August 12 eclipse puts high-solar grids in Europe and the US to a live stress test
A solar eclipse on August 12 will briefly pull thousands of megawatt-hours of generation off the grid and push balancing reserves hard. For system operators running high shares of renewables, the natural event doubles as a real-world drill in how fast reserve capacity can respond. The shadow travels from Siberia across the Arctic toward Spain […]
Ireland’s LEAP: data centers from 10 MW must self-generate 80% of their power
Data centers in Ireland of 10 MW and above now have to cover 80% of their own demand from newly built renewable capacity.
