The Global Energy Transition often seems to be about big infrastructure projects, like offshore windfarms and grid battery storage. However, what’s happening at the home level is arguably more important, in terms of the impact on the individual and on the future requirements for national grids.
A world where energy is clean, cost effective and reliable for everyone is now within sight
Wind and solar could provide half of the world’s energy generation by 2050 on the back of continually declining technology costs, particularly in battery energy storage, according to a new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).The 150-page New Energy Outlook (NEO) 2018 report predicts that the future of the global electricity system will be
According to a recent report, Bitcoin mining could account for as much as 0.5 percent of global electricity demand by the end of 2018. “Mining” is the process by which a global network of computers verify Bitcoin transactions, and running all of those computers uses a lot of energy. As electricity demand for mining Bitcoin
The UK could meet its future power demand predominantly through wind and solar generation without jeopardising security of supply, a new report has revealed.The report, produced by consultancy Vivid Economics in partnership with Marko Aunedi, an academic within Imperial College’s faculty of engineering, has assessed how the UK power system can decarbonise out to 2030,
Ministers told there is no logical argument against turbines in areas that want them
EXCLUSIVE: E.ON chief executive Michael Lewis has claimed that an energy storage revolution must happen within a decade if the world is to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
The cost of renewables has been sinking. Harnessing the excess could be huge.
Just weeks after the 12th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES2018) concluded in Düsseldorf, Germany, newly announced figures from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) confirmed that battery storage technologies coupled with rapidly expanding renewables are blunting new fossil fuel investments.
One of the UK’s largest wind farm developers is preparing to charge up its first major battery storage project to help stabilise Britain’s power grid as more turbines begin to spin.Denmark’s Ørsted, formerly known as Dong Energy, is nearing completion of the world’s largest wind farm and from next month will become one of Britain’s
