Energy storage technology is seen as a way to help even out the imbalance in supply and demand by storing excess energy during periods of high production and using it when needed. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew When does it make sense to buy electricity directly from the grid?

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

Renewable energy can also be under-utilized when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, but demand is lower than supply. Utilities use incentives to shift demand from peak to non-peak times to avoid having to build new capacity, or to shift consumption to times when renewable energy is plentiful.
