There’s a broad consensus that the world will deploy more grid storage in the coming years than it does today, but few people agree on exactly how much more.Here’s a new prediction: Global lithium-ion battery deployments over the next five years will grow by 55 percent annually, according to a new report from GTM Research.In
Consumers can save an average of £273 by switching to a green supply from a standard variable tariff (SVT) offer by the Big Six energy suppliers as the rise in renewable electricity has meant going green has never been more affordable.These were the findings of new research by price comparison and switching site uSwitch.com, which
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has written to energy minister Claire Perry, expressing his deep concerns surrounding the government’s solar proposals.Days before summer recess, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy unveiled controversial proposals to close the export tariff at the same time as the feed-in tariff as of 1 April 2019, effectively cutting
First it was net metering that made rooftop solar systems appealing for home owners. Those solar panels would feed excess electricity back into the grid, generating cash for homeowners. The idea of paying people to generate electricity makes utility executives’ heads explode. It wasn’t long before they won concessions from public utility commissions that limited
Shifting to solar could help homeowners save a wedge on energy bills, and by adding a storage battery they’ll be able to benefit from renewables even when it’s cloudy
The health threats of climate change are on full display this summer as communities around the world deal with record-breaking heat. Carbon pollution driving climate change is causing significant human suffering by making extremely hot days more common, and increasing the frequency and severity of drought and dangerous wildfires.
In the first two quarters of 2018 Tesla deployed 40% more energy storage than all of 2017, with 300-400% growth expected for 2019. Solar power deployments grew 11% to 84 MW over a low Q1 value.
A new report from Greentech Media and the Energy Storage Association finds residential battery storage in the US surged in the first quarter of 2018.
It is the temperature at which human cells start to cook, animals suffer and air conditioners overload power grids. Once an urban anomaly, 50C is fast becoming reality
Separate markets could evolve as EVs push for batteries with higher density and stationary storage seeks higher cycling capability
