"The plant will generate enough power to power about 42,000 homes and it will probably contain around half-a-million solar panels," said Malnight. "It's located adjacent to the Wolf Hills Power Plant, which is an existing facility that has been generating power reliably in the community. I think it's been a very good neighbor -- we will be locating immediately around that power plant and we will be utilizing the same infrastructure that it uses to interconnect the power to the power grid."

Origis powers up Golden Triangle II solar-BESS combo in Mississippi The 150-MWac Golden Triangle II solar farm with 50 MW of battery storage that Origis Energy developed and built in Mississippi has reached commercial opera

WTO Struggles With US–China Clean Energy Competition – Analysis By Mandy Meng Fang The US–China trade battle in the clean energy sector reached a significant legal milestone when China initiated action over the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in March. As the world’s two largest economies and greenhouse gas emitters, Ch...

Overall, though, the analysis by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation painted a rosier picture than last year’s report, in part because of a surge in solar power development.

New solar will help keep power on during scorching summer, report says • Arkansas Advocate The nation has enough energy supply to handle normal peak demand, largely because of 25 gigawatts of new solar power capacity

Germany has so much solar energy being generated that the price for solar generated electricity has crashed…

Germany has too many solar panels, and it's pushed energy prices into negative territory Germany has installed a record number of solar panels. But consumers aren't starting to use them fast enough.

A recent report, The state(s) of distributed solar—2023 update from the Institute of Local Self Reliance (ILSR), estimates that 29 GW of solar capacity was installed in 2023; 31% of which is distributed solar. Distributed solar is solar that is owned by individuals, small businesses and public entities—and is generated at or very near the site where it is used.

Strong state solar policies boost adoption of distributed energy Of the 29 GW of solar installed in the U.S. in 2023, 31% was distributed solar, according to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance.

Historic Growth of Solar and Wind Energy Generation

‘Turning point in energy history’ as solar, wind start pushing fossil fuels off the grid » Yale Climate Connections Fossil fuel growth has stalled while wind and solar are growing.

Responding to skyrocketing interest from farmers and energy companies, however, California policymakers began mobilizing this year to obtain funding to advance the technology.

Some experts say that agrivoltaics is vital to preserving food production in California, where many farmers face pressure to retire parts of their land to comply with water conservation regulations or sell it to solar companies expanding production to meet national emissions reduction targets.

As California Gets Drier, Solar Panels Could Help Farms Save Water More research and funding are needed to prove the viability of incorporating solar panels onto farms in California, where the technology has been slow to scale compared to other states and countries.

The Ecology Behind Ecovoltaics

“So far, our work shows that the distinct micro-environments created by solar arrays produce similarly varied patterns of plant growth. This finding is encouraging: It means that the environmental variation created by solar panels passively tracking the sun is enough to make plants respond differently. These micro-environments could potentially support a mosaic of plant communities that benefit from different conditions.”

Opinion | How to Make Solar Power More Ecologically Beneficial "An ecovoltaic approach to solar can produce positive ecological outcomes and make solar energy even more sustainable," Sturchio writes.

Look for solar panels to blossom atop low-income homes in Indian Country over the next five years. Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency announced $500 million for tribes as part of $7 billion in grants for residential solar energy. Some $5.5 billion will go to states, and $1 billion to multi-state awards.

The transition to renewable energy, in part due to the state’s (New Mexico) Energy Transition Act, represents more than just a shift in power sources; it brings a fundamental economic and environmental transformation. With several solar projects already permitted and shovel-ready, we can harness clean energy’s economic potential and propel our community toward a brighter future.

OPINION: Renewable energy transition is sparking a renaissance in Four Corners region OPINION: As our community moves on from its economic reliance on coal, we are witnessing a renaissance of sorts, northwestern New Mexico is becoming renowned not just for its natural
