Waves  - Waves  assumed that society would prioritize repairing the economy . In Waves  this focus on wealth pushes other societal and environmental pressures into the background, until their relative neglec

Energy Transition and need for flexibility.   There is no denying the fact that electricity is crucial for the world economy to thrive in this and the coming centuries. The demand for electricity increases not only because the human population increases, but also because the social-economic activities of humans are rapidly shifting from manual processes to automated processes, which are essentially driven by electricity. Therefore, electricity becomes inevitable for the susta

UK The main drivers for implements hybrid projects in the UK are: 1.       Advanced grid services : The UK comprises the most advanced standalone battery storage market in Europe, having pioneered since 2017 through the proliferation of grid-services. 2.       Mature Industry :  Due to vast commercialization expertise, the industry is the most welcoming when it comes to innovation such as co-located assets and Hybrid PPAs. The UK is Europe’s largest energy storage market  – b

It is not secret anymore, that the way we are using energy cause damage to our planet. In 2021 we expect to consume 40x energy compare to 1900.  Due to the global warming we will demand 3x energy by 2050 compare today.   To adjust to the new energy reality, organizations are under growing pressure to participate in the globalization effort reduce emission and avoid global warming. Over the past decades the cost of electricity distribution increased by 50% in the U.S. In order

A Net Metering Credit Purchase Agreement should look exactly like a PPA, except that instead of purchasing power, the host purchases net met

Data center operation is one of the fastest growing industries worldwide. The International Energy Agency recently projected that global data center electricity demand will more than double by 2026. In the United States, the national outlook could resemble the global outlook, but is highly uncertain. One key uncertainty that could change the trajectory of data center load growth is the use of generative AI models. Both public and corporate imaginations were triggered by the r
