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.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its annual Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks detailing national-level data on greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2022. In 2022, net U.S. greenhouse gas emissions stood at 5,489 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, marking a 1.3 percent increase from the previous year. This is attributed…...
The U.S. Energy Department and Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced a strategic partnership on April 10 to advance fusion energy capabilities. Monitored through the Coordinating Committee on Fusion Energy, CCFE, the collaboration aims to identify opportunities for advancing demonstration and commercialization of fusion energy. Leveraging resources and facilities in both…...
U.S. natural gas inventories are projected to remain comparatively high through 2025, according to an April 11 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. High natural gas inventories are expected to dampen price volatility in U.S. gas markets and lead to relatively lower natural gas spot prices through 2025. The U.S. ended the winter…...
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…...
Recognizing the crucial role of energy efficiency in enabling an affordable energy transition, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled the first federal blueprint for decarbonizing the buildings sector including goals to reduce on-site energy use intensity … Read the full report …...
The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission on April 4 voted to adopt a policy statement establishing guidelines for the use of electricity storage by distribution companies. The policy paves the way for future use of non-wires solutions that improve reliability and resilience of the grid. Electric distribution companies can now use storage technologies or batteries instead…...
Recognizing the crucial role of energy efficiency in enabling an affordable energy transition, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled the first federal blueprint for decarbonizing the buildings sector including goals to reduce on-site energy use intensity in buildings. Additionally, multiple states have pledged to accelerate the shift to zero-emission residential buildings, highlighting the growing importance of energy-efficient solutions in achieving broader energy and climate objectives.
