Regulators, System Operators, and Utilities Consider Reliability, Renewables, and EPA Regulations David Boyd, VP of government and regulatory affairs for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), described the situation with multiple new federal regulations—from mercury and ash rules to the Clean Power Plan—as “a puzzle of sorts.” There are 14 GW of wind in MISO … Continue reading Regulators, System Operators, and Utilities Consider Reliability, Renewables, and EPA Regulations→
Li-ion battery costs to fall 50% in next 5 years, driven by renewables Capital costs for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are expected to come down by around 50% over the next five years, as a result of increased renewables generation, among other factors, finds Lazard in a new study looking at the levelised cost of storage … Continue reading Li-ion battery costs to fall 50% in next 5 years, driven by renewables→
Solar causing 3x the power plant cycling of wind Littleton, Colorado – Renewable Impacts announces that its research of historical CAISO power plant cycling causality indicates that solar generation is causing substantially more power plant cycling causality than wind. While a 1 percentage point increase in wind energy penetration was found to increase wind cycling … Continue reading Solar causing 3x the power plant cycling of wind→
Top 5 Developments Enabling Shift to 100 Percent Renewable Energy A growing number of companies, cities, states and countries are aiming for, and achieving, a goal of obtaining power from 50 percent, 75 percent or even 100 percent renewable energy, thanks, in part, to a set of major developments that are enabling the resource shift, … Continue reading Top 5 Developments Enabling Shift to 100 Percent Renewable Energy→
Daimler is reusing electric vehicle batteries to store renewable energy The company says its stationary storage unit will come online in early 2016. When electric vehicle batteries get long in the tooth, they have to be replaced because they’ll start experiencing power loss—which will mean reduced vehicle performance. But what happens to those old batteries … Continue reading Daimler is reusing electric vehicle batteries to store renewable energy→
Can the IT industry catalyze the shift to renewable energy? The information technology sector faces quite a conundrum when it comes to energy. On one hand, demand for new data centers and power-hungry storage mechanisms is growing at a rapid clip thanks to the proliferation of mobile and cloud technologies. And the data centers needed … Continue reading Can the IT industry catalyze the shift to renewable energy?→
Solar Industry Proposes Plan To Save Renewable We’re now on the brink of a new development in renewable energy that will push this sector to the next level. Kelly says not one bill was allowed out of committee. Isn’t politics supposedly performed on behalf of the public (as opposed to politically contributing special interests) an … Continue reading Solar Industry Proposes Plan To Save Renewable→
DTE, Consumers Energy want to shut off Michigan’s renewable energy mandates LANSING — Since Michigan’s energy law was adopted in 2008, billions of dollars have been spent in the state’s emerging renewable energy industry — building infrastructure, adding jobs and lowering costs. With the help of the state’s two largest utilities, which are required under … Continue reading #DTE, #Consumers_Energy want to shut off #Michigan ‘s renewable energy mandates→
