Solar and wind power will drive the value of energy storage, remaking the power grid A much heralded report shows solar and wind will lower wholesale prices, but it also shows a coming evolution in the pricing profile of the grid. These shifts in timing, shape, regularity and length will drive energy storage demand. Despite … Continue reading Solar and wind power will drive the value of energy storage, remaking the power grid→
New Water-Based Battery Could Help Store Solar and Wind Energy A group of researchers at Stanford University have developed a new type of battery using water and salt that they hope could be used to store energy produced from wind and solar farms, increasing the effectiveness of renewable energy sources. The two fastest-growing forms of … Continue reading New Water-Based Battery Could Help Store Solar and Wind Energy→
New Hydrogen “Water Battery” Could Make Wind and Solar Greener A new device that converts water to hydrogen gas could help solve an emerging carbon emissions dilemma for businesses and other electricity consumers. Companies want to be applauded for switching to wind or solar energy, but here in the US that choice is not necessarily … Continue reading New Hydrogen “Water Battery” Could Make Wind and Solar Greener→
Colorado wind had a good year in 2017 with some big deals to report At one point, more than 65 percent of Colorado’s electric needs were provided by wind Colorado’s wind industry had a good year in 2017, with steady employment numbers and a couple of big corporate deals to report, according to the American … Continue reading #Colorado wind had a good year in 2017 with some big deals to report→
Solar and wind plus storage to increasingly replace gas plants A session at BNEF’s Future of Energy Summit explored how renewables paired with energy storage are successfully competing with new gas plants. For some years it has been obvious that increasing deployment of solar and wind is cutting into the market share of coal and … Continue reading Solar and wind plus storage to increasingly replace gas plants→
American Electric Power (AEP) Is Planning To Build A Two-Gigawatt Wind Farm The American Electric Power (AEP) is building the largest wind farm in the US in Oklahoma, but there’s a growing fight over the two-gigawatt wind power project which may reshape how Americans pay for renewable energy, reports Bloomberg. The project, Wind Catcher, is … Continue reading American Electric Power (#AEP) Is Planning To Build A Two-Gigawatt Wind Farm→
Is Offshore Wind a Better Deal With Batteries? A partnership between developer Bay State Wind and NEC Energy Solutions this month highlighted a growing push to pair energy storage with offshore wind. Bay State Wind said it will work with NEC Energy Solutions to add batteries to an 800-megawatt offshore wind farm planned for 15 … Continue reading Is Offshore Wind a Better Deal With Batteries?→
Southwest Power Pool real-time prices drop on high wind generation Southwest Power Pool real-time prices turned negative Monday afternoon as wind generation picked up. South Hub real-time was negative $15.25/MWh around 1:25 pm CDT Monday as wind generation increased in the SPP footprint. Wind generation was more than 43% of the SPP fuel mix at … Continue reading Southwest Power Pool real-time prices drop on high wind generation→
Michigan Is Not a Windy State Michigan is not a windy state, but you wouldn’t know it from the actions of state regulators. Michigan’s Legislature has favored the wind industry, mandating that an increased portion of energy produced in the state must come from wind. These mandates are typically advanced under the assumption that energy … Continue reading #Michigan Is Not a Windy State→
