Wind and solar farms power Great Britain’s grid to greenest ever summer

"Reliance on fossil fuels fell in August to less than one-fifth of all electricity generated across country"

“But gas in the mix still threatens energy bills"

94.1% of all new U.S. power plants (62.8 GW) in 2024 expected to be #WindWaterSolar (including storage)

Wind: 11.3%
Solar: 58.9%
Batteries: 23.9%
Total: 94.1%

New study shows steep decrease in renewable energy costs with no signs of slowing

"the cost of solar power has dropped 87% and battery storage by 85% in the past decade"

Remarkable savings made possible by clean energy transition: 'Reliable and inexpensive'

"the study found that the 145 countries looked at could reduce their annual energy costs by 61% by fully transitioning to clean, renewable energy"

U.S. added 32.4 GW of solar PV in 2023, bringing total to 177 GW.

The 32.4 GW represents 53% of all new electricity generating capacity.

Solar expected to rise to 673 GW by 2030.

Sensitivity of the battery system cost by world region between $60/kWh (cell cost $25/kWh) in 2035 (average between today and 2050) (red) and $90/kWh (red+green) with 100% #WindWaterSolar. If we are at a cell cost in 2024 of $56/kWh, cell costs may be below $25/kWh by 2035

World's largest EV battery maker says prices in 2024 will drop 50% to $56/kWh

This is gargantuan - and will accelerate EV cars, trucks, trains, ships, planes and BESS

Sit back and watch oil running for the exit by 2030

We've entered a new era of corporate renewables buying. Annual matching standards just don't cut it. "The act of buying clean electricity is no longer really sufficient," says @wilson_ricks of Princeton. Hourly matching is a must for carbon impact: https://t.co/SR7uJtWQWg

Wow!

World CO2 emis did not rise Jan-Jun 2023 due to 12% growth in wind+solar, "the only two electricity sources that significantly increased in the global power mix"

Wind+solar produced 14.3% of world electricity H1 2023, a 1.5% increase

New Zealand is partnering with BlackRock Investment Company to reach 100% renewable electricity

Government is "helping BlackRock launch a $1.2 billion fund to ramp up investments in wind and solar generation, & battery storage and green hydrogen"

Moss Landing: World’s biggest battery storage project is now even larger (0.75 GW/3 GWh)

Not only that, @California_ISO now has over 5 GW of batteries installed

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

This is known but good to be repeated

Combining wind and solar, which are complementary in nature, in a hybrid plant at the same location

-reduces storage needs+costs
-reduces land needs
-reduces transmission line needs
-increases transmission line use
