The Desert Quartzite Solar+Storage Project is in Riverside County, California, and could enter service in early 2024.

Also on the rise: LG will supply RWE with 200 MW of storage, SB Energy signs a PPA for a Texas solar project, and Invenergy lines up financing for a 200 MW Michigan solar project.

The developer has three separate long-term power purchase agreements with utilities for the output.

The BLM manages public lands that it said “have the potential to make significant contributions” to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio.

Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities, and energy transition finance.

Also on the rise: Invenergy will develop 127 MW of solar for Guzman Energy, Silfab doubles its U.S. manufacturing capacity, and our inertia is making us vulnerable to disaster.

Juno is one of five projects SB Energy is building this year, with an additional 1.3 GW scheduled to come online over the next seven months.

The 127 MW Boutique Solar project is in development in the state’s far southwestern corner. 

Disasters continue to reveal the grid’s vulnerabilities, but we rebuild it while expecting a different future outcome. Are we insane or is inertia keeping us from addressing the threat at our door?

Also on the rise: Nextracker wins tacker orders for 1.6 GW of capacity, Greenskies and Vanguard top off a rooftop solar project, and Hurricane Ida knocked out 2k miles of transmission in Louisiana.
