Burgum’s stance reflects a broader shift in energy policy under the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled a strong preference for fossil fuels over renewables. Trump has been a vocal critic of wind energy, ...

Will record heat once again take down the Texas power grid? Officials are worried

May 28, 2024 -

For the second time in a week, record heat drove up the energy load in Texas to the point that brownouts and blackouts were possible. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) says everything is fine and not to worry, but outside experts are not so sure.

ERCOT, which provides electricity for 27 million customers, projected that power demand would peak at 75,296 megawatts (MW) on May 24 and 75,952 MW on May 26. The current record for the month of May is 72,261 ...

Water-based battery with potential to store solar and wind energy developed by researchers

June 13, 2018 - brownouts and blackouts might bring down the whole grid.

Most utilities use fossil fuel power plants that are only fired up when needed. Other power companies use pumped hydroelectric storage, where extra energy is used to pump water back into the reservoir for additional power during peak demand. High-capacity batteries are intended to serve in this same role for solar and wind energy. They can store excess power during low demand and release it as needed.
