The joint venture will help BP expand its work in sectors such as biofuels and EV charging, the company said.

Solar will play an outsized role in the world’s ability to meet the goal set by COP28 power players. But other renewables need to balance the mix.

With Japan’s new power market structure in place, Trailstone is betting the time is right for its risk management tools.

It’s high time to prioritize speed when deploying renewables — and reduce investment risk to boot.

The tech giant's data and climate lead Savannah Goodman says performance tracking and policy are up next.

A utility-led project shows the promise — and challenges — of developing climatetech projects on used sites.

An approaching deadline in the state’s microgrid tariff procedure brings policy problems into the spotlight. But a tariff may not be a panacea.

It’s time to start thinking outside the grid.

The companies will collaborate on energy storage deployments, to the tune of 10GWh over the next five years.

As it pursues $50 million in Series B funding, battery manufacturer Acculon is betting on a convergence of market preference and regulatory support.

The current market set-up doesn’t always recognize the benefits that emerging and existing storage technologies provide to the grid.

Seventeen projects addressing transmission “logjam” received a combined $1.6 billion in federal funding.

With a retiring workforce and mountains of data, next generation tools are arriving right on time.

“I don't worry about the tech being good enough,” said Microsoft’s Hanna Grene. “I worry about how we change the way we’re working and approaching these problems.”

In a Thursday hearing, lawmakers asked questions about the energy intensity of data centers and cybersecurity risks.

The grid’s new $3.5 billion pot will support energy storage, new transmission lines, and microgrid deployment.

But it’s a “tension-filled discussion” inside utilities, said Elizabeth Cook of Pittsburgh’s Duquesne Light Company, “because there is an urgency to keep the power on”

David Groarke, of Indigo Advisory Group, said utilities are taking “incremental steps” toward realizing artificial intelligence’s potential

Climate Change AI’s Priya Donti said it’s time to “match our practice to our vision” when it comes to using the technology for the grid.

Renewables prices plunged. Projects multiplied. Now, what to do with the extra electrons?

It’s time for electricity providers to choose virtual power plants.

Artificial intelligence could be transformative for the grid. But taking full advantage would mean a dramatic shift in how utilities do business.

National Grid’s Carlos Nouel said “meaningful applications” of AI for the grid are still a few years out.

The grid is entering its automation era.

By developing proprietary AI models, the utility is pushing for more rapid adaptations.

The variability of renewables creates new challenges for the grid — but using AI for better weather predictions can help with capacity planning.
