Google aims to help deliver more power to areas where it has data centers, by funding projects that increase the capacity of existing transmission lines using advanced conductors made by CTC Global. Large solar projects near reconductored lines could benefit.
About one-sixth of queued solar capacity now holds signed interconnection agreements, signaling real progress even as developers pull more than 130 GW of projects amid tightening interconnection rules.
The MIT/Stanford spinoff announced a collaboration with American Tower Corporation to evaluate high energy density solar panels for telecom towers.
Enabling renewable projects in the Pacific Northwest to obtain flexible transmission rights could help states reduce electricity costs and meet renewables targets, suggests a report. The approach could also have utility in most of the West.
The partnership aims to reduce interconnection study times by 80%, to address SPP’s portion of a national bottleneck of 2,500 GW of solar, wind and storage projects awaiting interconnection.
Curtailment – or intentional reduction in power production – continues to rise for both solar and wind power in California.
LandGate said as of Q1 2025 datacenters in the U.S. use 200 TWh of electricity annually, up from 147 TWh in 2023, and demand is expected to continue to accelerate.
pv magazine spoke with Garikoitz Sarriegi, senior project manager at Kiwa PI Berlin Ibérica, about the Reuters report published on Wednesday that devices susceptible to spying and sabotage had been found in inverters and batteries from China.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s online is designed to support more efficient siting and permitting for solar projects.
U.S. officials are reassessing the risks posed by Chinese-made devices in renewable energy infrastructure according to news agency. Reuters cites two unnamed sources “familiar with the matter.”
