In a record-breaking second quarter, U.S. developers added 11 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale clean power capacity, marking a 91% increase from Q2 2023. ...
Federal policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity generation, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, are projected to lead to growth in renewable energy capacity. Although the amount of land directly affected by a solar or wind farm is small (relative to the amount of farmland), large-scale, commercial solar and wind development leads to changes in the rural ...
Hy2gen subsidiary Hy2gen USA and Ocean Connect Energy (OCE) have executed an MOU to jointly investigate powering renewable hydrogen production from offshore wind. The MOU directs the companies to identify, evaluate and develop locations to power Hy2gen’s renewable hydrogen and e-fuel production from the utility-scale offshore ...
The study examined how factors like temperature, cloud cover, and wind speed might impact electric power generation in the future, when the regional grid is more heavily powered by renewable resources sensitive to these conditions. ...
Tim brings more than 22 years of experience across utility-scale solar, wind and energy storage projects, software controls, investor-owned utility, independent power producer and pure developer realms. ...
ESS Inc., a manufacturer of long-duration iron flow batteries for commercial and utility-scale energy storage applications, in partnership with Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Forum and the United States Energy Association (USEA), this week released an issue brief detailing the critical need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) to create an ...
The 2022 edition of the Land-Based Wind Market Report, prepared by DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, detailed 13,413 MW of new utility-scale land-based wind generation capacity added in 2021 -- the equivalent of powering more than 4 million American homes and representing $20 billion investment in new ...
Western Spirit encompasses four new utility-scale wind sites that connect rural communities in central New Mexico to local customers and other major energy markets beyond our state’s borders. ...
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland was in East Hampton, New York, on Feb 11 to commemorate the groundbreaking of the South Fork wind energy project, the second commercial-scale, offshore wind energy project approved for federal waters in the United States. ...
The U.S. wind industry supports 116,800 jobs. The 2021 edition of the Land-Based Wind Market Report, prepared by DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, detailed a record 16,836 megawatts (MW) of new utility-scale land-based wind power capacity added in 2020 - representing $24.6 billion of investment in new ...
"With better models that evaluate resource selection based on their impact on total system costs we see that scaling local solar and storage - along with utility-scale renewables - will save us hundreds of billions of dollars and achieve the lowest cost path to a clean electric grid," said Jeff Cramer, executive director of Coalition for ...
The new two-in-portrait (2P) tracker features a patented locking technology that secures module wings in position against extreme wind loads, to reduce maintenance costs and expand product lifespan. ...
LCOE 14.0 The cost of generating energy from onshore wind and utility-scale solar projects fell by 2% and 9%, respectively, over the past year. ...
Enel, through its US renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, started construction of the 284 MW1 Azure Sky solar + storage project, its second hybrid project in North America that integrates a renewable energy plant with utility-scale battery storage. The project is another milestone in the company's commitment, announced in July, to invest in ...
The next biggest impact came from renewable energy generation (including utility-scale solar, wind and distributed generation solar), totaling $56 billion, and 357,000 jobs. ...
Masdar, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Investments and Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan and JSC National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan to design, finance, build and operate a 500-megawatt utility-scale wind farm project.

This impressive stretch actually began on March 25, when utility-scale solar, wind and hydropower collectively produced more than coal-fired generation, and has continued for at least 40 straight days through May 3, according to preliminary figures from the EIA's Hourly Electric Grid Monitor. ...
The share of variable renewable energy (VRE)-mainly solar and wind-generation on U.S. regional power systems more than doubled on average from 2012 to 2018, according to the newly released 2018 Renewable Energy Grid Integration Data Book.Published biennially by the U.S. ...
Renewable Energy Separately, the MPSC’s annual Report on the Implementation and Cost-Effectiveness of the P.A. 295 Renewable Energy Standard found that utility-scale wind turbines accounted for 70 percent of the approximately 3,100 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity in 2019. ...
Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of 13 projects to receive a total of $28 million to advance wind energy nationwide. While utility-scale, land-based wind energy in the United States has grown to 96 gigawatts, significant opportunities for cost reductions remain, especially in the areas of offshore ...
