Bus Talk podcast to demystify electric school buses
Highland Electric Fleets launches a seven-episode podcast to help school districts and towns gain a better understanding of EV school buses.
Proposed regional clean hydrogen hubs to compete for $7 billion in DOE funding
Several teams plan to propose regional hubs in which large-scale clean hydrogen production would be paired with industrial and other end-uses for hydrogen. DOE gave examples of technologies that could meet its draft standard for “clean” hydrogen.
Salient Energy zinc-ion battery passes UL safety testing
Nova Scotia-based Salient Energy’s non-flammable battery is one step closer to commercialization.
Sunrise brief: Clean energy companies call on ICC to reject FEMA proposal
Also on the rise: The world’s largest single-phase battery is now online. RFP Alert: Pennsylvania utilities to procure up to 20 MW of solar. And more.
RFP Alert: Pennsylvania utilities to procure up to 20 MW of solar
Penn Power, West Penn, Met-Ed, and Penelec released a request for proposals for up to 20 MW of power purchase agreements ranging from four to ten years.
Standard Solar acquires 6.2 MW Rhode Island community solar portfolio from Trina Solar
The power generated by the two ground-mount projects will be subscribed through the state’s virtual net metering program.
More than 315 clean energy companies call on ICC to reject code proposal from FEMA
The FEMA proposed change would raise the structural risk category for solar to the maximum, which would increase the structural requirements for ground-mounted solar and energy storage.
Sunrise brief: U.S. DOE invests $14 million to enhance environmental and wildlife benefits of solar
Also on the rise: World has technical potential to host 47.6 PWh of photovoltaic-thermal panels. Artificial intelligence could speed interconnection, says Amazon executive. And more.
Wind, solar payback times under a year in some parts of world, says Rystad
Record energy prices, particularly in Europe, are driving demand for renewables and energy storage. That is changing the equation for utility solar and wind investment and shortening project payback times to under a year in some regions. Storage deployment, driven by recent policy developments around the world, is also expected to get a big boost through to 2030.
World has technical potential to host 47.6 PWh of photovoltaic-thermal panels
Scientists from the Central European University in Hungary have estimated the global technical potential of photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) energy production by using a high-resolution geospatial model.
