Solar and wind generation facilities are approximately the same capital cost per unit of rated capacity as fossil fueled generation facilities. However, the renewable generators have a capacity factor approximately one third the capacity factor of the fossil generation facilities.

Climate change has led to more severe natural disasters with profound socioeconomic and infrastructural effects. From 1960 to 2019, there was a 13-fold increase in natural catastrophes worldwide.

Furthermore, the vulnerabilities of the power sector have cascading effects on critical infrastructure such as communication, health and other emergency services. On a power system level, a lack of situational awareness, inadequate system visibility and ageing infrastructure further contribute to a wider disturbance propagation and slowing down of restoration services.

Electricity being the key driver for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation sets the target of providing access to all households.

The recent Russian Energy Week has opened new avenues for collaboration between Russia and African nations, emphasizing the potential benefits for the continent's energy landscape.

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)—a game-changing model that simplifies energy management, optimizes efficiency, and accelerates the integration of renewable energy for large-scale users.

Flexibility is increasingly emerging as a crucial strategy to address all of this at both macro and micro levels. On a macro scale, flexibility is essential for managing energy systems and grids.

The world’s biggest polluter can cut its carbon dioxide emissions by at least 30% by 2035 by continuing trends in the power sector and extending efforts in other industries

Africa's oil and gas industry holds immense potential, with several countries emerging as key players in both production and future exploration.

The independent DEFRs do not require the availability of surplus renewable electricity. In fact, the independent DEFRs would not require the existence of intermittent renewable generation to support a reliable grid. They effectively render the renewable generators redundant; and, redundancy is expensive.

When you shackle the most cost effective and scalable source of energy, fossil fuels, and you subsidize unreliable solar and wind, that wouldn’t otherwise be competitive, energy necessarily becomes more expensive, less reliable and less secure. So again, it’s very simple.

Ultimately, an all-in-one Grid-Edge DERMS solution provides a lower-cost alternative to programs that are siloed, while also creating additional layers of complication for program managers and customers alike.

In a market characterized by increasing competition and volatility, investing in advanced analytics and machine learning technologies is essential for improving the buying (bids) and selling (offers) in the market.

The smart grid market is undergoing rapid transition. The power distribution utilities, technology providers and system integrators are exploring smarter ways to exercise choices in the use of distributed energy resources and take control of the electricity distribution systems.

Inner Mongolia, which leads China in coal production this year, already has 88 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity, with another 170 gigawatts in the pipeline. That’s a combined total that would dwarf the power fleet of Germany.
