BESS Inverters Step Up as Grid Stabilizers in a Post-Inertia Power System
As coal plants and gas turbines retire across Europe, they take something critical with them: the rotational mass that once kept power grids stable. Now battery energy storage systems are being asked to fill that gap — if their inverters can rise to the challenge. The physics are straightforward. Spinning generators carry kinetic energy that […]
PSE&G Pays Customers $5,000 to Join Its Virtual Power Plant
New Jersey utility Public Service Electric & Gas is offering homeowners a substantial financial package to install battery storage systems — and in return, hand the utility some control over when those batteries discharge. Under the GridSmart Battery pilot, participants receive a $5,000 upfront incentive plus access to up to $25,000 in zero-interest financing, repaid […]
US Clean Energy Pipeline Faces 540 GW Loss as Federal Policy Shifts, NRDC Finds
Between 390 and 540 gigawatts of planned wind, solar, and battery storage capacity could disappear from the United States over the next decade if the federal government proceeds with canceling Inflation Reduction Act tax incentives, imposing fresh tariffs, and buying out offshore wind leases. That projection comes from a new Natural Resources Defense Council analysis […]
