24/7 Solar Power: Why Energy and Space Leaders Are Gathering This November
The conversation around energy is changing fast. With growing concerns about energy security, climate targets, and the increasing pressure to meet rising global energy demand, solutions that were once considered far-fetched are now being pursued seriously. Space-based solar power (SBSP) is one of those solutions, and the upcoming International Conference on Energy from Space 2025 […]
‘World’s Largest’ Energy Storage Site Approved as Part of California Solar Project
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved the Darden Clean Energy Project, which the agency said is the first to be fast-tracked under the group’s Opt-In Certification program. The commission said the installation features 1,150 MW, or 4,600 kWh, of battery energy storage, along with a 1,150-MW solar array with about 3.1-million panels. The post […]
