The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced a directive just a few days before Christmas which will require PJM Interconnection to raise prices of wind and solar power to be in line with the cost of fossil fuels
PJM Interconnection, a transmission operator serving parts of the eastern United States, has published a report confirming that its system can remain reliable even with the addition of more natural gas and variable renewable energy sources.
A new report finds renewable energy can provide up to 30% of total electricity supply in PJM Interconnection by 2026 without cost or reliability concerns.
In contrast to recent widespread corporate media scaremongering about the lights going out because the Obama administration EPA is now finally forcing the dirtiest coal plants offline, a just-issued new report by the nation’s largest regional transmission operator PJM Interconnection, says… Nu-uh.
Here’s a story about how a small change in technology can help solve a large problem for utility companies. Heimdall Power of Norway has developed a sensor it calls a Neuron, but which is known in the industry as a “magic ball.” In essence, what a Neuron does is wrap … [continued]
The Biden administration this week announced a major new funding program to modernize and harden the electrical grid.
Solar power is not just for rich people, but it’s not free and you typically need to show a decent credit score to finance it. As with many things in life, the less wealthy people in society are left behind a bit as we transition into this cleaner, more financially … [continued]
