Why Rate Design in New England Needs a Refresh
Looking ahead to 2030 and then beyond to 2050, the majority of New England states have set ambitious clean energy goals. The growing adoption of new technology empowers energy customers to play a direct role in making these goals happen and to make their own energy choices in ways not available 10 years ago. But one piece of this puzzle is still largely missing: ...

Offshore-Windenergie als europäische Ressource
Die Stromerzeugung durch Offshore-Windkraftanlagen ist eine besondere Form des Strombezugs, weil es bisher nur wenige Erzeugungsanlagen und auch nur einzelne Stromleitungen gibt. Sogenannte Offshore-Netze – insbesondere zwischen den EU-Staaten – gibt es bisher nicht. Diese Tatsache birgt aber auch eine große Chance, da die Offshore-Energieerzeugung eine Schl...

Offshore wind should be seen as a joint European resource
Offshore wind is a special resource. The fact that there is little legacy infrastructure, coupled with the impressive European ambition of expanding the current capacity of 12 GW to 300 GW by 2050, raises an important question: How can we develop only the minimum infrastructure needed, at lowest cost, and operate it to the maximum benefit of European consumers?
