Has a nice sound to it: renewable energy resources capturing a 22% share of the generation mix in 2022.
Electricity generation from renewable sources, such as hydropower, wind, and solar, accounted for 20% of electricity generation both in 2020 and in 2021. Now, the Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) said it expects that share to rise to 22% in 2022 and to 24% in 2023.
National Grid said it has located what it called “robust stocks” of renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen potentially available for customers in Massachusetts and New York.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy field laboratory announced up to $44 million for projects to develop and test technology to foster innovation in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
The lab said that only a small fraction of the United States’ geothermal resource can be harnessed via naturally occurring hot water or steam. The vast majority, it said, is inaccessible without the creation of human-made EGS reservoirs.

The bill signed by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker encourages the development of offshore wind and solar energy and gives some local authority to limiting the use of fossil fuels in building projects.
Developers plan to install 17.8 GW of utility-scale solar PV generating capacity this year, according to the June 2022 Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory from the Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration (EIA).
San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) ordered Mitsubishi Power’s battery storage and equipment for four microgrids the utility is planning.
The total capacity across the utility-scale projects would be 39 MW/180 MWh.
