Solar power has surpassed 100% of power demand in California! For 55 consecutive days, and 80 out of the last 87 days, California's main grid has seen electricity from solar, wind, and hydro power exceed daily demand for part of the day. At peak times, solar provided 102.1% of electricity demand, with renewables as a whole peaking at 136.4%. This milestone underscores California's leadership in renewable energy and validates pro-renewable advocates. One notable achievement is California’s progress in addressing the "duck curve" issue. By rapidly expanding energy storage, California is effectively storing surplus solar energy for use during peak demand times after sunset. This has significantly mitigated the duck curve challenge, proving that solutions to renewable energy integration are viable and effective. Despite high electricity prices, research shows renewables actually drive costs down, while other factors, including fossil gas prices and infrastructure costs, contribute to higher rates. #renewableenergy #solarenergy #california #cleanenergy #sustainability #energyinnovation #solarpower #windpower #hydropower #energystorage #solarpowered #solar

Thrilled to share that the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has joined the fight to defend rooftop solar in California! They've stepped up in an amended lawsuit against a recent CPUC regulation that restricts solar contractors from installing photovoltaic battery storage. This move amplifies efforts by CALPIRG (California Public Interest Research Group), Solar Rights Alliance, and others to challenge rules that could hinder our state's progress towards sustainable energy. Roger Lin CBD's senior attorney, rightly points out that such regulations could escalate costs and administrative hurdles for solar installations, essential technologies for resilient communities facing utility blackouts and climate emergencies. At the same time, the California Energy Commission (CEC) announced nearly $19 million in grants to streamline residential solar permits statewide, promoting easier access to solar energy for residents. This initiative marks a significant step forward in supporting clean energy adoption and environmental sustainability. Let's continue advocating for policies that promote accessible and sustainable energy solutions! #solarenergy #cleanenergy #climateaction #californiaadvocacy #solarindustry #solarpowered #california #policies

India, through the Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank), is supporting the installation of a Solar PhotoVoltaic Power Plant at Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana with a USD 2.5 million Line of Credit (LoC). This initiative underscores India's commitment to renewable energy and strengthens bilateral ties with Guyana. At least 75% of the contract value will be sourced from Indian goods, works, and services, promoting economic cooperation. Disbursement under this LoC is to be completed within 48 months post-project completion. This project is a significant step in advancing global renewable energy infrastructure and showcases India’s leadership in promoting sustainable development worldwide. #solarpower #renewableenergy #India #Guyana #economiccooperation #sustainability #growth #support #helpinghand

The U.S. is set to launch its first solar-covered canal project on tribal lands south of Phoenix, Arizona. This pilot project, a 1.3 MW installation on the Casa Blanca Canal, is nearing completion, blending ancient irrigation practices with modern solar technology. Developed by Tectonicus Constructs LLC, this innovative project aims to generate solar energy while reducing water evaporation and inhibiting algae growth. Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the California Energy Commission, the Casa Blanca installation showcases a modular, prefabricated design that meets the unique challenges of building over water. This project highlights the potential for canal-based solar to create significant clean energy capacity without the environmental impact of traditional solar farms. With over 8,000 miles of federally owned canals, the U.S. could generate over 25 GW of renewable energy while conserving water resources. #renewableenergy #solarpower #cleanenergy #innovation #sustainability #triballands #arizona #solarforall #oneofitskind #solarinstallation #solarpowered

California continues to lead the way in renewable energy! The State of California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved five major clean energy projects submitted by Southern California Edison (SCE). These include three solar power projects totaling 525 MWac and two geothermal projects from Fervo Energy, which represent the largest geothermal power purchase agreements globally. The solar projects, owned by 174 Power Global LLC, will be coupled with energy storage and have an AC capacity factor of just over 36%. In contrast, the geothermal facilities boast a capacity factor of over 82%, significantly enhancing energy reliability. These initiatives are crucial for meeting California's mid-term reliability goals of 3.8 GW by 2036 and reducing emissions to 25 million metric tons of CO2e by 2035. Exciting times ahead for clean energy and a sustainable future! #cleanenergy #renewables #solarenergy #geothermalenergy #california #sustainability #solarpower #solarindustry

The upcoming Union Budget 2024 is pivotal for India's renewable energy goals. With Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presenting the budget on July 23rd, there is a pressing need for policy support to achieve the ambitious target of 500 GW renewable energy capacity by 2030. The budget could drive growth towards a $5 trillion economy by 2027 and support the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. Key expectations include policy continuity, maintaining zero customs duties on essential solar components, and specific provisions to boost thermal capacity by 88 GW. Additionally, reducing customs duty on containerized batteries, tax holidays for standalone battery storage projects, and increasing funding for the National Green Hydrogen Mission are critical. Incorporating power generation under GST, financial support for renewable projects, and skill development programs are essential steps towards a sustainable future. The power sector eagerly awaits the budget’s initiatives to meet India's energy demands and drive the nation's growth. #renewableenergy #unionbudget2024 #sustainability #energygoals #atmanirbharbharat #india #solar #solarindustry #solarpower #solarenergy #climategoal #climateaction #vocalforlocal

The Sarasota City Commission has approved amendments to the zoning code and comprehensive plan to regulate and encourage #solarenergy production. These changes, approved unanimously on the first reading, classify #solar utilities within industrial general and industrial heavy zoning districts. This move responds to a 2022 Florida State Senate bill mandating local regulation of floating solar facilities on bodies of water. The updated guidelines, submitted to the state last November, aim to bolster clean energy development. Sarasota's new regulations will help pave the way for more solar facilities, contributing to the city's clean energy supply. Though space is limited, city planners are exploring potential sites for future solar projects. Commissioner Erik Arroyo emphasized that these amendments keep Sarasota at the forefront of energy innovation, job creation, and sustainability. The final vote on these amendments is scheduled for July 15. #cleanenergy #sarasota #solarpower #sustainability #solar #renewableenergy #solarpowered #policies #jobs #sustainability #florida #solarinstallation
