Microgrids are autonomous, small-scale electricity networks that utilize renewable energy sources and are particularly useful in rural areas lacking traditional energy infrastructure. These decentralized systems offer reliability during extreme weather events when conventional power grids may fail. While they are gaining traction and receiving investments and support, microgrids face challenges in densely populated areas due to land use concerns and …

Astronomers have long wondered how Earth became water-rich—bountiful with abyssal oceans, frigid glaciers and rain that pours from the sky into lakes, rivers and wetlands. Water, which is composed of the first and third most common elements in the universe, is a deceptively simple molecule to form. Yet while the details of its delivery to rocky planets like our own …

Over the past decade or so, study after study has shown the potential for “grid-enhancing technologies” to improve the capacity and reliability of existing transmission grids without needing to deal with the difficult task of building new power lines. Now, a new report shows how these technologies — called “GETs” for short — could clear the way for gigawatts’ worth of clean energy projects to connect to the 84,000-mile transmission network …

New rooftop solar systems are worth a lot less than they used to be in California, following the state’s dramatic changes in net-metering policy. Even batteries added to those solar systems to store power when the sun is shining and feed energy back after the sun goes down — a primary goal of the state’s new rooftop solar rules — are worth less after recent …
