Europe: +44 (0) 207 198 1634 With the constant threat of price instability in New England, tiny Rhode Island is leading the way in a new renewable energy innovation: Offshore Wind Farms. The first wind farm of its kind in the US, this 5-turbine wind farm will provide power for thousands of homes in the state, and will hope be a […]
New York is trying to avoid three upstate nuclear plants shutting down due to lack of funding. These plants are vital to providing clean lower cost energy for the entire state, and without them, not only will New York fail to reach emissions targets, but the entire region will be susceptible to higher prices. State […]
Despite the advancements in renewable energy generation over the past few years, fossil fuels continue to dominate the US energy consumption landscape. The EIA is expecting fossil fuel’s share to fall drastically over the next 20 years, to about 75% of consumption, the lowest level since the early 1900’s. Technological advances and potential policy changes […]
Because of multiple economic, political, social, and weather factors, coal production has dropped in recent years and is now at its lowest level since 1981. This lack of coal is creating even more demand for natural gas for electricity generation, leaving much of the Northeast at risk for wildly volatile natural gas prices. Source: U.S. […]
Coal and natural gas plants are retiring in Texas. Now may be the time to look into solar and storage options to provide energy stability for the future. ERCOT may need to plan for a skinny duck curve. In the next 15 years, Texas expects to add somewhere between 14 and 27 gigawatts of solar […]
Not many people consider nuclear power as a clean power source. Nuclear is actually the cleanest of any power source besides the classic solar, wind, and hydro power sources. The future of our sustainability efforts will rely on the continued operation of these low-price-generating sources. The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. Exelon, […]
Renewable energy is growing. The extent to which it is growing is remarkable though, with 70 times more renewable capacity added than natural gas (18MW for natural gas vs 1,291MW for renewables). In the first three months of 2016, the U.S. grid added 18 megawatts of new natural gas generating capacity. It added a whopping […]
The Indian Point Energy Center, located about 35 miles from Manhattan, is a vital resource for clean nuclear power for the New York City area. Many groups, however, are attempting to stop the Energy Center from renewing its license, which if successful, may increase prices for end users in the region. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission […]
Critics of renewable energy say that renewables will never provide 100% of our energy needs. Germany is coming close after 87% of consumed power was supplied by the country’s renewable energy sources. On Sunday, May 8, Germany hit a new high in renewable energy generation. Thanks to a sunny and windy day, at one point […]
New England winter natural gas prices are highly dependent on supply coming into the region. Several planned pipeline extensions, which would bring much needed extra supply to New England are in danger of being shut down. If opponents of Kinder Morgan’s $3.3 billion pipeline project have their way, federal regulators will throw out its application […]
