates U.S. data center power demand could approach 108 gigawatts by 2030.
That surge creates opportunities not only for utilities that deliver power to the grid, like American Electric Power (NASDAQ: AEP), but also for companies that manage power and heat inside the data center, like Vertiv (NYSE: VRT). Here's how these industrials stocks can help you profit from the artificial intelligence (AI) power boom.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
American Electric Power is one of the country's leading utilities, serving millions of customers across 11 states. It also operates the largest transmission network, which puts it in a prime spot to capture rising demand from data centers for more high-voltage lines and additional power supply.
AEP now has 69 gigawatts of contracted load additions through 2030, up from 63 gigawatts disclosed in the first quarter. That increase highlights growing customer commitments and supports the case that data center demand is durable.

Big Tech is betting trillions of dollars on artificial intelligence, with a lot of that to be spent on building the data centers that would power large language models. Stock markets are reflecting this in Big Tech stocks, but that's not the only industry riding the artificial intelligence wave. Because that wave runs on electricity and the equipment that brings it from generator to consumer.
There have been reports about a chip shortage caused by the AI rush, and higher compute prices overall resulting from AI-related demand growth in electronics. But a more serious shortage is unfolding in power equipment, as the companies pledging hundreds of billions in AI investments want everything ready yesterday if possible. Alas, it is not.
Transformers, a vital component of the grid, have been in increasingly short supply for at least two years. The shortage has been driven by the fast growth in electricity demand, mostly coming from the tech sector, and the inability to respond to that growth with equally fast grid expansion.
Related: Europe's Low Gas Stocks Set Stage for Winter LNG Battle
Transformers are used to convert the high-voltage electricity that runs from power plants to substations along transmission lines to a lower-voltage electric current that can be used by end consumers, including data centers. According to Wood Mackenzie, the shortfall in transformers this year is 15%. Yet there is also a shortage of substations, highlighting the essential nature of power equipment. Per Wood Mackenzie estimates, the substation deficit is 8%. This situation will be aggravated further by a recent executive order by President Trump that banned imports of bulk power equipment from China.

John Travolta and Priscilla Presley were spotted spending time together months after a court filing made wild claims about just how close their famous families might be connected.
The Grease star, 72, and Priscilla, 81, were photographed chatting at the Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 30.
The two appeared to be lost in conversation as they mingled at the event, which was also attended by Travis Barker, Billy Idol, Fred Armisen and more.
Their reunion came months after legal documents claimed Priscilla's granddaughter Riley Keough donated the egg used by Travolta's late wife, Kelly Preston, to conceive their son Ben.

John Travolta commanded attention as he made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles on Sunday night, looking worlds away from the clean-cut image that made him a Hollywood heartthrob.
The 72-year-old Grease icon showed off a full salt-and-pepper beard as he hosted the Official Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on August 30.
John embraced the evening's punk aesthetic in an all-black ensemble comprising skinny jeans, a Ramones T-shirt and a classic leather biker jacket.
But it was his accessories that really transformed his appearance, with the actor adding round dark sunglasses and a deep red beret. The distinctive headwear has become something of a signature for John in recent months, with the star previously turning heads in a cream version at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Berets have recently become John Travolta's signature look as the Grease star was spotted rocking another one at the Ramones 50th anniversary tribute.
Travolta, 72, took to the stage at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Sunday, August 30, with Linda Ramone — the widow of the late Johnny Ramone — while wearing a red beret, a leather biker jacket, round sunglasses and, naturally, a Ramones tee.
"Two years ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing the Hollywood Forever Johnny Ramone Tribute for the first time. It was a blast, and I want to return again for the Ramones tribute! With showing something new, my directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach. And something old, the 50th anniversary of [the] original Carrie. It is going to be a fun night. See you there," he said in a statement, per Daily Mail.
The bold fashion choice came three months after the Hairspray actor debuted a similar white beret on the red carpet at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in May.
"I love it," he told People when asked about the headwear in New York on May 21. "Once Vogue and Harper's Bazaar voted me the best dressed at Cannes, I went, 'Okay, we've arrived.'"

Diana, Princess of Wales, is known for many things, from her philanthropy and very public marriage to and split from the now King Charles III to her motherhood with William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and tragic death nearly 30 years ago, on Aug. 31, 1997. In addition to her many accomplishments, life events and milestones, though, Princess Diana is also forever known for her sense of fashion that garnered considerable attention throughout her life and has continued to make her a fashion icon today.
Even among Diana fans and royal watchers, many of her most famous looks have only been seen on TV, on the covers of magazines or in old photographs, but now, a brand-new exhibit coming to the United States this year will allow guests to get an up-close look in person at some of the late princess's most celebrated items. The exhibit, ***** led "Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving," will open at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation's Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Nov. 7 and will feature more than 700 artifacts from Princess Diana's life.
Among the items to be on display are Princess Diana's beloved "black sheep" sweater, the long black gown she wore when dancing with John Travolta, her wedding slippers and her "final goodbye" dress—the final gown she tried on before her death, revealed to the public for the first time—among many others.
In addition to these items of clothing, this exhibit will feature various handbags, shoes, jewelry, historical documents, handwritten letters, myriad personal possessions and more. Certain artifacts will be exclusive to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, but the "Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving" exhibit will go on tour elsewhere after departing The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on May 31, 2027. Tickets for the exhibit can be purchased on the Ronald Reagan Foundation website and are available now.

Santa Cruz depends only on itself to advance to the next stage in Série CCredits: Savyo Miguel / Santa Cruz
The final round of the first phase of Brazil's Série C will feature all ten matches this Saturday (29), all kicking off at 5 p.m. Every game still has something at stake: from qualification for the second phase for the top eight teams to the battle against relegation.
So far, Brusque, Botafogo-PB, Paysandu, and Inter de Limeira have already secured places in the next phase. At the bottom of the table, Confiança has already been relegated to Série D in 2027.
Itabaiana, Barra, and Anápolis are fighting to avoid the drop. This year, only two teams will be relegated to the Fourth Division.
Volta Redonda and Ituano are the only teams with nothing left to play for in the final round of Série C: they can no longer finish in the top eight and are safe from the bottom two.

On August 21, CNBC reported that according to notices published by Tesla and China's State Administration for Market Regulation, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is voluntarily recalling about 3 million vehicles in China over two separate issues: door handles that can fail to open after severe crashes and deficient driver "attention monitoring" systems.
The door handle flaw related to a low-voltage system failure after collisions is part of a broader industry action. It covers roughly 4.3 million vehicles across nine automakers, the largest such recall in China's history, Bloomberg reported.
Tesla's fix will use an over-the-air software update to automatically lower windows after a crash, plus warning labels, rather than a hardware redesign. The recall covers Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles built between 2019 and 2026.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s remedy is cheap and fast compared with a typical hardware recall. The company is addressing the door handle issue with an over-the-air software update and physical warning labels rather than a parts replacement. It means most affected owners never need a service appointment. That keeps the direct cost and logistical burden of this recall far lower than recalls requiring in-person repairs.
Tesla was not singled out as uniquely unsafe. Eight other automakers in China also issued voluntary recalls to deal with door handle safety the same day, showing this is an industry-wide design and regulatory issue rather than a Tesla-specific failure. That context matters for how much reputational damage the recall actually does relative to competitors facing the same scrutiny.

Tesla's fix will use an over-the-air software update to automatically lower windows after a crash, plus warning labels, rather than a hardware redesign. The recall covers Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles built between 2019 and 2026.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s remedy is cheap and fast compared with a typical hardware recall. The company is addressing the door handle issue with an over-the-air software update and physical warning labels rather than a parts replacement. It means most affected owners never need a service appointment. That keeps the direct cost and logistical burden of this recall far lower than recalls requiring in-person repairs.
Tesla was not singled out as uniquely unsafe. Eight other automakers in China also issued voluntary recalls to deal with door handle safety the same day, showing this is an industry-wide design and regulatory issue rather than a Tesla-specific failure. That context matters for how much reputational damage the recall actually does relative to competitors facing the same scrutiny.

Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (NVTS) has entered the spotlight with a major acquisition. On Monday, Aug. 24, the power chip innovator signed a definitive agreement to acquire Claros, which develops vertical power delivery (VPD) and integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
The acquisition, which values Claros at $232.8 million, strengthens Navitas' position by adding a missing link between power generation and the processor. The company already leads with next-generation GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, and Claros would deliver power directly to the chip, completing Navitas' "grid to xPU" portfolio for AI data center infrastructure.

Greenlight Capital is an investment management firm specializing in value-oriented strategies. The letter can be downloaded here. Greenlight Capital released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, reporting a 4.3% decline for the Partnerships and a 1.9% year-to-date gain, net of fees and expenses, compared with gains of 15.2% and 10.2% for the S&P 500 Index. The funds entered the quarter conservatively, but costly trading decisions and macro positions, particularly in gold and U.S. interest rates, weighed on results. Long positions contributed roughly 9%, offset by similar losses from shorts. The letter also highlighted concerns over speculative market conditions, using ******* eX's $1.75 trillion IPO valuation and investment-grade rating as examples of excess. Looking ahead, Greenlight is more constructive on Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's inflation stance and expects positions to recover if inflation moderates and rates remain unchanged. Additionally, reviewing the Strategy's top holdings could help identify its best ideas for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Greenlight Capital highlighted Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT). Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) is an automotive wire harnesses distributor that designs, manufactures, and distributes low- and high-voltage power electrical architectures. On August 26, 2026, Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) closed at $47.36 per share. Over the past month, Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) returned 15.35%, and its shares have gained 9.07% over the past 3 months. Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) has a market capitalization of $3.49 billion, and its stock has traded within a 52-week range of $26.34 to $50.89.
Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Versigent PLC (NYSE:VGNT) is a leading supplier of automotive wire harnesses that recently spun out of Aptiv (APTV). Although the business was viewed as a lower-growth, lower-margin part of APTV's portfolio, we believe VGNT is a high-quality supplier. Its business should benefit from the shift toward hybrid and battery-electric vehicles, which require significantly more of the company's products than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. VGNT also has a durable customer base, as its products are deeply embedded in customers' platform design and engineering. Post-spin, management has opportunities to improve margins through automation while further diversifying the business in commercial vehicles and non-automotive applications. By the end of 2028, VGNT is targeting $1 billion of ******* ulative free cash flow, or approximately one-third of its current market capitalization, with the majority expected to be returned to shareholders through buybacks. We acquired our shares at an average price of $29.20, or approximately 4x this year's expected earnings. VGNT ended the quarter at $42.01."

Britain's Josh Tarling finished third in the opening stage of the Vuelta a Espana - just eight days after his brother Finlay lost his life in a crash.
The 22-year-old Netcompany Ineos rider decided himself to take part in the three-week Grand Tour and was rewarded with a strong performance on a tight and technical course around the principality of Monaco.
Fin, 19, died in a high-speed collision with a van which had strayed on to the road during the eighth stage of the Volta a Portugal last Friday.
UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider Tadej Pogacar, the overwhelming favourite for overall victory, won the stage by just nine hundredths of a second from another Briton, Ethan Hayter of Soudal-Quick Step.
Tarling was just four seconds down on Pogacar.

Chad Dillard of Bernstein said in a recent program on CNBC that Quanta Services (NYSE:PWR) is an "800-pound gorilla" in high-voltage transmission lines. He was responding to a CNBC host who asked him to discuss "AI plays in disguise" beyond the major names everyone is aware of.
"I think we need to focus on what the bottlenecks are, right? It's power and labor," Dillard said. "On the power side, like you just said, you know, Caterpillar, it's an obvious one, power generation. But there's also another way to improve power, and that's by raising the voltage. And I'm talking about high voltage transmission lines. I'm talking about raising the voltage in data centers. ( Quanta Services) They're an 800-lb gorilla basically in the room."
Quanta Services (NYSE:PWR) can benefit from the coming wave of AI-related power demand because it's one of the few companies big enough to do the actual building when utilities spend money to expand and upgrade the grid. Quanta makes money by constructing the power lines, substations, and grid infrastructure the US needs, work that puts it right in the middle of the buildout.
In the recent quarter, revenue jumped about 40% year over year, and the company raised its full-year guidance for revenue, earnings per share, and cash flow.
Bulls also point to Quanta's recent acquisitions: Phalcon, Enerfab, Percheron, and PSD. Quanta expects these deals to add roughly 3 to 4% to its revenue in 2026. The bull case is that these purchases add skilled workers, fabrication capacity, and permitting support, giving Quanta more control over the bottlenecks that slow projects down.

Riders are risking their lives in races where organisers battle huge costs, and cycling's world governing body the UCI "cannot keep traffic off the roads", according to former rider and team boss Jonathan Vaughters.
Britain's Fin Tarling, 19, died during the Volta a Portugal on Friday following a high-speed collision with a van which had strayed on to the closed road.
A Go Fund Me page to promote young cycling talent has been set up in memory of Tarling, who rode for the NSN Cycling Development Team and was brother to Netcompany-Ineos' Josh Tarling.
Vaughters, who is co-founder and boss of the EF Education-Easypost World Tour team told BBC Sport: "What I'm really not enjoying is this sentiment that's coming from very powerful people in cycling, that says: 'What can you do? Sometimes cars just end up on the road - this is just part of doing competitive sport on the open road.' That is not true. This is preventable."
He added: "People look at the Tour de France and see a bunch of riders going through the beautiful French countryside, but fundamentally it's a very dangerous sport. From the start of my career I can't tell you how many people we've lost."

Varex Imaging Corporation (NASDAQ:VREX) surged 48.5% to $18.42 on August 10 after Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) agreed to acquire the X-ray technology company for $18.90 per share in cash. The offer represents a 52% premium to Varex's unaffected closing price and values the transaction at approximately $1.1 billion, including equity awards and net debt.
Teledyne shares slipped just 0.15%, suggesting investors did not view the premium as an immediate threat to shareholder value. Varex closed about 2.5% below the offer, representing approximately 2.6% upside to the deal price. The narrow spread shifts the debate from whether Varex Imaging Corporation (NASDAQ:VREX) was undervalued to whether Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) can earn an adequate return.
The strategic fit is visible. Varex Imaging Corporation (NASDAQ:VREX) fills specific gaps in Teledyne's imaging portfolio. Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) has cited anticipated synergies but has not quantified them or disclosed expected EPS accretion or return targets.
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) is not paying primarily for Varex's current growth rate. It is acquiring technologies and customer relationships that could deepen its position across medical, security, and industrial imaging.
Varex produces X-ray tubes, flat-panel detectors, photon-counting detectors, high-voltage interconnects, and imaging software used by equipment manufacturers. These components support medical diagnostic systems, oncology equipment, cargo inspection, vehicle scanning, and industrial quality control.

Baron Capital, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for the "Baron Discovery Fund". A copy of the letter is available to download here. Baron Discovery Fund appreciated by 19.08% (Institutional Shares) in the quarter, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which gained 25.71%. This lag was primarily due to a momentum-driven "AI winners" trade, with these stocks largely contributing to the Benchmark's performance. The Fund experienced a 6.63% underperformance, largely driven by an underweight in strong-performing Momentum and Beta factors. The Fund prioritizes a long-term balanced portfolio over chasing momentum. The letter discussed parallels between the current AI market and the late 1990s dot-com bubble. The firm remains focused on company fundamentals and long-term valuation. Please review the fund's top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Baron Discovery Fund highlighted Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) as a leading contributor to performance. Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) is a leading industrial company that designs and manufactures electrical distribution equipment used in data centers, the power grid, and energy-intensive industrial facilities. On August 10, 2026, Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) closed at $37.60 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $11.45 billion. Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) posted a one-month return of -6.12%.
Baron Discovery Fund stated the following regarding Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) is a leading manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment used in data centers, the power grid, and industrial applications. Forgent is a low- and medium voltage equipment specialist focused on custom, "engineered-to order" products (over 90% of revenue) whereas larger competitors in the industry generally focus more on higher voltage and standard products. The stock rose during the quarter as Forgent continued to deliver very strong financial results reflecting improving demand for its products amidst the broader data points on AI infrastructure and grid buildout continuing to point to strong growth for the next several years. Forgent is gaining share with its ability to offer customized products at industry-leading lead times and is still just scratching the surface of its opportunity having sold very little directly to the biggest customers in the market. The company has invested heavily in capacity and people to support future growth, and we see many strong years of growth and margin expansion ahead as it grows from an approximate $1.2 billion revenue run rate currently into its $5 billion manufacturing footprint."

Forgent is a low- and medium voltage equipment specialist focused on custom, "engineered-to order" products (over 90% of revenue) whereas larger competitors in the industry generally focus more on higher voltage and standard products. The stock rose during the quarter as Forgent continued to deliver very strong financial results reflecting improving demand for its products amidst the broader data points on AI infrastructure and grid buildout continuing to point to strong growth for the next several years. Forgent is gaining share with its ability to offer customized products at industry-leading lead times and is still just scratching the surface of its opportunity having sold very little directly to the biggest customers in the market. The company has invested heavily in capacity and people to support future growth, and we see many strong years of growth and margin expansion ahead as it grows from an approximate $1.2 billion revenue run rate currently into its $5 billion manufacturing footprint."
