With 20GW+ of wind and solar generation connected to the UK’s electricity system and more to come, there will be an increasing need for energy storage.
As in Australia, the UK’s energy storage revolution is about to get under way.
A report prepared by KPMG LLP at the request of the UK’s Renewable Energy Association (REA) indicates storage may soon be economic for both domestic and business prosumers in certain circumstances.
Kyocera Corporation and Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation have announced Kyocera TCL Solar has recently commenced construction of a 13.7MW floating solar farm in Japan.
Originally announced in late 2014 (and originally 13.4MW), the floating solar project will be comprised of approximately 51,000 solar modules that will generate an estimated 16,170 megawatt hours of electricity per year.
On average, companies participating in the RE100 initiative are at the halfway mark of meeting their 100% renewables-sourced electricity goals.
RE100 is a collaborative initiative involving dozens of major companies that have committed to 100% renewable electricity. Aside from the direct positive environmental impact, the initiative helps set an example to other companies large and small to follow suit.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $18 million in funding for six new projects concerned with integrated, scalable and economical solar + storage technologies.
“Energy storage, solar PV and smart grid technologies experienced incredible growth in 2015, and we expect they will play an increasingly important role in reaching the nation’s climate and clean energy goals in the coming years,” said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Danielson.
