The demise of battery firm Powin puts its 11 GWh of grid storage around the world in jeopardy. Here’s how it went from propping up southern California’s grid to filing for bankruptcy. canarymedia.com/articles/energ…
A heat pump pilot program with PSE enabled DNV to amass a solid foundation of data and insights for utilities, contractors, and customers to understand the value of heat pumps as an effective tool for decarbonization. #sponsored canarymedia.com/articles/spons…
It’s getting easier to road trip in an EV. Here’s how quickly public EV chargers are popping up around the U.S.: canarymedia.com/articles/ev-ch…
This chart shows the U.S.’s public EV charger network is growing faster than ever — though federal funding cuts may slow its roll. canarymedia.com/articles/ev-ch…
Rolling back a North Carolina climate law that mandates Duke Energy cut emissions could cost the state more than 50,000 jobs and billions of dollars in new investments, a new study finds. canarymedia.com/articles/clean…
Great article by @jeffsaintjohn @CanaryMediaInc on VPPs including @SolarNeighbors @votesolar canarymedia.com/articles/virtu…
Senate Bill 266 would cost North Carolina more than 50,000 jobs annually and cause tens of billions of dollars in lost investments. canarymedia.com/articles/clean…
Rooftop solar is in crisis. @VoteSolar’s Sachu Constantine sees pairing solar with batteries to create virtual power plants as the industry's path to survival. canarymedia.com/articles/virtu…
PJM has failed for years to get more power on its grid, and now, ratepayers are about to pay the price. canarymedia.com/articles/energ…
As rooftop solar gets hammered, virtual power plants offer a way forward @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/virtu…
New Hampshire’s popular municipal solar program is likely dead after the new state budget raided $15 million from its renewable energy fund. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…
I think it's safe to say that nobody at Valar Atomics is going to be splitting the atom, Marty. utahinvestigative.org/who-is-valar-a…
North Carolina Republicans want to override the governor’s veto and repeal Duke Energy’s mandated climate goals. Doing so could cost the state more than 50,000 jobs and tens of billions of dollars in lost investments, a new study finds. canarymedia.com/articles/clean…
Just to put a finer point on how unrealistic DOE's alarmist report is, here's a chart from the utility industry showing the sector adds 30 to 50 GW of new generation each year! Storage not included! Yet DOE assumes three straight years of ZERO. eei.org/-/media/Projec…
Nice piece that exposes a dumbfounding assumption hidden in DOE's recent report: no new power plants connect after 2026. This impossible constraint renders DOE's report practically useless.
Reminder that 50 GOP Senators (+Vance) saw fit to confirm an alcoholic who never served above the Major rank and had paid off women to silence allegations of assault to run the Department of Defense. We never should have gotten to this point. thedailybeast.com/pentagon-whist…

EVs had a decent quarter. The next could be record-breaking. @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/elect…
There's a new solar power record in Texas: 28,451 megawatts. It happened on the same day Texans used the most power so far this year. It was the first time demand was over 82 gigawatts. Solar produced over 25% of power demand throughout the day, including on peak. #txenergy
This Ohio bill would pave the way for underground carbon storage — and oil and gas companies are steering it through the legislature. canarymedia.com/articles/carbo…
The EPA just took the first of what could be many steps to undercut coal ash regulations, making more drinking water supplies vulnerable to the toxic pollution. canarymedia.com/articles/fossi…
