Sometimes, a Greener Grid Means a 40,000% Spike in Power Prices
The road to a world powered by renewable energy is littered with unintended consequences. Like a 40,000% surge in electricity prices. Texas power prices jumped from less than $15 to as much as $9,000 a megawatt-hour this month as coal plant retirements and weak winds left the region on the brink of blackouts during a […]
Solar and Wind Curtailment: A Liability or Asset for Decarbonizing the Grid?
On the docket this week: curtailment of renewable energy. Historically, we’ve thought about curtailment as a waste of valuable clean electricity — a financial penalty for renewable generators who need to monetize every last electron. It’s already an issue today. California has so much solar power, in certain months it is dialing back tens of […]
Vehicle-Grid Integration Unlocks TheTrue Potential Of Electric Vehicles And Renewables
The clean energy revolution is bringing new sources of generation onto grids around the world, which is fundamentally shifting the way grids operate. However, the intermittent nature of solar and wind generation require flexible grid technologies like demand response and energy storage at a scale.
