Solving renewable energy''s sticky storage problem
The solution lies, of course, in storing energy when it''s abundant so it''s available for use during lean times. But the increasingly popular electricity-storage devices today — lithium-ion

There is a growing need to increase the capacity for storing the energy generated from the burgeoning wind and solar industries for periods when there is less wind and sun.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind have constituted the majority of new global power capacity for several years according to the United Nations 2025 Energy Transition Report. “Despite
In 2026, developers are likely to accelerate solar-plus-storage to serve hyperscaler demand, diversify revenue to manage volatility, and position early in long-duration and distributed storage for the next
When the sun doesn''t shine and the wind doesn''t blow, humanity still needs power. Researchers are designing new technologies, from reinvented batteries to compressed air and
Dozens of large-scale solar, wind, and storage projects will come online worldwide in 2025, representing several gigawatts of new capacity.
Global renewable capacity is set to continue with robust growth in 2025, with forecasts pointing to more than 500 GW of new solar installations, 130 GW of new wind capacity, and over 50
Here, we use 12 state-of-the-art climate models to assess climate change impacts on SDM, quantified by the fraction of demand met by local wind or solar supply.
Solar continues to do the heavy lifting, followed by wind. Solar capacity is forecast to grow 9% in 2025, while wind is expected to jump 21%.
Despite massive capacity additions, wind and solar curtailment rates have remained stubbornly high in northwestern China. Moreover, reliance on fossil fuel-based backup capacity
