Empowering the Grid: Overcoming Hurdles to Leveraging Long-Duration Storage for Grid Resilience

As long-duration energy storage (LDES) continues to gain traction, the next challenge is how to effectively integrate these technologies into energy procurement strategies that meet the growing demand for carbon-free energy (CFE). In our post titled “Empowering the Grid: How Long-Duration Storage Can Revolutionize Energy Supply”, we explored the technological landscape of LDES and its […]

The High Cost of Inaction: Why Energy Suppliers Can’t Afford to Ignore Increasing Customer Requests for Reporting

As sustainability and decarbonization demands intensify in the race to net-zero, energy suppliers, such as utilities and retailers, are at a crossroads. Ignoring these demands is not just about sidestepping regulatory penalties or walking back on goals; it could mean losing the trust of customers, investors, and other stakeholders or missing out on prospective customers. […]

Empowering the Grid: How Long-Duration Storage Can Revolutionize Energy Supply

As we strive to scale clean energy and decarbonize grids worldwide, long-duration energy storage (LDES) is emerging as a crucial solution. The demand for reliable, carbon-free energy (CFE) is growing as companies big and small aim to decarbonize and reach ambitious net-zero targets. Utilities and energy suppliers are at the forefront of the energy transition, […]

Harnessing Earth’s Heat: The Rise of Geothermal Energy in America

The quest for sustainable and reliable energy sources has never been more critical. With the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, renewable energy solutions are at the forefront of the energy transition. Among these, geothermal energy is emerging as a powerful contender that only accounted for 0.4% of power generation in […]

Driving Decarbonization: How Green Tariff Programs Empower Utilities and Businesses

In today’s increasingly complex and rapidly changing energy market, advanced energy consumers with ambitious net zero targets are driving the push for cleaner energy solutions to advance decarbonization. Utilities are under pressure to provide innovative pathways for businesses (and households) to access renewable energy, and one of the most common mechanisms is through green tariff […]

Choosing the Right Path: 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy vs Emissions First

In the evolving landscape of energy sustainability, corporate energy buyers face a pivotal choice when moving beyond 100% Renewable Energy through the use of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), bundled or unbundled with physically delivered power, to a more advanced clean energy and decarbonization strategy: embrace 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) or prioritize an Emissions First approach.
