The annual Standard Scenarios Report provides a picture of where the U.S. electricity sector is heading each year. The report equips researchers and utilities with the data they need to make decisions about the future of the U.S. grid.
Analysis shows geothermal heat pumps can decarbonize buildings and the grid, while reducing grid transmission needs and saving energy
Before turning down the thermostat really low to keep your pipes from freezing, here are some things to keep in mind.
Microgrids are small electric grids that can operate while disconnected from the main grid. Learn how a new tool that networks multiple microgrids with solar-plus-storage together can lead to community resilience.
The Renewable Energy Potential model can help identify optimal regions for wind plants based on factors like wind resources, land use, topography, and community preferences. It has revealed pathways to Puerto Rico’s renewable energy goals.
Regional wind data from around the U.S. helps improve a national weather forecasting model, which allows utility companies to better plan for windy days.
The university buildings manager has seen firsthand that, with geothermal energy providing heating and cooling, “You don’t have to sacrifice comfort or quality of life to reduce your energy usage.”
The Sunny Awards is a prize competition that recognizes community solar projects.
