The U.S. Department of Energy''s Office of Electricity and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory broke ground on a $75 million facility that will boost clean energy adoption
For the second time in 2024, the Pacific Northwest has set a new record for peak seasonal power demand. A heatwave that hit the region in early July sent demand on the grid surging to 33,300 MW, which
Electricity demand is surging far past the capacity of the Northwest''s aged power grid; we need new power sources and updated transmission methods.
Having failed to add enough green-energy sources or any new gas-fired power, the Northwest buys electricity from elsewhere, at high prices, during extreme weather.
Whether you''re a policymaker, utility manager, or a curious eco-nerd (we see you), this article unpacks why the Pacific Northwest''s energy storage strategy matters.
OE dedicated its new Grid Storage Launchpad, a state-of-the-art 93,000 square foot facility hosted at DOE''s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) on Aug. 12-13. The GSL, an energy storage research and
The GSL, an energy storage research and development (R&D) facility, is a critical step on the path to getting more renewable power on the system, supporting a growing fleet of electric vehicles, making the grid more
This study models a zero-emissions Western North American grid to provide guidelines and understand the value of long-duration storage as a function of different generation mixes, transmission
The power shortage problem faced by the Sichuan power grid, which also has a high share of renewable energy, is a wake-up call for the Northwest region to seek a balance between
Taking the energy storage built in the metering outlet of wind farms and photovoltaic power plants as an example, we use the abovementioned model to simulate and analyze the energy storage

This report addresses several key questions in the broader discussion on the integration of renewable energy resources in the Pacific Northwest power grid.
Without new power sources, transmission lines and battery storage, the region''s long-standing and reliable energy system could falter when people need electricity the most.
The electricity sector continues to undergo a rapid transformation toward increasing levels of renew-able energy resources—wind, solar photovoltaic, and battery energy storage systems
Energy storage is one of several sources of power system flexibility that has gained the attention of power utilities, regulators, policymakers, and the media.2 Falling costs of storage
NorthWestern Energy runs the largest transmission balancing area in Montana. The Bonneville Power Administration operates a large system in the northwest part of the state. The Western
Extreme weather events pose significant risks to power grid stability due to their severe consequences and potential for widespread failures. Energy storage systems hold great
The Northwest states passed aggressive goals to decarbonize the power supply but left it to the Bonneville Power Administration to build the transmission lines needed for wind and solar.
Energy Northwest recognizes the challenges facing the energy sector today. As providers of power generation, we understand the critical importance of maintaining a balanced electric grid
In the coming years, renewable energy generation and new power systems will become the dominant trends toward alleviating extreme climate change and realizing carbon
