The total of renewable generation and energy storage seeking to connect to the electric power grid is greater than existing installed capacity on the United States, according to a new report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).
A final report on Winter Storm Elliott, a 2022 storm that contributed to power outages for millions of electricity customers in the Eastern half of the country, was presented to Commissioners at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Sept. 21.
The Tennessee Valley Authority on Jan. 23 announced that it will be working with Bechtel and Sargent & Lundy along with GE Hitachi to support initial planning and evaluation for the first small modular reactor at TVA’s Clinch River Nuclear site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Winning a big business deal is like hitting a home run — exciting, but rare. For utilities that focus on maintaining relationships with key accounts, the winning strategy is to keep these connections strong using both traditional and new approaches. Utilities’ efforts to retain these top accounts
Five significant evolving and interdependent risks -- energy policy, grid transformation, resilience to extreme events, security risks and critical infrastructure interdependencies -- are identified in a report released by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.
Rising contributions from variable generation sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) solar, present challenges but, overall, the Western Interconnection has enough inherent flexibility and ramping ability to manage fluctuations in net load, a new report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found.
A spark in the electric world is often something to be avoided, except when it comes to sparking innovative ideas or practices. Yet there can still be a hesitancy to move forward or try out an idea, technology, or process just because there hasn’t been much history of its application by utilities
Residential and commercial buildings account for 30% of energy consumed in the U.S., according to the Energy Information Administration. About half of this energy is consumed as electricity. These buildings contribute about 12% of the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into our
A new study addresses the value propositions of adding battery storage to hydropower plants.
SPONSORED ADVERTISING FEATURE As the threats to the resilience and reliability of the electric power grid caused by extreme weather events rise, the advantages of small modular reactors are becoming more apparent. Those threats were underscored recently when a prolonged heat wave and deadly storms
