The utility is expanding an earlier RFP and wants to procure up to 150 MW of solar PV capacity by early 2023.

AEP Energy signed on for the first 480 MW of a planned 1.65 GW solar energy facility planned for 12,000 acres in northern Indiana.

Also on the rise: Talen Energy has plans for energy storage at two fossil power plants, and a novel CSP technology passes a test that has its backers breathing a little easier.

Using Normal, Illinois, as a … well, normal … case study, we look at how a roof’s latitude, pitch, and azimuth affect energy output.

Also on the rise: CPS Energy wins a round in its lawsuit against ERCOT over February’s big storm, Mitsubishi Power aims to develop a second green hydrogen project, Advanced Power taps Bechtel for a solar project, and the Indian Point nuclear plant in New York closes for good.

Regulators agreed to keep net metering in place while transitioning to Dominion Energy’s existing time-of-use rate schedule for new solar customers.

The two projects will fill part of the 1,600 MW of long-duration energy storage that state regulators have said is needed by 2026.

Also on the rise: Zero-emission vehicle builder Hyzon Motors plans a Saudi production plant, and a project to use retired EV batteries for solar energy storage advances in a nationwide competition.

The company’s latest sustainability reports outlines efforts to increase renewable penetration and cut emissions, but are these changes coming soon enough?

Here are three basic models most businesses should weigh as they consider how they can best adopt solar energy.
