Attorney Seth Hilton discusses “a new dynamic for energy storage resources” around resource adequacy in California’s CAISO market.

Patent lawyer Ben Lincoln from Potter Clarkson looks at gravity energy storage and what sort of IP is looking to be protected.

New guidance from the US government clarifying rules around tax credit incentives for energy storage and offshore wind energy has been welcomed by clean energy trade associations.

When it comes to realising the benefits of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives, the US energy storage industry has barely scratched the surface of what’s possible, according to FlexGen’s Yann Brandt.

The Q3 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar and storage in the US, one year on from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
