Advanced Ionics has developed an electrolyzer that runs at temperatures below 650 C. It is reportedly able to produce hydrogen for $0.85/kg or less. CEO Chad Mason recently spoke with pv magazine to provide a closer look at the water vapor electrolysis tech.

Also on the rise: Largest solar project in Wisconsin gets regulatory approval. Aspen Power to acquire 53MW of community solar projects from Trajectory Energy Partners. 6K awarded $1.5 million Massachusetts manufacturing grant to fund battery recycling equipment. Solar anti-circ investigation may not be determined by Commerce until late August, said ROTH.

The project ties another for the largest in capacity in the state and it is set to include a 165MW battery energy storage installation.

The Paris Solar Center was developed by Invenergy and is set to reach commercial operation in 2023.

All three installations are part of the utility’s plan to add 1,089 MW of solar in the state by the end of 2023.

The 1 MW installation is set to provide power to up to 1,000 customers, with more projects planned for Wisconsin and Iowa.

Governors of five states agreed to increase access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Midwest.

Energy produced by the facility will serve WPPI Energy member communities in three states under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The three projects represent a greater than 50% increase in the state’s installed solar capacity and are part of utility Alliant’s growing solar capacity.

The Paris Solar Energy Center was approved by regulators, but the developer is now asking to increase the storage total to 110 MW.
