Next 10-UC Berkeley study suggests additional tax revenue or income-based rate structure to make electricity more affordable for Californians

Green Car Congress

What Californians pay is much higher than the true marginal cost of using electricity. This puts an unnecessary cost burden on low- and middle-income households as we transition to using clean electricity. These households are increasingly responsible for covering high fixed costs as total consumption from the grid declines.

EPRI study finds US energy storage market could be as large as 16 GW of capacity if systems can meet $700–$750/kWh and all benefits can be monetized

Green Car Congress

The analysis compared the present value of benefits with the estimated costs for energy storage systems installed in various regions across the US. There are a wide range of potential benefits for energy storage applications and when aggregated, these benefits can justify the costs of installing storage in many places.

Amazon Vies for Nuclear-Powered Data Center

Cars That Think

Putting a data center right next to a power plant so that it can draw electricity from it directly, rather than from the grid, is becoming more common as data centers seek out cheap, steady, carbon-free power. A data center could just connect to the grid and draw from the same supply as everyone else, Clark says.
