US: +1 (877) 51 POWER 
Europe: +44 (0) 207 198 1634 For the first time since 2006, the US as a whole consumed more natural gas than it produced during the summer months. However, despite the withdrawal and continued below-average injections, natural gas in storage is still well above the 5 year average.

Although many of the 19 proposed Northeast pipelines will not be built, the added natural gas production and consumption would increase greenhouse gas emissions, exactly what the US is attempting to limit. A service truck drives past an oil well in North Dakota, November 2014. The United States will miss its emission-reduction targets under the […]
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 […]
“Everything is bigger in Texas – including solar.” With almost 90% of new solar to be installed in Texas coming from utility-scale solar projects, Texas is positioning itself with California as the biggest solar states in the country. Better known for its wind power, Texas is quickly becoming a leader in solar energy as well. […]
According to a recent poll, 72% of large corporations are actively pursuing renewable energy purchases, with over 75% of those companies stating an attractive ROI as a reason for the purchases. Nearly three out of four of America’s largest corporations intend to purchase renewable energy within the next 18 months, based on the results of […]
Rhode Island, a state that already has committed to renewable energy with a 30MW Block Island wind farm beginning generation this summer, is now committing to 40% renewable energy by 2035. With this mandate, Rhode Island will attract new business from renewable energy companies and add billions of dollars into the state’s economy. The Rhode […]
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. […]
Massachusetts lawmakers are supporting green energy. With Boston hosting a US-China Climate Summit in 2017, the state is preparing to become a sustainability example for other states and countries to follow. Led by the UK and Germany, the installed capacity of global offshore wind is now over 11,000 MW and is expected to increase by […]
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 […]
