Recently the world’s largest solar thermal plant went online in the Mojave Desert not far from Los Angeles that is expected to produce 377 megawatts […]
Energy utilities are searching for a solution to the death spiral – a circumstance created by the uptake of rooftop solar panels resulting in more and more electricity consumers paying a smaller percentage to utilities for their services. The result is an electricity network with set infrastructure costs spread across a decreasing customer base, which ultimately forces […]
Climate Spectator has published figures spelling trouble for either the Australian Renewable Energy Agency or the One Million Solar Roofs Programme, with a funding shortfall leaving one or the other destitute. Leading up to the 2013 Federal election, the Coalition made numerous assurances that it supported ARENA while keeping mum regarding specific budgetary allowances. Pre-election […]
