Europe: +44 (0) 207 198 1634 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.

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 […]
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 […]
