Solar-plus-storage has a 99.8% capacity value in California “The energy from solar can consistently charge a 4-hour storage device having the same installed capacity” prior to the hours of peak demand, says a new study. In Arizona and New Mexico the capacity value is 99%. Solar-plus-storage has 99.8% of the capacity value of a theoretical … Continue reading Solar-plus-storage has a 99.8% capacity value in California
What If Consumers Could Just Buy Batteries and Plug Them In? U.S. startup Orison is ready to test its “energy storage as home appliance” concept in Australia and Europe following an $8.5 million seed round. Home battery storage has grown precipitously in recent years, but it still doesn’t match the scale and accessibility of a … Continue reading What If Consumers Could Just Buy Batteries and Plug Them In?
NRDC Sues FERC Over Orders that Threaten NY Clean Energy NRDC is suing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in federal court to overturn two FERC orders that thwart New York’s development of clean energy: an order targeting storage and an order targeting demand response resources.

Minutes Matter in the Energy Imbalance Market An energy imbalance market (EIM) is a voluntary market that provides a sub-hourly economic dispatch of participating resources for balancing supply and demand every five minutes. One such market is the Western EIM, which the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) began operating on Nov. 1, 2014. CAISO claims … Continue reading Minutes Matter in the Energy Imbalance Market

NREL study backs hydrogen for long-duration storage Pumped hydro and compressed air energy storage will soon be cost-effective for day-long storage, while hydrogen for long-duration storage will be cost-effective by 2050 or sooner, the national lab’s study projected. A National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study concludes that by 2050, hydrogen storage lasting for two weeks … Continue reading #NREL study backs hydrogen for long-duration storage
My Turn: More net metering would be a good thing In his June 22 Monitor op-ed (“Too much net metering not a good thing”), Rep. Michael Vose mixed some facts with some fiction. He noted correctly that over the past decade the wholesale price of electric energy in New England has declined markedly (from 6 … Continue reading My Turn: More net metering would be a good thing
How To Retire Early: Making Accelerated Coal Phaseout Feasible & Just For over a century, growing presence of coal smokestacks worldwide signified economic development and progress. Coal supplied our homes with electricity and our factories with power. At the same time, this workhorse of the industrial era caused serious harm to our health and the … Continue reading How To Retire Early: Making Accelerated Coal Phaseout Feasible & Just
