States across the U.S. are increasingly embracing energy storage solutions to complement their clean energy initiatives. The growing share of renewables continues to drive the expansion of battery storage technologies, which can help integrate intermittent resources into the grid. U.S. battery storage capacity is projected to double this year, with planned additions of 14.3 gigawatts (GW), according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Additional solar capacity across Texas altered the daily electricity generation mix during 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Energy sources used to produce electricity have significantly changed in 2023, with solar accounting for a larger share of the generation mix. As it stands, wind generation remains the major source of renewable electricity generation…...
A full solar eclipse on April 8 is expected to limit solar electricity generation for a short time across the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The solar eclipse will temporarily but completely obscure sunlight to solar generation assets from Texas through Maine, impacting 6.5 gigawatts (GW) of capacity. Moreover, the solar eclipse…...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on April 4 announced the recipients of $20 billion in grant awards under two programs within the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, or GGRF, established by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. These grants will facilitate the establishment of a national financing network for clean energy and climate solutions across…...
The U.S. Energy Department announced the selection of more than 100 projects to receive $4 billion in advanced energy tax credits funded by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate clean energy manufacturing and reduce industrial emissions. The projects, selected under the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit, or 48C, program, span across 35 states…...
