Utility-Scale Battery Storage Systems: Legal Issues and Opportunities Federal and state government mandates and incentives, combined with technological advances, have dramatically increased renewable energy sources during the past decade. Variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind have demonstrated great potential for meeting electric power demand but remain limited from a grid integration standpoint … Continue reading Utility-Scale Battery Storage Systems: Legal Issues and Opportunities →

Building a Better Behind-the-Meter Battery Business Behind-the-meter batteries are going to become a much larger part of the energy storage landscape over the next five years — and that means that this infant industry will be doing a lot of growing up in that time. So says GTM Research’s latest report, The Behind-the-Meter Energy Storage … Continue reading Building a Better Behind-the-Meter Battery Business →

Finally, better battery technology is hot — but not too hot SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Zimmerman likes to shock his guests by using a hammer to drive a nail through a solid polymer lithium metal battery. Nothing happens — and that’s a good thing. Zimmerman’s battery is a new spin on lithium-ion batteries, which are … Continue reading Finally, better battery technology is hot — but not too hot →
