Grants aim to support innovative strategies in postpartum care and maternal mental health in underserved and vulnerable communities

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fidelis Care, a statewide health plan with more than 2.4 million members in New York State and a Centene Corporation company, has opened the application process for its 2025 maternal health grant program. The grants, open to healthcare providers and community-based organizations in New York, aim to fund programs that support innovative strategies in postpartum care and maternal mental health. The application is available at fideliscare.org/maternal-grant. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. July 8, 2025.  

Postpartum care and maternal mental health are critical components of long-term health and well-being for new mothers and their families. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) says mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety, are among the most common complications of pregnancy, affecting an estimated one in five individuals annually in the United States. Postpartum care attendance is inconsistent, with mean attendance rates in the U.S. around 72%, and even lower among the most vulnerable populations, such as those served by Federally Qualified Health Centers, where non-attendance can reach 43%. Access to health insurance has been associated with higher postpartum visit attendance, which is essential for screening and addressing both physical and mental health needs after childbirth. 

“As a healthcare community, we must recognize that supporting mothers after childbirth is just as vital as caring for them during pregnancy,” said Fidelis Care Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vincent Marchello. “Ensuring access to postpartum care and mental health services not only improves the well-being of mothers but also strengthens families and communities as a whole.”

Fidelis Care plans to announce the recipients of its 2025 maternal health grants in August.

A new short film from BlueWave spotlights how agrivoltaics is powering the future of U.S. farmland.

BOSTON, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the U.S. works toward greater energy independence and economic security, a quiet revolution is taking root on farmlands across the country: agrivoltaics. Farmers are navigating a tough and constantly evolving landscape, with mounting challenges and declining profits. Agrivoltaics charts a new path forward – one where farmers can stay rooted on their land, diversify their income, and continue feeding their communities for generations to come.

BlueWave, a leading solar developer, owner, and operator in the Northeast U.S., is proving just how powerful this model can be and setting the standard for how solar should be done.

Two such sites in Palmer and Dighton, operational since 2023, have a combined 5.7 MWDC energy output across 34 acres. Today, the land is home to solar arrays, crops, and livestock, all existing symbiotically. BlueWave has partnered with the Roberts and Cabral families to keep their farmland in agricultural use while helping secure their financial futures.

“We were approached by several solar companies that wanted to use the land solely for energy development,” said Tom Roberts of Burgundy Brook Farm. “But partnering with BlueWave meant we didn’t have to make that kind of sacrifice. Instead, we’ve been able to keep the land in active use. Solar was introduced as an added benefit, not as a replacement. It’s helped us preserve the farm for future generations, and I hope our story shows that solar can support both agriculture and energy needs.”

As a certified B Corp, BlueWave is committed to using its business as a force for good, developing renewable energy solutions that prioritize people, the planet, and long-term impact. BlueWave’s approach to dual-use solar development goes beyond clean energy generation: it’s rooted in collaboration with farmers, landowners, and local communities to ensure projects meet both environmental and agricultural goals. By integrating sustainable land management practices, BlueWave creates solar sites that are truly multi-functional. These projects offer landowners and farmers an additional source of income, bring greater economic stability, and help preserve land for years to come.

“As a farmer myself, I have a deep appreciation for the work it takes to keep land productive and families rooted in agriculture,” said BlueWave Director of Sustainable Development Jesse Robertson-DuBois. “That’s why we approach every project as a partnership, ensuring that clean energy development doesn’t come at the cost of viable farmland, but instead helps secure its future.”

SEVILLE, Spain, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global technical engineering consultancy Enertis Applus+ has released a comprehensive analysis of a 47MW single-axis tracker PV project in Seville, Spain, comparing the commercial performance of back-contact (BC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technologies. Energy Yield Assessments (EYA) were conducted based on module data provided by LONGi. The results confirm that LONGi’s HPBC2.0 modules Hi-MO 9 significantly outperform TOPCon alternatives in power generation efficiency, cost control, and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), providing robust technical validation for utility-scale solar deployments worldwide. 

Key Findings:

• 3.4% Higher Energy Yield per Watt: Hi-MO 9 generated 2,209 hours of first-year operation – 2.4%-3.4% more than TOPCon equivalents, directly increasing project revenue. 
• Cost Parity Despite Premium Pricing: With Hi-MO 9 priced just 0.7¢/W higher than TOPCon, total CAPEX remained comparable through optimized system design and cost structures. 

 

 

• Industry-Leading LCOE Reduction: Hi-MO 9 achieved an LCOE of €0.02706/kWh – 3.92-4.47% lower than TOPCon modules. Cost advantages stem from: Reduced fixed cost allocation per unit energy via higher yield; Variable cost compression through enhanced tracker compatibility and reduced electrical losses. 

 

The study confirms BC technology’s unique capacity to maximize lifetime return on investment through synergistic “efficiency gains + cost control” effects. By significantly lowering electricity production costs, Hi-MO 9 enables solar assets to compete more effectively in global energy markets while accelerating decarbonization efforts.

GUANGZHOU, China, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Heungkong Group, Panasonic Electric, and Tantron Technology have announced the mid-stage outcomes of their collaborative innovation, the “8 Constants+ Forest Environment System,” on World Environment Day, June 5, 2025. This pioneering solution signifies a significant advancement at the intersection of smart environmental control, ecological science, and human well-being, setting a new benchmark for sustainable development.

As the world’s first intelligent indoor regulation system modeled on forest ecosystem dynamics, the 8 Constants + Forest Environment System applies the principles of environmental bionics to recreate a forest-like indoor environment. The system operates through eight core elements: constant temperature, humidity, oxygen level, cleanliness, quietness, airflow, intelligence, and control.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and former European Council President and ex-Prime Minister of Sweden, John Fredrik Reinfeldt, delivered congratulatory video messages for the occasion. Mr. Hatoyama said, “Environmental challenges have become a critical global issue and we are making every effort to address it. This collaboration harnesses the technical strengths of China and Japan to create a new-generation atmospheric platform—a powerful example of bilateral innovation. We are confident that this advancement will support smarter, healthier, and more comfortable living environments for people in the two countries and beyond.”

Mr. Reinfeldt commended the milestone, stating that healthy indoor environments are a global priority and that the system sets an exemplary standard for indoor environmental enhancement worldwide.

Experts in green technology, environmental systems, and health-focused architecture also commended the platform for its technical achievements.

All-China Environment Federation chairman Wang Xiufeng commented, “The 8 Constants + Forest Environment System provides an intelligent ecological solution to address human health challenges. It demonstrates how advanced technologies can drive the shift toward sustainable living, while reinforcing the role of enterprises in promoting ecological stewardship and global climate action.” Xing Lei, Secretary-General of the World Green Design Organization, added that the system delivers a novel model for sustainable and healthy living spaces.

Heungkong Group chairwoman Mei Hing Chak said, “Technological innovation is the engine of our business strategy. By working closely with world-class scientific institutions and industrial partners, Heungkong has merged Panasonic’s global leadership in environmental sensing, Tantron’s proprietary algorithmic intelligence, and the practical ecosystem of our Heungkong-1 flagship residential project. The result is a new standard for indoor environmental science. In the years ahead, we will expand our innovation framework and deepen international partnerships to accelerate deployment and scalable impact.”

Matsui Jun, Head of Panasonic China & Northeast Asia’s HVAC Division, described the joint project as a testament to China–Japan technical synergy, “This system will set new industry benchmarks for healthy living environments, delivering tangible benefits to communities and consumers.”

Tantron founder Yao Minghai noted, “The 8 Constants + Forest Environment System delivers multiple world-first innovations, most notably its self-learning natural language interface. Unlike conventional systems requiring precise commands, the system, for instance, interprets casual expressions like ‘I’m sleepy’ to automatically dim lights, adjust ambiance and optimize sleep temperature. This isn’t just automation – it’s an adaptive living system that anticipates needs and personalizes experiences.”

The ‘8 Constants+ Forest Environment System’ brings together the core strengths of all three partners in a strategic collaboration: Panasonic provides the hardware platform, integrating its industry-leading precision sensors and HVAC technologies; Tantron drives innovation through proprietary AI algorithms and adaptive interaction architecture; and Heungkong Group leads scenario-based application and market enablement, drawing on its real-world project expertise to ensure scalable, ready-for-deployment solutions.
