Two of the most fundamental elements for sustainable development – heat and cold – are hard to come by in off-grid communities. Both are essential to sanitation and medical provision, and therefore to survival. Being able to stay clean and healthy also has enormous knock-on effects for the long-term success of populations.
Six teams of marine energy innovators have advanced from the design to the build contest in the Ocean Observing Prize.
A joint effort of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Integrated Ocean Observing System, this multistage prize is administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Minnesota will soon distribute $7.5 million in grants to up to 80 schools as part of the launch of a new program that is bringing solar power to campuses across the state.

The end of February was a very exciting time for the offshore wind power space.
(Fri, 18 Mar 2022) Australia, a significant producer of both coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG), exports the majority of its energy production. Australiaâs energy exports, excluding uranium, accounted for approximately 81% of its total energy production in 2020. Australia was also the worldâs largest coal exporter based on energy content and the second-largest exporter based on weight, behind Indonesia. In addition, it was the largest exporter of LNG in the world that year.
Volvo Cars and Starbucks announced a pilot partnership that could bring fast EV chargers to up to 15 of the coffee giant's locations along a route from Denver to Seattle.
In the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANOPR) issued last summer on transmission planning and generator interconnection reform, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) asked for comments on whether there is a role for an Independent Transmission Monitor like the current Independent Market Monitor role at most grid operators. Independent transmission companies, consumer advocates, industrial customers, and renewable developers favor an independent transmission monitor.
The announcement last November was refreshing to solar energy advocates.
