THE BUSINESS OF STANDALONE GRID-SCALE ENERGY STORAGE

January 16, 2020

In 1800, Alessandro Volta invented the first battery, which came to be known as the voltaic pile. It was the first device to provide a steady supply of energy. Batteries have come a long way since then. In the 1970s, lithium-ion batteries were commercialized for the first time. Now they are a crucial component in revolutionizing and enabling continued renewable penetration on the US electrical grid.

FRED ENERGY

whitePaper | June 8, 2022

Due to supply and demand, this will contribute trillions of dollars to the energy corporates but will lead to above inflation price increases for consumers. The overall effects will be felt by all of us but those most vulnerable such as low-income earners and the elderly will be unable to meet the growing energy costs causing them to fall into what is termed “fuel poverty”. Energy suppliers are forecast to move towards greener alternative energy sources and this is great news for the environment, but it will have little effect on the consumer at cost level

Solar Power In Your Community

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

Installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has grown rapidly in the United States over the past decade, reaching nearly 74 gigawatts-AC as of the end of 2020. Approximately one-third of this capacity (28 gigawatts) is distributed PV, including residential, community, and commercial solar installations (Davis et al. 2021). A combination of technology cost declines, federal incentives, and state policy support have driven increased deployment and enabled more communities to access the benefits of PV. Increasingly, solar is playing an important role in local plans such as resilience planning, sustainability planning, and climate action planning.
