Apparently, such a system would cost well over the current cost of the property, weigh several dozen tons, take up even more space than I thought, AND make as much noise as legally allowed (that’s <65 dB per module, of which there would be a few dozens)

I’m annoyed that this isn’t usually part of the discussion and I’m even more convinced that grid scale batteries are not viable as a commercial service

… which kind of validates my thinking that “virtual battery” services aren’t batteries in any technical capacity

What gives? Where am I wrong?

Our partners in O-CEI Horizon Pilot 8 attended last week's #BRIDGE GA in Brussels, joining EU projects and energy stakeholders to exchange on smart energy and citizen engagement.

Pilot 8 presented the work carried out on social acceptance, focusing on social engagement and the acceptability of energy flexibility in urban and tourist areas.

Why saving power makes economic sense in the transition era | The-14

Saving power is cheaper than generating electricity in the energy transition. Efficiency cuts costs, reduces demand, and delivers same services affordably today

This is an environmental justice issue, btw.

To reduce those emissions, Glencore must do major upgrades at Horne, which has been at the center of controversy for years after medical data showed the population of Rouyn-Noranda had a higher incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than the provincial average.

Ed's Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List 03.29.26

2026, #11 Hi there! Welcome to Ed’s Clean Energy & Sustainability Jobs List, where we know climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, oil, and fossil gas (“natural” gas), and that burning fossil gas in our homes makes us sick. There are 64 jobs and
