Vehicle-to-grid technology has been the ever-elusive golden egg for many renewable energy advocates, but always seems to get stuck because, among other things, it’s expected the average buyer of a personal vehicle won’t want to pay for it — which means manufacturers won’t have an incentive to build the tech into their cars.
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has this week rejected a proposal filed earlier this year by PHM Interconnection seeking permission to restrict energy efficiency resources from entering the wholesale market, a move which has been praised by energy efficiency proponents.
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.
Debunking the clean energy myth that the “Duck Curve” puts a ceiling on renewable energy integration
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.
New analysis says America’s largest grid operator ignores gigawatts of energy efficiency savings, overestimates power demand, and costs consumers billions.
One wonky court decision might have just unlocked America’s renewable energy future by requiring regional coordination between states and utilities.
The Northeast U.S. cap-and-trade system helped install 800MW new renewables capacity in 2013, showing states how EPA’s proposed emissions rule can succeed.
California’s grid operator announced the state set two new records for solar energy output by integrating 4.1GW of solar energy late last week.
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.
