"Chicken Little" claims about power outages being caused by the transmission grid being overtaxed do not stand up to scrutiny, says columnist Steve Huntoon.

Intersect Power is seeking approval for two 1.15-GW solar-plus-storage projects in California using a streamlined permitting process.

The growth of battery storage resources in the West largely contributed to an "uneventful" summer on the grid, despite record-breaking peak loads and temperatures.

FERC Commissioner David Rosner told members of the American Clean Power Association that one of his main goals is to successfully manage the energy industry’s transition.

The Rhode Island Energy Facilities Siting Board ruled it has jurisdiction over large battery storage projects, overruling precedent.

About four years after PJM stakeholders shelved deliberations on rules around how battery storage can be used to address transmission constraints, the topic has been reopened.

PJM is trying to figure out how the development of new capacity can be sped up as a growing number of resources have cleared the interconnection queue but not entered commercial operation.

Hybrid power plants, especially projects combining solar and storage, represent a growing amount of new generation online and in interconnection queues across the U.S., signaling a shift in how renewable power can be integrated into electric power markets, according to a new report from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
