ManagEnergy – Renewable Energy
Electric power loss refers to the reduction or waste of electric energy as it is being transmitted or distributed from its source to the end user. This can occur due to various reasons such as resistance in the transmission lines, transformers, and other components, as well as inefficiencies in the generation and distribution processes. Power…
Electric service providers secure power from generation resources, such as coal and gas-fired plants, hydroelectric dams and nuclear plants, and then distribute the electricity to consumers. In deregulated areas, suppliers compete for your business, offering better rates and a wider range of plans. Some offer time-of-use rates that adjust to your energy consumption patterns. Electric…
National Grid provides natural gas and electricity to customers in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and the New England region. The company also operates a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage facility in Fields Point, NY. National Grid’s “fossil-free vision” aims to eliminate fossil fuel from its gas networks, replacing it with renewable natural…
In the energy industry, we often hear of plans that offer “nights free electricity.” These plans are designed to encourage residential customers to use electricity during off-peak hours. These free plans can save you money, but it’s important to understand how they work. It also helps to know how your energy usage has changed since…
In 2002, the state of Texas deregulated its electricity market, allowing most residents to choose their electric provider. This gives them the ability to shop for an energy plan that fits their needs and lifestyle. In regulated states, utility companies deliver power directly to customers’ homes. In deregulated areas, the electricity is delivered by Retail…
Switching power suppliers are an excellent choice for applications that require high-efficiency and compact designs. They offer many advantages over linear power supplies, including higher efficiencies, lower weight and longer hold up times. SMPSs use fast switching solid-state switches capable of operating at high switching frequencies to convert AC input voltage into regulated DC outputs.…
There is a new scam going around Carlisle that involves a representative from Residents Energy who will come to your home and tell you that they can take the charges on your Comed and People gas bill and cancel it. They are very pushy and will try to get you to sign up for their…
The national grid is a huge network of overhead cables that carry electricity from power plants to consumers. It uses high voltage to minimise the amount of waste heat energy lost in these cables, so it is a very efficient way of delivering electricity around the country. The national grid also manages power production to…
Governments must invest in renewable technologies that are cost-effective and reliable to achieve their energy policy goals. Governments can provide support to clean energy companies in many ways, including through tax incentives and other financial policies. Among these are the production tax credit (PTC) and the investment tax credit. These credits can be extended to…
