The program, which allows large-scale customers to offset power purchases by securing renewable energy directly from project owners and energy suppliers, has been successful so far in North Carolina.

H.B.1381, which would establish standardized renewable development regulations across the state, has passed in the Indiana House and now moves to the Senate.

The addition to EnergyHub’s Mercury DERMS platform allows utilities to manage devices from any DER provider to deliver grid services, acting as a single platform for utilities to orchestrate behind-the-meter DERs into virtual resources at scale.

HB 539 would require customers using solar panels to pay a fee and adds a grid access fee for customers who sell generated energy back to their utility.

Storage, digital solutions, and the company’s distributed generation services platform will be key to its long-term growth, CEO Tom Werner said in an earnings call.

Also on the rise: MiaSole Hi-Tech ekes out a tandem solar cell efficiency improvement, Trimark tapped to provide SCADA for massive solar+storage project, and JinkoSolar glass supply deal will support 59 GW of production.

More than 1.3 GW will be built or owned by the utility across Florida and the Carolinas in the coming years, driven by the company’s Competitive Procurement for Renewable Energy program.

SolarEdge’s e-Mobility division will supply Fiat with full electrical powertrain units and batteries for the automaker’s E-Ducato light commercial vehicle. 

Ford, Toyota, and the Biden administration have all taken huge steps toward getting more EVs on the roads, and the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy has released a report outlining which states are keeping pace.

A new report from REBA highlights the leading players and found that utility-scale solar power was the most sought-after renewable resource among the country’s major companies.
