Favorable federal tax policies and state regulatory reform could help the storage sector notch even higher rates of growth.

SB 52 would allow county commissions to put potential utility-scale projects to a community vote.

The portfolio includes a 5 MW/10 MWh front-of-the-meter battery system and brings Agilitas’ total solar and storage development pipeline over 300 MW.

The delayed auction produced a price of $50/MW-day for much of the PJM footprint and saw an increase in cleared capacity for solar and wind generation.

The group advocates for microgrids, calling them a vital part of a healthy energy infrastructure.

The portfolio includes the 150 MW Blackford Solar project and the 200 MW Blackford wind projects; the solar capacity would be among the state’s largest once completed.

The capacity will come across 11 projects expected to begin construction over the course of the summer.

By understanding the challenges that impacted the solar industry, battery material manufacturers will be better equipped to scale next-generation technologies from the lab to have a real-world impact.

Also on the rise: a report highlights long-duration storage challenges, Canadian Solar to sell shares to fund its energy storage business, a Houston office block will sprout rooftop PV, and an Oregon bill expands EV access.

The bill would significantly cut net metering rates paid to rooftop solar customers, and also revise long-term rates and other protections that were promised to existing rooftop solar customers.
