How Grid-Scale Battery Storage Earns Money From Frequency Response

Big batteries do not just store energy for later, they get paid to keep the electricity grid's heartbeat steady, and understanding how reveals a lot about how modern power markets actually work.

Green hydrogen explained: the promise, the physics and the catch

Green hydrogen is often billed as a clean fuel for everything, but the energy losses involved in making and using it mean it will likely end up reserved for the jobs electricity cannot easily do.

Why the grid is turning to long-duration energy storage

As wind and solar supply more of Britain's electricity, storing energy for hours or days at a time is becoming as important as generating it in the first place.

Small modular reactors, explained

Small modular reactors promise cheaper, faster nuclear power built in factories rather than on site, but the technology still has significant hurdles to clear before it can deliver on that promise.
