As we transition from the mild temperatures of spring into the sweltering heat of summer, regions across the country, particularly states with at-risk grids like Texas, brace for the inevitable increase in energy demand. The demand for sweet, sweet air conditioning is sure to put extra pressure on state-specific energy grids, meaning consumers and […]

Where does power quality fit in alongside a growth in U.S. battery storage adoption? The energy revolution continues full steam ahead, even though 2022 hampered U.S. solar market growth in general. Solar continued to account for the majority of new electricity-generating capacity in 2022 according to SEIA research as renewables made up at least 22% […]

Over 10 million people went without power at the height of the crisis – the result was a deep freeze that entered people’s homes, leaving them in the dark with no heat and […]

According to the EIA, in 2020, renewable energies become the second-most used energy source in the US, beating coal energy for the first time ever. As this trend continues, how should states’ energy grids prepare differently for disaster response to a renewable-heavy grid vs. a fossil fuel-heavy grid? Desmond Wheatley, President & CEO of BEAM, […]

Next-generation energy infrastructure is coming online at a nearly unstoppable pace, with everything from EVs, to solar farms, to scaled battery storage, getting fresh federal funding from the Biden administration. As these technologies start to churn through power and add new strain to our existing infrastructure, what do these strains mean for our energy grid? […]

America’s energy infrastructure is aging. That’s a problem on many levels, but, at its core, it means we’re getting further and further away from meeting rising demand. The innovations of the future are exciting, but they need power to match. Without it, our grid is hamstrung. Companies looking to meet this challenge head on […]

Sol-Ark, a veteran-owned company, is on a mission to offer affordable energy independence for family homes and business by building solar, hybrid, battery-based system that boosts renewable energy efforts. That makes Founders Tom Brennan and Bhawna Oberoi uniquely qualified to look back at the recent winter storm that struck Texas, leaving millions without power in […]

The transition to electric vehicles includes considerable transformation. The automobile industry, although innovative, has been stuck in its dependence on gasoline. As countries around the world begin to change the way they think about cars, Spencer Korankye is leading the effort in Ghana, Africa. “EV for Africa is about easy, accessible electric vehicles. There […]
