The bond between solar energy and storage is undergoing a profound transformation. What started as a supplemental technology to reduce renewable energy intermittency is now becoming a defining prerequisite to how solar projects are financed, built,...
When a complex, entrenched system faces immense strain, it can either generate the capacity for transformational change or distort in unproductive ways. The North American power grid is experiencing exactly this tension. After years of relative...
Digital substations are a key component in the ongoing digital transformation of electric power systems. While this modernization brings unprecedented efficiency and visibility improvements, it also opens the door for potential cybersecurity issues....
In automotive industry offices across the country (or even the world), lively debate continues as to what lies ahead in terms of powering the vehicles of the future. Is it electricity, is it gas or diesel, hydrogen, or some mix of everything we...
By May 15, 2026, all Generator Owners (GO) and Generator Operators (GOP) with inverter-based resource (IBR) power plants rated at 20 MVA or greater and connected at 60 kV or higher must register with NERC Category 2 (Cat 2). With the timeline fast...
What expanding reliability requirements mean for inverter-based resources, legacy renewable assets, and the future of operational compliance. As renewable generation, battery storage, and hybrid assets take on a larger role on the North American...
The remarkable thing about the emerging hydrogen economy is how many objections are given and from so many different angles as for why it can’t happen. There are two major components required to make green hydrogen through the...
The shift to utility-scale renewable energy is the most significant transformation of the power landscape in a century, and a vital step toward a resilient and carbon-free future. It is also placing unprecedented demand on traditional utilities...
Uncertainty has become the only constant. Since 2020, we’ve lived through a pandemic, a market crash, a supply-chain crisis, and runaway inflation, all while racing to decarbonize an economy that barely had time to catch its breath. That sprint...
