Now, a new report from RMI shows how grid enhancing technologies — called “GETs” for short — could clear the way for gigawatts’ worth of clean energy projects to connect to the 84,000-mile interstate transmission network. That’s important for grid operators, utilities, regulators and policymakers trying to add new clean energy to U.S. power grids.
A boom in data centers and factories is straining electric grids and propping up fossil fuels. By Brad Plumer and Nadja Popovich March 14, 2024 Something unusual is happening in America. Demand for electricity, which…
Here is wonderful, interactive pressentation that will show you the fuels used to create electricity in your state. (Nevada is about 30% renewables at this point — with goal of 50% by 2030.
Renewables become the largest source of global electricity generation by early 2025, surpassing coal. Their share of the power mix is forecast to increase by 10 percentage points over the forecast period, reaching 38% in 2027.
Floating turbine swaps out the single large pole for four thinner ones angled in a pyramid shape. This distributes the weight of the turbine’s pieces, allowing the structure to be lighter. Constructed in a shipyard, its towed into place.
China plans to build 450 GW of solar and wind power generation capacity on the Gobi and other desert regions. The goal is to boost renewable power use and meet climate change goals. (Largest solar project in history.)
In 3 yrs this #solar installation at a high school in Arkansas turned the district budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They’re using the surplus to increase teacher salaries. We have…
from Renew Economy David Osmond | 24 August 2022 There have been many simulations of a 100% renewable electricity grid for Australia, including some ground-breaking studies from Beyond Zero Emissions, The University of New South…
While the world struggles to find the will to fight global warming and end its reliance on fossil fuels, dozens of startups are putting billions of dollars into the quest for unlimited clean power. On this episode of “Power Moves,” Bloomberg sheds light on the progress of government-subsidized giants, the novel approaches being tried by upstarts, and how the hunt for a fusion reactor that produces more energy than it uses has become a race against global catastrophe.
The path to net-zero will be faster, easier, and cheaper if nuclear energy is part of the mix.
Wind and solar power have dominated new power capacity additions in 2021, continuing the trend of the past three years.
Many solar and wind projects face a problem: getting the energy from where it’s made to where it’s needed. #RegulatoryChangeNeeded
