TX energy challenges could be solved with solar
May 9, 2013 - Texas can help ensure the reliability of its electricity supply by deploying more solar energy, especially during the coming summer months which could be marked by extreme heat and drought conditions, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas' (ERCOT) Seasonal Assessment of Resource Adequacy (SARA) and the semiannual update to its long-term Capacity, Demand and Reserves (CDR) report.

Microgrids for Military Bases to Surpass $377 Million in Annual Market Value by 2018, Forecasts Navigant Research
May 10, 2013 - Microgrids hold strong appeal for the United States Department of Defense (DOD). Microgrids can reduce the amount of fossil fuels consumed to create electricity by networking generators as a system, and can help integrate renewable energy resources (such as wind and solar) for military installations. Perhaps most importantly, microgrids enable military bases – both stationary and forward operating bases (FOBs) – to sustain operations, no matter what is happening on the larger utility grid or in the theater of operations. According to a recent report from Navigant Research, annual revenue from microgrids for stationary military bases and FOBs will reach $377.8 million by 2018. read more>>>
