Tesla Energy to be part of ‘change in U.S. generation portfolio’: DOE

Teslarati

Battery energy storage is following similar growth in large renewable energy projects, particularly solar and wind. As noted by the EIA, electric utilities are learning that to smooth the supply of energy from these irregular sources, they need to build storage where peak energy can be held for later use.

How EVs Charge Your Sustainability Strategy

Blink Charging

The source of the electricity – whether renewable sources like wind, solar, or water, or nonrenewable sources like coal – is also important. And while the energy grid is slowly becoming more “clean” as suppliers switch to renewable sources, business owners can also make a difference.
