Most people who live near large-scale solar projects have positive or neutral feelings about the solar project and only 18% would be opposed to additional solar projects, found a national survey published in Frontiers in Sustainable Energy Policy.
A study by North American Electric Reliability Corporation found that ultra-fast response times of batteries help to stabilize the grid better than slower thermal sources.
A survey of mines closed since 2020 and those planned to close by 2030 present an opportunity for installing nearly 300 GW solar on already-developed lands, finds a report from Global Energy Monitor.
A report from HelioVolta finds connector issues in four out of five solar projects in the United States and details what can be done from procurement to field inspections to minimize risk.
Renewables remain cost-competitive in the United States despite rising natural gas competitiveness, according to Lazard’s 2025 “Levelized Cost of Energy+” report, which estimates combined cycle gas at $0.048/kWh to $0.107/kWh, solar at $0.038/kWh to $0.212/kWh, and nuclear at $0.141/kWh to $0.220/kWh.
The Institute for Local Self-Reliance releases its quarterly community solar tracker, which updates capacity in states with formal programs that allow non-utility ownership.
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 increased manufacturing capacity supports the growing solar generating capacity, with solar and storage accounting for 82% of all new generating capacity added to the grid. However, the House bill coupled with rising tariffs threaten the trajectory.
Meeting the proposed operational deadline coupled with permitting delays and supply chain challenges means developers would have to rush to start and finish projects in 3.5 years. Cleanview quantifies the enormous amount of clean energy capacity at risk.
Iowa State University is using a $1.8 million grant to study whether higher solar arrays create better growing conditions for horticultural crops and beekeeping production.
