That’s in part because outside the … Continue reading How one Alaskan island went 100% renewable→
Amazon to use North Carolina wind power to offset energy needs of Ohio data centers Amazon wants renewable energy to power its data centers planned for central Ohio, so the company is helping to build a wind farm — in North Carolina. Clean-energy advocates say Ohio runs the risk of getting bypassed for big projects … Continue reading #Amazon to use North Carolina wind power to offset #energy needs of Ohio #data_centers→
Top and bottom wind energy-producing states in the US The U.S. Department of Energy wants 20 percent of the nation’s energy to come from wind power in the next 15 years, up from the 5 percent wind generates now. A new Energy Department report finds that wind technology featuring taller towers and larger turbines may … Continue reading Top and bottom wind energy-producing states in the US→
Here’s What The Future Of Energy Might Look Like. And It’s Pretty Amazing You’re already familiar with solar power, wind power, and even water power. But when it comes to the future of energy, those renewable power sources soon could be old news. Scientists and engineers are now building mashup versions of the renewable sources … Continue reading Here’s What The Future Of Energy Might Look Like. And It’s Pretty Amazing→
How California is Integrating Renewable Energy Without Blowing a Fuse When Thomas Edison flipped the switch on his coal-fired central power station in Manhattan back in 1882, its function was simple: move power in one direction, from the generator to the consumer. There was little diversity in this system and no regard for source energy … Continue reading How California is Integrating Renewable Energy Without Blowing a Fuse→
Under CAISO proposal, distributed resources could bid into CA energy markets next year California is one of a handful of states — New York and Texas make the list as well — working to quickly integrate distributed energy resource providers (DERPs) into energy markets. But the state is further along than its counterparts, and has … Continue reading Under CAISO proposal, distributed resources could bid into CA energy markets next year→
ISO-NE: Renewables are driving up capacity market prices The rise of renewables in New England is keeping prices down in electricity markets, but at the same time driving up costs in the capacity market. According to the ISO, traditional generation sources are forced to price their capacity higher to offset a loss of revenue in … Continue reading ISO-NE: Renewables are driving up capacity market prices→
