Operators should switch to new 24x7 PPAs, says energy storage group

Operators should switch to new power purchase agreements (PPAs) which match green energy production with their consumption 24 hours a day, according to an energy storage body.

Long-duration energy storage ‘for everyone’ says US DoE as McKinsey publishes advice to corporates

The US government Department of Energy (DoE) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) as it prepares to rollout a package worth more than half a billion dollars to support the development and commercialisation of long-duration energy storage (LDES).

Why “24/7” clean power means more than “100% renewables”

Around the world, tens of gigawatts of renewable energy generation capacity is being contracted each year by big business as a key plank of corporate decarbonisation strategies, often aiming for the headline-grabbing target of 100% renewables.

The Renewable Energy Revolution will need Renewable Storage

The German word Dunkelflaute means “dark doldrums.” It chills the hearts of renewable-energy engineers, who use it to refer to the lulls when solar panels and wind turbines are thwarted by clouds, night, or still air. On a bright, cloudless day, a solar farm can generate prodigious amounts of electricity; when it’s gusty, wind turbines whoosh neighborhoods to life. But at night solar cells do little, and in calm air turbines sit useless. These renewable energy sources stop renewing until the weather, or the planet, turns.
