Military microgrids demonstrate Xendee platform to enhance operations
Xendee is designed to model up to 25 different distributed energy resource technologies and calculate a techno-economic solution for each site to meet organizational goals including reducing costs, cutting CO2 emissions, increasing resilience, or a combination of all three.
EE North America partners with Elio Energy Group to build 2 GW solar and storage portfolio
Formed earlier this year by Copenhagen, Denmark-based European Energy, EE North America is developing a 10 GW project portfolio of solar, storage and wind projects in the U.S. through 2026, with Arizona representing 20% of its project pipeline.
American Battery Factory and Anovion form alliance for supply of synthetic graphite
ABF and Anovion were recent recipients of federal grant funding from the Department of Energy, which awarded $2.8 billion to advanced materials companies that have begun to source battery material components from new and recycled materials using lithium, graphite and other materials sourced in North America.
To the chagrin of utilities, this “electric microutility” seeks solar on every roof and a battery in every garage
Sunnova’s groundbreaking community microgrid proposal is fighting back against a motion to dismiss, from major utility companies who must feel their business plan is being attacked.
Sunrise brief: U.S. to deploy massive amount of renewables by 2030, thanks to the IRA
Also on the rise: Solar microgrid community launched in California. Wisconsin groups find 100% clean energy + electrification to be ambitious but feasible. And more.
U.S. to deploy 550 GW of new renewables by 2030
The American Clean Power Q3 report has been released. The organization lifted long-term deployment targets to much higher levels following the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act.
rPlus Energies hosts 200 MW Utah solar facility ground-breaking
Appaloosa Solar 1 sits adjacent to one of Utah’s earliest utility-scale solar projects, the 80 MW Three Peaks Solar facility.
Novel redox flow battery paves way for low-cost storage
Researchers have facilitated the decoupling of power from energy design by incorporating a conducting carbon slurry in the negative electrolyte of an all-iron flow battery. In a new study, they describe the design considerations for slurry iron redox flow battery scalability.
The mobility rEVolution: PG&E obtains first V2G export rate for commercial EVs in US
PG&E has secured approval to set up a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) export compensation mechanism for commercial EV charging customers in California. Sono Motors is debuting its Sion solar electric vehicles in the US market, while Toyota and Jera are installing innovative second-life battery systems in Japan.
U.S. DOE offers $43 million to support communities in building resilience
Research projects in 19 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico will help with energy planning, increasing grid resilience, and restoring power after disasters.
