Hydrogen
Big oil and energy companies say strict rules for hydrogen tax credits could kill a nascent industry. Clean-energy advocates say that's dead wrong.
Grid edge
Logical Buildings and Keyframe Capital are behind the push to help multifamily buildings earn money from cutting energy use and curbing CO2 emissions.
Hydrogen
Tens of billions in federal tax credits could build a vital low-carbon hydrogen industry — or increase carbon emissions. We tackle the complexities in a series.
Solar
Two new rulings pare down net metering and deny proposed customer incentives that would have softened the blow. But a new pilot program could boost battery adoption.
Grid edge
An SEC filing suggests the federal Loan Programs Office is gearing up to help lower-income households access rooftop solar and batteries that can help the grid.
Fossil fuels
They can’t keep spending on pipelines, and alternative fuels can't scale. But electric heat and thermal networks could save utility business models and jobs.
Clean energy
Solar, wind and hydropower fluctuate seasonally. At some times of the year, they're now providing as much as a third of electricity to the U.S. grid.
Solar
Allume Energy’s SolShare tech can divvy up solar output among apartment units however property owners choose, delivering more flexibility to an underserved market.
Climatetech finance
The collapse of SVB, a key early funder of community solar, won't halt the sector's growth — but the ripple effects will likely impact all clean-energy development.
Energy efficiency
In partnership with Sol Systems, the tech giant is using a slice of its clean-energy investments for repairs and efficiency upgrades in lower-income communities.
