Energy Update
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.
Community-scale clean energy developer NineDot Energy unveiled what it said is its first battery energy storage site in the Bronx, New York City.
The 3.08 MW/12.32 MWh Tesla Megapack system is designed as a solar canopy for bi-directional electric vehicle chargers. The project supports the company’s goal of deploying 400 MW of clean energy systems by 2026.

The backers of the Great Lakes’ first offshore wind farm are working to reboot the project following an Ohio Supreme Court decision this week that resolves more than two years of legal and regulatory uncertainty.
Massachusetts’ governor signed into law a climate change bill that’s meant to bring the state closer to its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
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.

The company has signed a letter of intent with German automotive producer MAHLE to drive home wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging. Plans include technical collaboration and joint interoperability tests.
Siemens and MAHLE intend to collaborate in the field of inductive charging of EVs. Both companies have signed a letter of intent to this effect.
Around 70% of solar systems in the U.S. are less than five years old, and with a lifespan of 30 years or more, recycling may not seem urgent. But multi-gigawatt demand for solar recycling awaits the industry in the decades to come.
How can solar recycling scale to meet the need, and who’s going to capture that market?
