Europe: +44 (0) 207 198 1634 New York State has pledged to be a leader in renewable energy. Developing this 127 square mile wind farm would be a huge step towards achieving that goal. Construction of a wind farm off Block Island, R.I., began in July, with a barge carrying pieces of foundation that were to be sunk and stabilized in […]
Solar is growing, and fast! Almost 75% of the 16 Gigawatts of growth in 2016 will be large utility-scale projects that will help to stabilize mid-day peak demand power prices. The U.S. solar market is set to grow a staggering 119 percent this year, says GTM Research in its U.S. Solar Market Insight 2015 Year […]
For the first time, the US is exporting natural gas in liquefied form. The excess supply of natural gas in the US is the cause for the current low energy prices, and many companies are hoping to ease the supply glut by exporting gas to countries around the globe that are in need. Source: U.S […]
New Jersey is looking to become the renewable energy leader in the Northeast with a goal of 80% renewables by 2050. With many states pushing for more and more renewable energy options and those renewable options becoming cheaper and cheaper, now is a good time to begin exploring long-term renewable energy options. Eighty percent of […]
Solar energy is no longer a fad! For the first time ever, solar beat out natural-gas capacity additions, with solar supplying 29.5 percent of all new electric generating capacity in the U.S. in 2015. Installing solar can help reduce energy costs, generate revenue, and even hedge against expected rising prices. In yet another record-breaking year, […]
Green energy is good, right? Indeed, but the “Duck Curve” presents an interesting side effect of having more renewable energy generation sources in the market. The article below is an fascinating must read. Check it out. Wind and solar power are pretty great, especially the part about how they don’t create pollution that kills people […]
2015 was a huge year for green energy, where over 60% of added capacity came from renewable sources. New capacity from nuclear, coal and oil will continue to decline. Looks like our green energy future may be closer than we think. It was quite a year for renewable energy. 2015 set the record for new […]
According to EIA, the average commercial customer received over $600 for participating, while industrial customers received over $9,000 just for reducing their energy usage during times of peak demand. If your firm has the ability to reduce load during times of peak demand, such as mid-afternoon on weekdays, enrolling in a DR program can greatly […]
