Utility Scale PV

The company said it has more than 2.3 GW of renewable generation under construction, and by mid-year will have 606 MW of battery storage capacity under way.

Also on the rise: Rooftop solar enters service at a Ford Motor research center, RAI Energy signs a 20-year PPA for 100 MW of solar energy, and Go Solar Group enters New Mexico’s residential market.

Salt River Project currently has 648 MW of utility-scale solar plants online or contracted and under development across Arizona.

Shoals said it is getting faster at winning new customers: It recently converted a prospect to an order in less than 90 days. 

The three 35 MW projects have to be designed to fit environmental challenges, including hurricane-force winds.

The agreement will result in the construction of around 500 MW of renewable energy and storage projects to ensure that Google data centers will be 90% carbon-free when measured on an hourly basis.

Also on the rise: Ørsted completes its 460 MW Texas solar + storage project, ReneSola JV aims to speed its European build pipeline, equity firm closes its CS Energy buy, and Revolt Energy gets a new owner.

The facility will occupy around 2,000 acres of BLM-administered lands some 13 miles west of Blythe, in Riverside County, California.

The nine-project group was approved by state regulators and will be a critical part of the 16 GW of renewable energy Virginia plans to add by 2035.

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