Installations

Modular cold energy storage projects are in line for a DOE-supported loan for the installation of a 120-building energy storage portfolio in California and various other states.

The state expects to save $2 billion a year, while meeting 18% to 25% of current seasonal peak demand, once the total deployed capacity reaches 6 GW by 2030.

French renewables developer Canada has started building a 93 MW solar project in the Canadian province of Alberta. The plant will feed power into the local grid, which is operated by ATCO Electric.

The Schneider Home platform’s five components include a smartphone app to help monitor and allocate energy resources.

Also on the rise: New electrolyzer to split saltwater into hydrogen. Solar Alliance completes 687 kW distributed generation projects in New York. And more.

The Canadian developer is targeting additional ownership opportunities in 2023 combined with growing revenue from installation division.

With a 600 MW+ project pipeline, active development includes community solar and other projects primarily across the Northeast.
 

Also on the rise: Form Energy to set up iron-air battery manufacturing facility in West Virginia. Utility-scale solar developers went bigger and bolder in 2022. And more.

For a long time global installation projections have come up short in forecasting solar installation volumes, including a big miss in 2022. Is it possible that we could see outpaced growth in 2023, like we saw in 2022?

BloombergNEF solar analyst Jenny Chase says 268 GW of new solar capacity came online in 2022, with annual installations expected to hit 315 GW in 2023.
