The relatively obscure federal agency has jurisdiction over interstate electricity markets and oil and gas pipelines, as well as overseeing the function of grid operators and wholesale markets. Grid operators will have the option to choose a minimum size for energy storage resources to participate, but this cannot be larger than 100 kW. Grid operators have one year to create market rules to allow the participation of energy storage, and another year to implement them. The extent of that benefit will also depend on the details of the rules developed by grid operators. As evidence of this, he notes that all three of Arizona's large utilities are installing substantial energy storage.

Lasco Manufacturing enters carbonated, energy drink markets with two new brands
Lasco Manufacturers Limited has entered the carbonated and energy drink markets, and is going after a near one-third share in the near term, according to Managing Director James Rawle. The company's entry in the carbonated soft drink segment pits it against big rivals Pepsi Jamaica and Wisynco, which bottles for Coca-Cola.

as mentioned in The state's "green shift" supports this claim by striving to transition to alternative energies and become more energy efficient. In 2016 it became the largest shareholder in a new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank which, along with the BRICS-established New Development Bank, invests heavily in green energy. EPAOf course, the situation is not black and white with China "going green" and everyone else sitting idly by. As a major power, it is strengthening its international agency by pioneering these multilateral alternatives, many of which heavily invest in green energy projects.

The newspaper advertisement calling for applications for the positions of CEO and CFO at State-owned power utility Eskom includes definite signs of the reforms that the newly appointed board is aiming to implement at the beleaguered organisation. However, the advertisement goes on to stress that this vision and strategic direction should be developed "to meet evolving energy markets and technologies". The utility's action effectively brought South Africa's globally lauded Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) to a standstill. However, no projects were actually procured from the bid window, owing to the impasse with Eskom. Nevertheless, the fact that the new CEO is specifically mandated to take account of market and technology developments is noteworthy.
