A paper recently published by researchers at the Energy Department’s Berkeley Lab sets out to examine whether or not this trend is a good thing. 

The U.S. Departments of Energy and Health & Human Services said that five states and Washington, D.C. will support the pilot of a Community Solar Subscription Platform. The program is intended to connect families to solar energy and thereby lower electricity bills through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and other low-income assistance programs.

Ukraine is planning an ambitious build-back of renewables of up to 30GW by the end of the decade after seeing substantial parts of its nascent wind and solar capacity wiped off the grid during the war with Russia.

Maxim Timchenko, head of the country’s energy company DTEK, revealed yesterday that about 90% of wind power and 30% of solar capacity has been knocked out of operation because their locations have fallen into Russian-occupied territory.

The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) is making a conditional commitment to Ultium Cells LLC for a $2.5 billion loan to help finance construction of new lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cell manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Tennessee, and Michigan.
