Whether you use gas or another source of electricity to power your home, you are probably aware that your consumption (and your energy bills) has two seasonal peaks. electricity generation is highest in July.
The IEA’s Electricity 2024 report records electricity demand growth easing in 2023 but is projected to accelerate over the next three years through 2026. The update finds that world demand for electricity grew by 2.2% Nuclearpower generation also is expected to reach an all-time high, with growth averaging close to 3% per year.
The consumer watchdog group says that should start with reforming the regulatory structure set in place by 2011’s Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (EIMA). The workings of the 2011 Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act. EIMA was framed by ComEd and its backers as providing certainty to recovering the costs of a $2.6
West pushed electricity demand past available supply, and problems with California’s resource adequacy program and market practices for ensuring adequate grid capacity failed to correct the imbalance. Simply put, the heat waves that blanketed the U.S. 14 and 15 emergencies.
Europe's electricity giants are grappling with the demanding challenge of safeguarding staff, keeping the lights on and contributing to the relief effort — all while rolling ahead with their own energy transition plans. “Industrial and commercial customers are consuming noticeably less energy.
New analysis reveals that on May 24th over half of the continent's power came from renewables, as UK's coal-free run extends beyond 50 days. On a Sunday late last month, 55 per cent of Europe's power was delivered by wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources.
Combined with a noticeable decline in political and economic support for the energy transition, the sector witnessed a standstill in the installation of new turbines, leading to financial losses, project cancellations, and auction failures. This achievement is nothing short of extraordinary, as wind energy generated nearly 2.5
Japan’s electricity sector is facing the triple challenges in the energy transition of energy security, cost and decarbonisation , writes James Tedd from GridBeyond. Imported fossil resources contribute to all three of the challenges of the energy transition. Have you read?

based energy storage developer, is prepping for international expansion supported by a future funding round and leveraging the scale of its ongoing growth in Japan. It has a headstart on many of its competitors having started work on virtual power plant (VPP) trials back in 2013. The energy prices are quite high.
When the electric grid is under strain, many electric utilities use the load shedding technique to lower demand and balance it with energy production. The idea is to turn off the power supply to certain areas on a cyclical basis, for example, two hours ON, then two hours OFF. The actual power gap now exceeds 8GW.
