In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law, unleashing a wave of optimism across the renewable energy sector. As someone who has spent over a decade in utility-scale development — working on more than a gigawatt of solar and hundreds of megawatts of battery energy storage projects — I saw firsthand how...
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, pumped storage hydropower makes up more than 90 percent of the nation’s utility-scale energy storage. Now, the Tennessee Valley Authority is considering expanding pumped storage hydropower capacity.
Alphabet’s Google said on Monday it has struck a deal to buy power from a project in Virginia fueled by fusion, the reaction that powers the sun and the stars but is not yet commercial on Earth. Google signed what it called the technology’s first direct corporate power purchase agreement with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a company...
The U.S. oil and gas industry sparked an energy revolution a few decades ago by thinking in a different direction—literally. Horizontal drilling, combined with hydraulic fracturing, unlocked new petroleum reserves and quickly propelled the U.S. to global leadership in oil and gas. Fervo Energy, a company headquartered in oil capital Houston, is aiming for a...
Google and conductor manufacturer CTC Global on Tuesday said they are partnering to ask states, utilities and transmission developers to identify areas to deploy advanced conductors, which can carry more power than standard transmission lines but use existing towers and poles. Responses to a request for information are due on July 14, and a request for proposals...
“New Mexico’s resources can start to provide cleaner power for the rest of the globe,” Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said. That is a statement the governor gave on Thursday during a press conference addressing the latest investment in geothermal energy. “There are different approaches from a technology perspective based on what you do from design,...
Energy Secretary Chris Wright does not expect U.S. crude oil production to decline in 2026, although the Energy Information Administration forecast such a development. “That is a projection — we don’t know what’s going to happen next year,” Wright told Bloomberg in an interview. “We have seen weak prices for a few months, and if prices...
The British government said on Tuesday that it would spend as much as 14.2 billion pounds, or about $19 billion, on constructing a nuclear power station, a project that is expected to create 10,000 jobs and help light up six million homes. The decision likely means that the giant plant called Sizewell C, whose site...
The industrial sector accounts for more than one-third of global energy consumption, most of which goes toward the industrial heating required to manufacture the products and materials that line our store shelves and build our cities. Now, a California-based company has developed a solution that could allow the industrial sector to cut costs while powering industrial heating with clean energy.
