Renewable Energy Trends

Big data can boost the transition to renewable energy sources much faster, says WSJ Energy Expert Jason Bordoff.

Maryland is considering hosting the nation’s largest offshore wind farm. Energy storage can help capture the energy for when its needed most.

Developments in the US and China are eroding Europe's lead in renewable energy. But if the EU could harness the power of the big data, it could increase outputs from wind energy by 20 percent - without much building.

Research may be toppling one of the strongest objections to renewable energy: that wind and solar are not reliable enough to support the grid 24-7-365, so they need fossil and nuclear backup. Scientists are finding solutions to the variability and uncertainty of wind and solar that are, in some cases, relatively simple and cheap.

Wind, having passed coal, now getting competitive with natural gas.

With rooftop solar energy becoming a viable option for customers and energy storage on its way, utilities have a lot to worry about.
