Energy Storage

The Constitution State’s green bank is accepting proposals from vendors and service providers engaged in distributed generation resources such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery storage, as well as utility-scale solar, storage and offshore wind, among other areas.

Also on the rise: By 2035 IRA will drive $200 billion in solar wages. Three ways states can fix interconnection of distributed solar and storage. And more.

The credit facility with Aiga Capital Partners will enable the development of Spearmint’s BESS portfolio in the Texas ERCOT market.

Georgia Power has more than 850 MW of active energy storage projects under development or in operation across its service territory.

The 45.6 MWh project is interconnected into National Grid’s western New York service territory, a region which has seen a surge of distributed energy system deployment activity in recent years due to grid constraints.

Also on the rise: Solar power crosses the political aisle–$75 million for agrivoltaics research. Orsted to recycle all the solar modules in its U.S. portfolio. And more.

A study by the Cleantech Group highlights the rise to $1.8 billion in investment in the technology. The U.S. Department of Energy envisions this growing to as much as $9 billion by 2030.

The microgrid project is a rare example of the allocation of disaster relief funds for rebuilding Puerto Rico’s grid with solar and storage.

Texas politicians and lobby groups came to a resolution late Sunday night, May 28, which amends recently filed legislation from SB 624 designed to set severe restrictions on the permitting of wind, solar and clean energy assets in the coming years.

American Clean Power reported that 2022 had a 15% slowdown in installations, largely represented in the utility solar market, which had 13 GW fewer deployments in the year.
