EIA Report: Large-Scale Battery Storage in US Hits 10-Year High The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released a new report that examines national large-scale battery storage trends over the past decade. Capacity went from seven systems with 59 megawatts in 2010 to 125 systems totaling 869 MW at the end of 2018. “Battery Storage in … Continue reading EIA Report: Large-Scale Battery Storage in US Hits 10-Year High
EIA forecasts renewables will be fastest growing source of electricity generation January 18 (Renewables Now) – The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects non-hydroelectric renewable energy resources such as solar and wind to be the fastest growing source of US electricity generation for at least the next two years. EIA’s January 2019 Short-Term Energy Outlook … Continue reading EIA forecasts renewables will be fastest growing source of electricity generation
2019 US renewable generation additions expected to far outpace gas: EIA Cheaper prices of natural gas and renewable energy have impacted the competitiveness of more traditional generation fuels. Renewable additions are projected to more than double gas in 2019. Last year, natural gas capacity additions outpaced renewable energy additions for the first time since 2013. … Continue reading 2019 US renewable generation additions expected to far outpace gas: EIA
Gas-fired Power Edging Closer to 40 percent of U.S. Generation mix, EIA says Natural gas-fired power plants will supply 37 percent of U.S. electricity generation this summer, putting it close to the industry record achieved last year. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s July report forecasts that the gas-fired portion of the national electric power produced … Continue reading Gas-fired Power Edging Closer to 40 percent of U.S. Generation mix, EIA says

This article is the second part of a 2-article series on the growing role of energy storage as illustrated by presentations … Continue reading Energy storage takes the grid by storm at the EIA conference, part 2
Energy storage takes the grid by storm at the EIA conference, part 1 Presentations by Duke Energy, NREL, Fluence, GE and the EIA itself showed that energy storage is becoming a fact on the ground. At various points every month, every quarter and every year we look forward to the data releases of the US … Continue reading Energy storage takes the grid by storm at the EIA conference, part 1
EIA: Wind to beat hydro as leading US renewable resource in next 2 years Because the weather is hard to predict, so too are wind and hydro generation. “Because few new hydro plants are expected to come online in the next two years, hydroelectric generation in 2018 and 2019 will largely depend on precipitation and … Continue reading EIA : Wind to beat hydro as leading US renewable resource in next 2 years
January’s cold weather leads to record US natural gas demand, impacts generation mix A recent analysis from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that the bomb cyclone weather event in January caused record levels of U.S. natural gas demand and increased wholesale natural gas and power prices across the country. The increased demand led … Continue reading January’s #cold_weather leads to record US natural gas demand, impacts generation mix
EIA Quantifies ‘Many Different’ Grid Functions Of Batteries Driven largely by installations over the past three years, the electric power industry has installed about 700 MW of utility-scale batteries on the U.S. electric grid, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). As of October 2017, these batteries made up about 0.06% of U.S. utility-scale … Continue reading EIA Quantifies ‘Many Different’ Grid Functions Of Batteries
Higher coal and natural gas prices affect generator profitability, EIA report says Relative profits for some natural gas- and coal-fired generators in a number of Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic states have decreased since 2016 due to higher natural gas and coal prices and lower wholesale electricity prices, according to a recently released report from the U.S. … Continue reading Higher coal and natural gas prices affect generator profitability, EIA report says
