AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoDisaster Response: Nepal’s glacier-triggered flash floods along the Nepal–China border have killed at least 626 people, with 2,426 still missing as rescue teams struggle with mud, tunnel rescues at hydropower sites, and weather-driven pauses in helicopter operations. Hydropower Impact: The floods damaged roads, bridges and multiple hydropower projects, adding hundreds of hydropower workers to missing lists and raising fears of secondary surges from unstable upstream lakes. International Aid Shift: Nepal initially declined broad foreign search-and-rescue help, but partially reversed course to allow limited technical assistance for tunnel rescues and DNA/forensic work, while still saying general rescue can be handled domestically. Renewables on the Ground: In the U.S., Union County Electric’s solar arrays hosted a “prairie-voltaics” 4-H project, planting native wildflowers beneath panels to support pollinators. Policy Watch: The Philippines’ DOE is pushing offshore wind land acquisition via a deal with PNOC to speed permits, aiming to lift clean power to 35% by 2030 and auction 3,300 MW offshore wind by December.
