Iowa has made headway in its adoption of solar since 2020 when its utility-scale market took off. Wind energy continues to dominate the generation mix in the state.

Grocery store chain Meijer and pharmaceutical company Charles River Laboratories holds virtual PPA’s for 185 MW of Pisgah Ridge Solar’s 250 MW power output, while a third offtaker has never been identified.

The facility expects to produce  7,000 tonnes of cobalt per year and calls for 28.4 MW of on-site solar power generating arrays to be installed on 105 acres of the company’s 139-acre property in Yuma County, Ariz.

Also on the rise: Distributed generation finance platform raises $25 million. Honda reusing vehicle fuel cells to build 500 kW stationary fuel cell system. And more.

Arvato Supply Chain Solutions is sourcing solar and wind energy in different ways depending on the region, including through a community choice aggregator.
