The Growth and Evolution of the EV Charging Industry

white electric vehicles are being charged at the same time

An increasing number of automakers are producing electric models, and the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated $7.5 billion for EV charging infrastructure. The goal is to have more than 500,000 more public charging stations in operation by 2030.…

How the Solar Energy Industry is Evolving

Solar panels capturing the sun light to generate electricity.

Solar energy has added the most generating capacity to the grid for the last five years. In 2023, solar energy contributed 53% of all new electric capacity. This made 2023 the first time in 80 years a renewable resource was…

Charging Ahead: The BESS Revolution

Goleta Energy Storage | 60MW/160MWh (44 Tesla Megapacks)

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are revolutionizing how we generate electricity. But these resources have a catch: they can be intermittent, depending on weather conditions. So, what happens when the sun isn’t shining brightly, or the wind…

How Substations Power Your Renewable Future 

Substation construction at Stanislaus County, CA

In the realm of renewable energy, substation might not be a term that immediately comes to mind. However, these crucial components are vital in generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity from renewable sources. But what are substations, how do they function,…

Catching the Wind: How Wind Power Works

A wind turbine generates wind power in a vineyard field.

The wind has been a powerful force for centuries, used to propel ships across oceans and grind grain into flour. Today, we’ve employed that same wind power to generate clean electricity through wind turbines – a key player in the…

Solar Power: The Shining Star of Renewable Energy

BEI completed electrical and underground construction for ground- and canopy-mounted solar arrays in Vacaville, CA.

Solar power stands as one of the most accessible and versatile renewable energy sources available today. By harnessing the boundless energy of the sun, solar technologies like photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) contribute significantly to our renewable energy…
