I just wrote about how battery energy storage is massively helping to extend the usefulness of solar energy into the evening in California. It is quickly transforming the California electricity grid. Then I saw this news from ENGIE, thanks to one of our content curators. ENGIE has now reached more … [continued]
As solar energy became a larger and larger portion of California electricity generation, there were rising concerns about the infamous “duck curve.” Solar energy was starting to dominate midday electricity generation, forcing curtailments even, while peak electricity demand in the evening was a tad too late for solar to be … [continued]
This news makes you wonder if Australia’s take-up of solar and Tesla batteries are as important as Norway’s support for Tesla vehicles. Australia, with the highest proportion of home rooftop solar in the world (about 30%), is certainly a world leader in distributed renewable energy. Natural Solar issued a press … [continued]
