The Bokpoort CSP plant (50 MW, 9.3 hours of thermal storage) has recently achieved 13 days of continuous operation, showing that solar power backed up with thermal energy storage can provide dispatchable renewable power on demand. This is important news for countries trying to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix whilst […]
The energy sector constitutes a crucial part of critical national infrastructure, for this reason, there has been a steady growth in the successful cyber-attacks over the recent years on this sector. A cyber-attack at these environments might affect the electrical network stability which means not only a huge a business impact, but operators' safety is […]

Across the globe, renewable energy generators are increasingly entering into corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) – a long-term contract that allows corporates to secure a supply of clean electricity for the long-term and at a competitive price. Corporate renewable PPAs can also limit market risk exposure over the contract period and are therefore essential when […]
Investors, businesses and institutions alike are increasingly turning to the carbon market to become more sustainable and offset their carbon emissions. Innovation and new technologies have created new opportunities to finance climate action that not only delivers emissions reductions, but economic, health and social benefits too. But how can we know that carbon offsetting projects […]

Until now, AC-coupled systems have been the solution of choice for coupling large battery storage systems to PV power plants, due to their lower costs. These involve two or more energy systems (PV and storage systems or only storage systems) working separately from one another on the DC side. The energy paths are then coupled […]
Solar home systems, productive use equipment, mini grids, and other decentralized renewable technologies transform the lives and livelihoods of those living in energy poverty, and have provided first time access to millions of low income and rural households. Yet even before the COVID-19 pandemic, estimates projected that hundreds of millions of people would still be […]
