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.
Demand for copper, often considered as one of the most valuable alternatives to silver in solar manufacturing, is expected to increase by almost a quarter globally by the middle of next decade. Wood Mackenzie says the energy transition is one of four ‘disruptors’ that could cause demand to increase further.
Researchers in Canada have proposed using gravity-based energy storage in high-rise buildings, in combination with photovoltaic facades, small wind turbines, and lithium-ion batteries. Their modeling indicated that this hybrid system could achieve a levelized cost of energy ranging from $0.051/kWh to $0.111/kWh.
Seattle-based urban mining startup Buckstop uses an AI-powered appraisal model to instantly value end-of-life solar panels.
“We look forward to FEMA’s new review,” said an attorney for the plaintiffs. Up to $11 billion in federal funds may still be available for Puerto Rico to recover from grid damage sustained from 2017’s Hurricane Maria.
