Updated by David Roberts on August 13, 2015, 9:00 a.m. ET How can we get more wind and solar power integrated into energy grids? Meeting the long-term challenge — getting to, say, 75 percent of renewable electricity or higher — will require technological innovation and sustained declines in cost. It’s exciting to think about. But … Continue reading California’s plan to let solar panels Voltron together into a “virtual power plant”→
Solar, Storage, Enviros Square Off Against Gas for California SGIP Dollars California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program is a generous subsidy intended to spur development of low-emissions distributed generation. But the complicated calculation of just what qualifies as “low emissions” has been the subject of lively debate at the California Public Utilities Commission of late, since the … Continue reading Solar, Storage, Enviros Square Off Against Gas for California #SGIP Dollars→
New Expectations for Electricity Consumers For most of the last century, Americans have been passive consumers of electricity, paying whatever their utility charged for the juice to run their lights and appliances. That would change under the new carbon rules that the Obama administration will be unveiling Monday, experts say. Utilities themselves would install more … Continue reading New Expectations for #Electricity_Consumers→
