A study of 230 electric vehicles found only 25% of charging happens during peak demand periods. Their patterns of use also mean spare battery capacity could be fed into the grid at these times.
The government is rolling out smart meters across the UK, but at present they are providing households with little benefit.
If South Africa fails to implement the 2019 Integrated Resource Plan, it will lead to the demise of Eskom as an energy producer as users turn to alternative electricity sources.
Failure to make the most of Britain’s abundant renewables will mean a costly and unreliable energy supply.
It’s evidence of political solidarity and a strengthening of ties between Ukraine and the EU.
Eskom’s CEO talks debt, power cuts and green energy.
The cost of decarbonising the UK’s energy system is falling disproportionately on the poorest.
Low-carbon energy sources aren’t all equally well-suited to getting us to net-zero emissions.
Electric vehicles are still relatively expensive but a trial to help them power the national grid in times of need could see owners being paid. That could make them a lot more attractive.
Consumers can play their part in reducing carbon emissions by choosing to shift their energy use to when renewable generation is at its daily peak.
The centralised regulation of electric power in Nigeria is stalling progress in the sector. To achieve stable power supply, the country must obey its constitution and decentralise regulation.
Wind and solar power can be intermittent. Should our usage be too?
How the internet has made us terrifyingly vulnerable.
Rwanda has adopted a number of plans to improve its electricity output. There are valuable lessons other African countries can learn from it.
Longannet, the last coal-fired power plant in Scotland, has closed. It might be good news for climate change, but it also signals major problems ahead.
Plaid looks left as energy manifesto fuels talk of a Green-SNP alliance.
A solar eclipse knocks out Europe’s solar power generation while also causing a huge surge once people get bored. It’s a unique energy challenge.
