One of the state program’s main goals is to “support communities feeling the impacts of the transition from coal.”

In the second of a three-part interview with pv magazine publisher Eckhart Gouras, Tony Seba and Adam Dorr discuss their concept of “SuperPower” and argue that by investing in even more solar PV and wind power, electrons will become so cheap that a Walmart would give them away to draw shoppers.

Also on the rise: Webinar panel discusses energy under Biden, JA Solar supplies modules for 88 MW project, partners develop P2P blockchain trading platform, and Total splits with API over climate, for now.

In an interview with pv magazine publisher Eckhart Gouras, Tony Seba and Adam Dorr discuss their concept of “SuperPower”: by investing in even more solar PV and wind power than the lowest-cost system defined by the “Clean Energy U-curve,” the gain in additional energy, or “superpower,” is exponential to the money invested.

Texas-based Consolidated Asset Management Services said the deal is a natural extension of its existing clean energy offerings.

The newly combined independent power producer brings to the table a 4.2 GW generation portfolio, including 543 MW of solar.

French energy giant Total called the 50/50 joint venture a “first significant step” into the U.S. utility-scale solar market.

The study cites the cost competitiveness of renewables-powered green hydrogen by 2030 as a big game changer for the energy transition.

The report confirms CAISO’s initial findings that a trio of factors were responsible for the blackouts: extreme weather conditions, resource adequacy and planning processes, and market practices. It also outlines steps that already have been taken to better ensure supply adequacy and reliability.
