The utility-scale solar project is expected to contribute $17 million in tax revenues over the first 20 years of operations while adding enough renewable energy to power approximately 45,600 homes per year.

The Bureau of Land Management has officially cancelled the Esmeralda 7 solar project, a Nevada-based project that would stand among the world’s largest solar power plants, large enough to power nearly 2 million homes.

With hyperscalers searching for clean, round-the-clock power, developers see a new market for battery systems that can run for 100 hours or more.

A California Public Utilities Commission Judge called for a “premature” order of additional electric capacity in the state to take advantage of lucrative renewable energy federal tax credits while they still exist.

A democratically organized nonprofit is giving a seat at the clean energy table to 36 communities in Western Fresno County.

T1 Energy made a strategic investment in the company that is pursuing 4.8 GW of solar cell manufacturing in the United States.

The U.S.-based manufacturer announced it will provide solar power modules to satellite manufacturer Endurosat starting this year.
