Energy Update
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California likely will have an energy shortfall equivalent to what it takes to power about 1.3 million homes when use is at its peak during the hot and dry summer months, state officials said Friday.
For the first episode of the "Factor This!" podcast, which is now available, Auxin Solar CEO Mamun Rashid gives his first extensive interview since filing the tariff petition that has rocked the solar industry.
(Mon, 09 May 2022) Despite Libyaâs large oil reserves, political conflicts and militia attacks on hydrocarbon infrastructure have limited investments in the countryâs oil and natural gas sectors. These challenges have also constrained exploration and development of its reserves since 2011.

Largely because of the colossal failures of February 2021, local sources of power, usually referred to as distributed energy resources (DERs), are now, finally, getting some attention.
Texas is a land of contradictions and extremes. Our power grid is no different. It is, simultaneously, both an exemplar of innovation and a complete mess.
Texas is number one for wind power and is soon to be tops in solar. Texas is also #1 in coal.
Perovskite materials may hold the potential to play an important role in a process to produce hydrogen in a renewable manner, according to analysis from scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The NREL team analyzed an emerging water-splitting technology called solar thermochemical hydrogen (STCH) production. The technique potentially can be more energy efficient than producing hydrogen via the more commonly used electrolysis method.
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has completed its environmental review of an area offshore wind area in Northern California that paves the way for a development auction this fall.
Development of the Humboldt Wind Energy Area, located 20 miles offshore Humboldt County, is expected to have no significant environmental impact, BOEM determined in its analysis.
An integrated project featuring pumped storage and hydrogen generating facilities is planned for central Queensland, Australia, according to Sunshine Hydro.
The company said this Flavian superhybrid project is a “world’s first” and is planned within the Central Queensland Renewable Energy Zone (REZ). Sunshine Hydro said it secured the land and has begun detailed feasibility studies. It said it plans to reach final investment decision in 2025, with commissioning in 2028.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) announced the Foundational Agrivoltaic Research for Megawatt Scale (FARMS) funding opportunity, intended to award $8 million in funding for projects that examine how solar energy projects paired with agriculture–so-called “agrivoltaics”–can scale up.
Gravity-based energy storage developer Energy Vault has started construction on its first commercial-scale project.
The 100 MWh energy storage system is being built near a wind farm in Rudong, Jiangsu Province outside of Shanghai, China.
