As drafted, the plan would accommodate the state’s forecasted load growth and critical resource development, including: More than 30 gigawatts (GW) of solar generation distributed across the state in solar development regions such as the Westlands area, the Tehachapi area, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, southern Nevada, and ...
This week's announcement underscores the State’s commitment to investing in and scaling up a variety of clean energy technologies to improve affordability, reliability, and resiliency of energy consumption and distribution across the state.“The innovations we invest in today are the solutions of tomorrow, and New York is at the forefront of turning clean energy ideas into ...
The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has issued an order approving the Electric Sector Modernization Plans (ESMPs) from the state’s electric distribution companies (EDCs) as strategic roadmaps to enable an equitable and cost-effective clean energy transition in Massachusetts. ...
Bursts of power on an especially sunny day in the desert could cause grid faults—little blips that can propagate and cause outages—or overload power lines.But what if we could better control where and how solar energy—or all our energy—flows within the distribution system so we can balance out all that power? ...
Developed in close coordination with the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission and the energy industry, the plan will enable critic al resource development, including:Over 38 GW of solar generation distributed across the state in solar development regions that include the Westlands area in the Central Valley, ...
Load forecasters at the ISO examined expected economic growth, historical weather patterns, projected adoption of technology like distributed solar photovoltaics (PV), electric vehicles (EVs) and air-source heat pumps, and state-level carbon reduction goals to develop the 2024-2033 Forecast Report of Capacity, Energy, Loads, and Transmission (CELT Report), which ...
A cornerstone of this transition is New York's clean energy investments, including more than $28 billion in 61 large-scale renewable and transmission projects across the State, $6.8 billion to reduce building emissions, $3.3 billion to scale up solar, nearly $3 billion for clean transportation initiatives and over $2 billion in NY Green Bank commitments. These and other ...
This community solar milestone contributes to five gigawatts of distributed solar operating across the state, with 3.3 gigawatts in development. ...
"Advanced communications networks are essential to achieving higher levels of reliability and resiliency of the electric grid, especially as we connect more distributed energy resources like solar and battery storage to the power grid," said Michelle Blaise, ComEd's senior vice president of technical services. ...
Their location: the construction site for a large-scale solar power plant. Their task: to install rows upon rows of solar panels, which will soon generate clean energy to power American homes, businesses, and communities. ...
To bring this more coordinated approach full circle, the ISO will also give priority to interconnection requests located within those same zones in its generation interconnection process.Projects identified in the plan will enable critical resource development, including: Over 17 GW of solar generation distributed across the state in solar ...

The technology informs and will help advance New York State's goal of at least ten gigawatts (GW) of distributed solar by 2030 and move New York closer to its goal of 70% renewable generation by 2030 and a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040. ...
The Renewables Advancing Community Energy Resilience (RACER) funding program seeks to enable communities to utilize solar and solar-plus-storage solutions to prevent disruptions in power caused by extreme weather and other events, and to rapidly restore electricity if the power goes down. ...
New York Governor Kathy Hochul this week announced four gigawatts of distributed solar—community, residential, small commercial and industrial projects—have been installed across the state, enough to power more than 710,000 homes, underscoring New York's leadership in growing one of the strongest solar markets in the nation. ...
NWA projects are designed to reduce cost and complexity by using distributed energy resources such as solar + storage rather than relying on more traditional generation and infrastructure enhancements. The Watertown Renewables project features more than 20,000 solar panels generating 8.4 megawatts of renewable energy and 10 Tesla Megapack systems ...
“By the end of 2022, solar energy will be deployed over 30GW, including 1.5 million new solar rooftops, and by 2030, Europe will be able to achieve 1TW of installed solar power", said SolarPowerEurope's CEO. It is foreseeable that in the next 8 years, green renewable energy will become mainstream and the solar industry ...
“Demand flexibility has the potential to enhance and accelerate the state’s energy and climate goals, renewable integration, and high distributed energy resources adoption. It also plays a critical role in improving grid reliability and resiliency, reducing grid emissions, and making electricity rates more affordable and equitable.” ...
The report finds that all 50 states and the District of Columbia took actions related to grid modernization during 2021 (see figure below), with the greatest number of actions relating to energy storage deployment, smart grid deployment, utility business model reforms, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) deployment, distribution system planning, and time-varying rates. The ...
