A 3MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project has been completed and commercialized by United Renewable Energy at Kimberly-Clark’s facility in LaGrange, Georgia. The project was the result of collaboration between Kimberly-Clark’s facility, United Renewable Energy LLC as the project developer and builder, and NextEra Energy Resources, LLC through a subsidiary, which is the long-term project owner. […]
Spacedaily.com has learned that Southern California Edison, an Investor Owned Utility Monopoly in Los Angeles, has reverted to manual, paper billing by managers for correcting year-long failure with solar billing. The indication from SCE is that the information from their Smart Meter is not accurate and solar customers will be asked for their own solar […]
CIGS thin-film solar cells offer high conversion efficiencies with less materials and simpler processes than crystalline silicon solar cells yet chemically very stable and durable. However, due to the recent rapid price drops of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells/modules, the technology development direction of CIGS-based thin-film solar cells is changing to the urban environment-friendly energy source […]
The Australian network regulator has ignored pleas from some of the biggest solar and wind project owners in Australia to change the way marginal loss factors (MLFs) are calculated. While it has acknowledged that transmission has failed to keep pace with renewable energy investment, it did not offer any suggestions on what should be done […]
Origin Energy says it is looking at opportunities to expand its portfolio in Victoria, including its first grid-connected big battery, after reporting a sharp fall in earnings from its Australian electricity business. Outages at the gen-tailer’s Mortlake gas generator in Victoria and its Eraring coal generator in NSW slashed a combined $44 million from Origin’s […]
Owned by the government, Western Australia’s Water Corporation has recently pledged $30 million worth of solar energy developments, which are expected to roll out over the next three years. Just like many other sectors, Australia’s water industry is looking to utilise more renewables across its operations. As WA has predominantly been slower on uptake of […]
There’s no surprise to the fact that Australia is now the world’s third-largest exporter of fossil fuels. And this is becoming more of a driving force as debates around climate change continue to dominate politics. Our economy is hugely reliant on gas and coal exports and creating sufficient revenue streams from them. But these fuels […]
After a full year of hearings, business meetings and bipartisan negotiations, U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Joe Manchin (D-WV), today released the text of their energy innovation package. The American Energy Innovation Act (AEIA) will modernize domestic energy laws to ensure the United States remains a global energy leader while also strengthening national security, […]
Statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy “ACORE supports initiatives like the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) Act. However all should understand that federal investment in future innovation, while constructive, is not nearly a sufficient response to the climate crisis. In 2020, any energy bill should include provisions […]
Wind energy is now the top source of renewable electricity generation in the country according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, surpassing hydroelectric generation in 2019 for the first time in history. Annual wind generation totaled 300 million megawatt hours (MWh) in 2019, exceeding hydroelectric generation by 26 million MWh. Washington, DC – Wind energy […]
