In 2006, the government of Rhode Island introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all gas and electric customers. Obligated parties include investor-owned utilities. The obligation seeks to reach in 2015 electricity savings of 2.5% of 2012 sales (193 603 MWh) and gas savings of 1.0% of 2012 gas sales (376 915 MMBtu). Eligible energy efficiency measures include lighting; building fabric; heating system; HVAC; new construction; appliances; process improvements; motors; and drives. Savings calculations are based on a combination of metered consumption and engineering estimates. Monitoring and verification studies are done on a programme-specific basis. RI piggybacks on MA studies and contracts out with third parties. Periodic overall studies are done specific to RI.

China's Battery Giant Bets Big on Sodium as Lithium Volatility Persists

The world’s largest battery maker is taking a step back from the eclectic vehicles sector to refocus its efforts on energy storage. China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (better known as CATL) has been building up its energy storage portfolio for years now, but the company’s transition away from EVs and toward energy systems has been supercharged by the artificial intelligence boom. Five years ago, just 2 percent of CATL’S sales came from battery storage. Today, storage accounts for a full quarter of the megacompany’s…
