PSE exceeded its clean energy goal in 2022 and it hopes to achieve similar success going forward, through a combination of utility scale renewables, new customer programs, distributed energy resources, and continued energy efficiency. Based on progress so far, PSE is currently on track to meet or exceed its obligation to achieve 80% clean or non-emitting energy by 2030 and 100% ...
New data show California is surging forward with the buildout of battery energy storage systems with more than 6,600 megawatts (MW) online, enough electricity to power 6.6 million homes for up to four hours. The total resource is up from 770 MW four years ago and double the amount installed just two years ago. ...
DOE convened a broad group of clean energy stakeholders through its Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) to develop the roadmap, which is intended to serve as a practical guide for implementing near-and long-term solutions to interconnect clean energy sources and to clear the existing backlog of solar, wind and battery projects seeking to get built. The country will need to ...
Department of the Interior released An Action Plan for Offshore Wind Transmission Development in the U.S. Atlantic Region. The plan details how wind resources could efficiently be captured off the Atlantic Coast of the United States and delivered to communities as clean, reliable power. It outlines immediate actions needed to connect the first ...
