Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), the program will provide direct payments in lieu of tax credits in support of an estimated 5,000 biomass, solar, wind, and other types of renewable energy production facilities. Eligible types of renewable energy propertires inlcude: Large and small wind.

Key applications for long-duration energy storage include counterbalancing the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power; leveling the loads and time-shifting periods of peak demand on the grid; and avoiding or delaying the construction of costly transmission and distribution (T&D) assets, among others.

Encouraging growth in Brazil during the first half of the year has dissipated, even as the Industrial Products Tax (IPI) holiday winds down in October. Stimulus measures such as lowered interest rates are offset by tighter credit restrictions in lending, restraining the full-year 2013 sales forecast to approximately 1.3% South America.

In March 2020, the IEA urged governments to put clean energy at the heart of their economic stimulus plans to ensure a sustainable recovery. This resulted partly from lower electricity demand but also from increases in electricity generation by solar PV and wind.

Stimulate Demand: The programs included in the stimulus bill signed last month may help rebound consumer demand, but more aggressive action to move sales into the 12-14 million-unit range as quickly as possible will help inject much needed liquidity into the entire system.

Private sector investment can also drive green stimulus. Despite decreased investment in transportation and wind power, California still captured 51% of the US’ total $6 billion in clean tech venture capital investment in 2019, as large gains were made at companies that focus on geothermal, smart grid, and hydroelectric technologies.

Eric Tom, Correspondent) The picture of our carbon-free energy future is often depicted by a sea of solar panels shimmering in the sun, or orderly lines of giant white wind mills covering a hillside: large structures that capture nature’s gifts. But an increasingly important energy resource is little more than a digital electric meter.

Although EVSE sales have been driven by federal stimulus dollars in 2011–2012, these projects are winding down, so sales will shift to non-publicly funded units. Pike sees sales of EVSE in North America growing almost tenfold, from around 66,000 units in 2012 to 626,000 units in 2020.

Unfortunately, there is very little specific funding for wireless transmission in the stimulus bill that was just signed by the USA President. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources. To electrify transportation, we are looking at new generation so that would be a mix of natural gas and wind.
