This stretch, called Iris, will link Iceland to Ireland. The world’s largest pumped-energy-storage station—a technique that stores energy by pumping it uphill to a reservoir—is set to complete phase two of its construction in 2023. But now, Électricité de France (EDF) says they are in the final stretch.

Setec Powerr

Johnson signed a bill at the end of 2020 that would ban the sale of cars that run entirely on internal combustion engines from 2030. Under the new law, all new homes built in the UK will require at least one “smart” charger, which must be able to switch on during off-peak hours when demand on the UK grid is lowest.

Lean Software, Power Electronics, and the Return of Optical Storage

Cars That Think

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. Ireland, South Korea, and Taiwan are among the other countries with bold floating wind ambitions. But the shallow waters east of London are already packed with wind turbines.
