Energy Update
The solar industry is growing fast. In 2016, solar energy was the largest source of new generating capacity in the United States. With more than 1 million U.S. solar projects now operating, the country has more than 35 gigawatts of total solar installed capacity—enough to power the equivalent of 6.5 million average American homes.
A South African bank has become the go-to funding source for the U.S. rooftop solar industry just two years after entering the market.
China’s regulatory pendulum has swung from supporting independent refiners to favoring state-owned oil companies.
(Mon, 13 Feb 2017) EIAâs recently released <em>Annual Energy Outlook 2017</em> (AEO2017) Reference case projects that U.S. tight oil production will increase to more than 6 million barrels per day (b/d) in the coming decade, making up most of total U.S. oil production.

A battery made with urea, commonly found in fertilizers and mammal urine, could provide a low-cost way of storing energy produced through solar power or other forms of renewable energy for consumption during off hours.
Opportunities and risks abound. Understanding why renewable energy should be developed in Cuba and what the major risks and policy obstacles are will be critical for international investors to assess their potential operations in the country.
(Fri, 10 Feb 2017) Despite its estimated 802 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of unproved, technically recoverable shale gas resources, Argentinaâs dry natural gas production declined each year from 2006 to 2014, and the country has shifted from a net exporter of natural gas to a net importer.
Installed wind power capacity in the U.S. at the end of last year outpaced hydroelectric capacity for the first time ever, according to the American Wind Energy Association’s U.S. Wind Industry Fourth Quarter 2016 Market Report, released today.
