With hundreds of thousands of solar and storage workers needed in the next decade, SEIA’s online tool is intended to prepare a workforce for the clean energy transition.

Acquiring a stake in the California 128 MW Big Beau solar-plus-storage facility is the first step the company’s partnership with EDF Renewables on a 1.6 GW portfolio of clean energy projects.

Developed and owned by Silicon Ranch, the solar facility is a significant step by Vanderbilt University toward its goal to power its campus entirely through renewable energy and become carbon neutral by 2050.

The Longroad Energy’s 108 MW Foxhound Solar Project to be acquired by Dominion Energy was the first utility-scale solar project to receive Virginia Pollinator-Smart biodiversity certification.

Recurrent Energy was previously the company’s North American developer, whereas it will now encompass its Global Energy segment.

Electric vehicles can help buffer the grid but policies and regulations are needed along with compensation mechanisms, and the use of software to modulate EV charging to meet the needs of the grid in real time.

The Solar Energy Technologies Office is interested in hearing from manufacturers, suppliers, education and training providers, community-based organizations, and workers’ rights organizations.

Dominion seeks proposals for utility-scale solar projects greater than 3 MW that are located in Virginia, distributed projects of up to 3 MW, and encourages projects on previously developed sites such as former landfills and brownfields.

The challenges with proposed permit conditions are likely to get worse, but drawing on the lessons of the past can help new project proponents navigate the pitfalls and emerge from the permitting process positioned for success.

Despite facing an uphill battle in the Texas legislature, industry experts at RE+ Texas see great opportunities in building a reliable, resilient grid.
