How a strong state-industry partnership can help the GCC move to green energy
Contributed by Dr. Raed Kombargi The ongoing energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy requires that governments and the corporate sector collaborate in new ways. Compared to other regions, the Gulf Cooperation Council — comprised of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman — has an advantage because its energy …

Distributed solar+storage should qualify for Minnesota utility energy efficiency programs
Due to interconnection delays, Minnesota utilities plan to replace their fossil fuel generators with utility-scale solar in Integrated Resource Plans. The strategy is to keep their existing MISO interconnection rights at the retiring unit locations. But that diminishes distributed scale solar prospects. Even though each investor-owned utility is different, if all utilities move in this …
DoE aims to increase the lifespan of solar plants from 30 to 50 years
The US Department of Energy (DoE) has announced funding for research and development of technologies that can help increase the lifespan of solar energy power plants. A total of $40 million in funding announced by the DoE will also be directed to enhance energy storage technologies, reduce the costs of solar energy and enable concentrated …

Going beyond the clean energy PPA to decarbonize the grid
Follow @EngelsAngle By matching energy consumption with clean energy produced elsewhere on the grid, power purchase agreements have allowed corporations to take action to address the current and future risks posed by climate change. But, in some cases, there’s an opportunity to go beyond the PPA, and more effectively decarbonize the grid through hourly load …
