Corruption and governance risks threaten a just
A landmark report has thrown light on corruption and governance risks facing the renewables sector. It urges industry-led
Amber's proposed flywheel energy storage project is the culmination of several years of flywheel R&D. Energy storage technology that does not show degradation can be applied to solve multiple problems the current aging electric grid faces.
This project explored flywheel energy storage R&D to reach commercial viability for utility scale energy storage. This required advancing the design, manufacturing capability, system cost, storage capacity, efficiency, reliability, safety, and system level operation of flywheel energy storage technology.
The report cites US energy officials and warns that comms devices—including cellular radios—have been found in solar inverters, which are used to connect solar panels to electricity grids, and solar batteries acquired from multiple Chinese providers.
That has created a vulnerability that suddenly feels more real, as Reuters is reporting that experts have discovered hidden communications equipment in various Chinese-manufactured solar energy parts.
