What would it take to decarbonize the electric grid by 2035? A new report by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) examines the types of clean energy technologies and the scale and pace of deployment needed to achieve 100% clean electricity, or a net-zero power grid, in the United States by 2035.This would be a major
Applications for the first year and second year funding allocations of the Grid Resilience Formula Grants are due March 31, 2023. This program will distribute up to $2.3 billion over five years. In November 2022, GDO opened the first round of funding for GRIP for fiscal years 2022–2023 and anticipates making selections in 2023.
This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources each year. Renewables accounted for 28% of electric generation in 2021, consisting of
Strengthening the electric grid will lessen disruptions caused by malicious actors, reduce power outages in homes across America, and help lower energy bills for all Americans by moving cheaper, cleaner
Since large amounts of electricity cannot be stored, it must be produced as it is used. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. power grid is made up of over 7,300 power plants, nearly 160,000 miles of high-voltage power lines, and millions of miles of low-voltage power lines and distribution transformers
The U.S. Department of Energy''s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has three core divisions: Renewable Energy, Sustainable Transportation and Fuels, and Buildings and Industry. The Renewable Energy pillar comprises four technology offices: Geothermal Technologies Office. Solar Energy Technologies Office.
To decarbonize and fight climate change, electrification and clean energy development must happen together—and fast. December 1, 2022. An airplane flies over electric power lines near Los
The US Department of Energy has just released its first-ever roadmap to speed up the connection of more clean energy to the grid. The goal is to finally clear the huge backlog of solar, wind,
Renewable energy is growing at a fast pace that will accelerate with increased funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. But bringing new wind and solar projects online involves a major bottleneck: a
The electricity industry is changing. At least 50% of customers have the option to purchase renewable electricity directly from their power supplier, and everyone has the option of purchasing renewable energy certificates. Such power is sometimes referred to as "green power" or "clean power." In most states, you can buy clean power through one
