Utility Scale PV

The French Power giant has entered into a power contract that includes a long-term hedge as well as a 35 MW, 4-hour battery, in order to provide value.

MMEX Resources has begun negotiations for additional acreage at the site of its distillation plant and refinery to add 75-100 MW of solar power. The company already has 1 MW installed.

The two-phase Gemini Solar Project would be larger than any operational single-site solar project in the United States known to pv magazine.

A new study finds that from 2013 through 2015, distributed PV reduced peak solar hour mean wholesale electricity prices by 8–9%, avoiding costs of $650–730 million.

The developer has energized Phase 1 and 2 of its Mount Signal 3 project which it expects to be fully commissioned and online by the end of 2018. The project is the second of three plants at one site which total almost 800 MW of solar power.

The utility is opening an RFP for utility-scale projects, as well as offering a solar rebate program for rooftop systems.

While overall global investment in clean energy saw a decrease of just 1% year-over-year in the first half of 2018, solar’s share dropped 19% following changes to China’s PV policy and lower project costs, says Bloomberg New Energy Finance. It forecasts this trend to continue throughout the year.

Innergex purchased the rights to develop the massive Phoebe solar power plant on the day that the project received a full notice to proceed with construction.

Sempra Energy is selling off a portion of its energy generation assets as part of an activist shareholder’s push to “optimize” its portfolio.
