Primergy will operate the facility, which will sell its power to Holy Cross Energy under a 25-year power purchase agreement.

The decade-old charge is a thing of the past after regulators agreed that solar customers pay their fair share of grid costs.

Also on the rise: The White House announces a pared-down framework for its Build Back Better agenda, Tesla orders 45 GWh of EV batteries, and New Jersey makes its community solar program permanent.

Amp Energy is developing five separate solar power generation systems at four project sites in central New York State.

An increasing share of residential solar arrays now attach energy storage batteries. In part one of the two part series, pv magazine reviewed the backup power feature of batteries. In this part, costs, benefits and timing are evaluated.

The Energy Department said that advanced, lithium-based batteries “play an integral role” in electric vehicles, stationary grid storage, and defense applications that will be critical to a clean energy future.

The state’s popular community solar program is here to stay, and one SEIA representative stated that the goal is to add a minimum of 150 MW annually.

Federal policy must address equipment availability, solar development pathway risk and timing, as well as transmission and distribution interconnection.

The firm paid more than $90 million to Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for eight solar projects in North Carolina.

The framework includes a 10-year expanded tax credit for utility-scale and residential clean energy, transmission and storage, clean passenger and commercial vehicles, and clean energy manufacturing.
