Power Outages from Wayward Balloons Can Put the Damper on Commencement Fun
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It is graduation season in California and an important reminder for the public about the safety risks associated with helium-filled metallic balloons. If your graduation celebration involves balloons, make sure they are secured with a weight. Otherwise, they can float away and come into contact with overhead power lines, causing a public safety risk.
In the first four months of 2021, metallic balloons striking electric lines have caused nearly 175 power outages in Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) service area alone, disrupting service to more than 107,000 customers. This is a 75 percent increase from the same time period last year. These power outages can interrupt electric service to critical facilities such as hospitals, schools and traffic lights.
At this time last year we were all sheltering at home and balloon-caused outages had declined significantly. As California safely returns to normal, PG&E is especially concerned about metallic balloon safety. If your celebration activities include metallic balloons, please ensure they are secured with a weight. If balloons fly away and make contact with overhead lines, they can cause widespread power outages.
Here’s a sobering example of what can happen when metallic balloons become loose and hit utility power lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jzefJfBbNA
In order to significantly reduce the number of balloon-caused outages and to help ensure that everyone can safely enjoy graduations and Father’s Day celebrations, PG&E reminds customers to follow these important safety tips for metallic balloons:

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Iraq Projects, H1 2021 - Outlook for Major Projects in Iraq - MEED Insights" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
With vast oil and gas reserves, a large, well-educated workforce, and about $376bn of major projects planned or underway, there is no doubting the huge potential of the Iraq market for anybody looking for new project opportunities in the Middle East.
The reality however is that the country's vast potential has been undermined for decades by war, insurrection and sanctions - leaving it to face major political, economic and capacity challenges.
An improvement in Iraq's security situation in 2018 following its "liberation" from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (Isis) in December 2017, combined with an improving economic outlook, gave Iraqis hope that perhaps they could look forward to a period of stability during which they could start rebuilding their country.
But the joint issues of COVID-19 and falling oil prices have created a fiscal crisis as the government struggles to meet its financial commitments. Projects have had to be delayed as Baghdad prioritises social expenditure. At the same time, crude prices around 50-60 a barrel and OPEC quotas on production have meant that the Oil Ministry has asked the various international oil companies to slow down project expenditure and pare back output, further limiting the projects market.
Like elsewhere in the region, falling state revenues have placed a greater emphasis on bringing greater private sector participation in the projects market either through public-private-partnerships (PPPs) or attracting direct foreign investment in projects.
However, the political and security situation and lack of regulations make the successful implementation of PPP projects extremely challenging no matter what the support. Instead, the projects that are more likely to proceed are those which have funding support from international development banks and funds. Recent successful major projects like the Basra refinery upgrade project are examples where direct foreign funding can provide a way forward for much needed infrastructure development in the country.

Nanosatellite-based solutions can have a direct, positive impact on climate change, sustainability, and high impact verticals in numerous industries
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#agricultureyields--A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines nanosatellite technology and discusses the ways in which it can benefit energy-intensive industries, providing recommendations for collaboration among various public and private stakeholders.
Nanosatellite constellations are being deployed and have great potential to help energy industry participants such as utilities, oil & gas (O&G) producers, and mining operators reduce their carbon footprint. Energy-intensive industries such as shipping, aviation, and agriculture can also benefit by using the inexpensive, high resolution, high frequency satellite images to improve route and fuel efficiency, improve crop yields, and reduce negative climate impact. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, companies can leverage available nanosatellite imaging and data for the development of critical sustainability applications.
“Small satellites, which include microsatellites, minisatellites, and picosatellites, can be built and launched in a very short amount of time and for a fraction of the cost compared to the larger prior generation of satellites,” says Richelle Elberg, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Where large legacy satellites could take years to deploy, nanosatellites can be developed and launched in less than a year.”
The report explains that nanosatellites provide an affordable but invaluable source of Earth observation data with which energy and high climate impact concerns can achieve sustainability goals, prevent disasters, and mitigate future environmental destruction. They also support sustainability efforts for energy providers and high climate impact verticals by predicting the weather, and can monitor the effects of climate change, improve natural resource management, aid in ocean and inland water management, and optimize agriculture yields.
The report, Nanosatellites Help Carbon-Intensive Industries Meet Sustainability Goals, addresses market drivers, barriers, and trends for each application, including case studies and emerging business opportunities. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Construction in Iran - Key Trends and Opportunities (H1 2021)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Iran's construction industry is expected to have expanded marginally by 0.7% in 2020 - down from growth of 8% in 2019.
The report expects the country's construction output to expand by 1.8% in 2021, before registering an annual average growth of 3.3% between 2022-2025.
This will be supported by investments in the energy, oil and gas, petrochemicals, infrastructure and industrial sectors. In an effort to boost the economy and improve infrastructure, the Iranian government aims to complete over 3,900kms of new railways and roads by March 2022.
The outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, coupled with the steep decline in oil and gas prices, has weighed on the Iranian economy, which was already battered by the US sanctions that curb oil and gas exports, which are crucial for government revenues. The economic weakness amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the US sanctions, coupled with the depreciation of the currency and rising inflation, further weighed on the construction industry's output last year.
As a result of the sanctions, oil revenue in the country fell from over IRR1.6 quadrillion (US$40 billion) in 2018 to less than IRR840 trillion (US$20 billion) each in 2019 and 2020, according to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI). Moreover, since early 2018, the value of the Iranian rial has fallen eight-fold, and inflation in the country has increased by at least 40% as of last year.
In a positive development, however, the change in the US administration is expected to relieve tensions between the US and Iran, as the new president of the US, Joe Biden, is in favor of returning to the Iranian nuclear deal, which was previously abandoned in 2018. Despite this optimism, there have been delays in negotiation talks, as both countries wait for the other party to fulfil certain conditions.
Moreover, in March 2021, the government announced that IRR323.2 trillion (US$6.1 billion) will be invested on 62 projects in the industrial, mining and trade-related sectors. During mid-March 2020 to mid-February 2021, the government also approved 135 foreign investments projects worth IRR96.5 trillion (US$1.8 billion) in those sectors.
