Annual US energy storage installations will surge from 51MWh in 2013 to 3,659MWh by 2020 on improving economics and policy developments, predicted GTM Research’s Shayle Kann.
Originally published on Solar Love. In 2006, Henk Rodgers had a near-death experience. With a second chance and a fresh outlook on life, he decided to make the most of it. He then committed to making his home state of Hawaii, the state with some of the highest energy costs … [continued]
As I just wrote, a one-week cleantech tour (and semi-vacation) in the Netherlands put my “link drop” articles on hold for a bit, but I was saving stories along the way. After a couple of weeks, below is a massive list of non-CleanTechnica renewable energy, energy storage, climate, and other green stories … [continued]
60 to 200 megawatts — that’s the size of proposed energy storage development for the Hawaiian island of Oahu, according to a recent announcement from the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO). “We want someone to do the whole project, from design to testing to commissioning. Beyond that, we could own it, … [continued]
