As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office announced this week the closing of a $1.25 billion loan guarantee ($1.05 billion of principal and $193 million of capitalized interest) to EVgo Swift Borrower LLC to expand public electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The loan guarantee will support EVgo’s deployment ...
In the first pathway, only renewables, such as wind and solar power, and energy storage are added to the power mix. In the second pathway, balancing power generation technologies, that can be ramped up quickly when needed to support intermittent renewables, are also added to the system. The modelling shows that a power system ...
