Recurrent Energy’s Post

Last week, Jake Rozmaryn joined #EnergyInnovators at the sold-out Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas conference. From the booming energy storage markets to skyrocketing interest in rural solar, Texas is shaping up to be a hub of innovation for the #EnergyTransition. It's clear that solar + storage momentum in Texas and the larger Sun Belt region will continue, and we're thrilled to be at the forefront of conversations that will define the future of energy. #IESNA #EnergyStorage #SolarEnergy

Under a study conducted by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), Texas has been reported as the number 1 state with the most solar installed in 2023. Within 2023 Texas installed approximately 6.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar. Further increasing the total solar capacity installed in the state to 22.9 GW. Proceeding Texas, additional states with the most amount of solar installed in 2023 include California reporting 6.2 GW of solar; Florida with 3.2 GW; Colorado with 1.6 GW; and Ohio with 1.3 GW. Via the study, SEIA additionally predicts that Texas will lead the country in the most solar power installed with a projected total of 100 GW of solar energy. The following projection is evident as Texas is currently in the process of developing larger solar power projects, such as the 408-megawatt Ash Creek Solar farm in Hill County. #solarenergy #SolarPowerPlants #solar #cleanenergy #SEIA #SolarCapacity #electricpower #texas #MAPSearch #ENvision

In 2020 the U.S. had 1.4 GW of storage installed. The consultants forecast 12.9 GW in total storage installations in 2024 and 75 GW for the 2024-2028 period! #meteoric rise? Well, not without its challenges. “Amid a strong start to the year for grid-scale energy storage capacity installations, WoodMac and ACP forecast 11.1 GW in total grid-scale installations for 2024, a 45% increase over 2023. Texas is expected to account for the most megawatts installed this year, overtaking California. In the first quarter, 12 utility storage projects were installed in Texas while California had nine. Nevada’s solar-paired Gemini Energy Storage project accounted for its entire utility storage gain. …Energy storage installation growth is expected to slow significantly in 2025 and 2026 “largely due to early-stage development challenges such as permitting and siting, and interconnection queue timelines…” #energytransition

Everything is bigger in #Texas. Texas is rapidly growing into the new center of the country’s #renewable #energy universe. Trinasolar is part of this story. Trina US Manufacturing is developing a 1.3-million-square-foot PV manufacturing facility outside Dallas. When completed at the end of 2024, the 5GW state-of-the-art facility will bring 1,500 new solar #jobs to the area, with the company planning to double the workforce by 2025. The facility’s annual production of #solar modules will be enough to power half a million homes! There is no debate, Texas is powering the renewable energy #transition.

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿’𝘀 𝗡𝗘𝗠-𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 🔋 Demand for rooftop solar has crashed in California since the introduction of NEM 3.0. Several other states are mulling similar cuts to PV net metering programs. The transition to California’s new net metering 3.0 (NEM 3.0) regime was justified, in part, as a way to support residential energy storage installations, but the state policy has pushed rooftop solar off a cliff.⚡️ California, once known as a clean energy leader, has fallen off track with its clean energy goals. That was the view shared recently by the California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) during a panel discussion at the Intersolar North America 2024 conference in San Diego, California.

Last week, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC) adopted amendments to New Mexico’s Community Solar Rule (17.9.573 NMAC) that will bring significant developments to the state’s solar energy landscape. Importantly, the PRC raised the statewide solar capacity cap from 200 MW to 500 MW, authorizing an additional 300 MW to New Mexico’s Community Solar program cap effective November 1, 2024. This increase is allocated across the service territories of three major utilities: Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), Southwestern Public Service, and El Paso Electric Company.

A new poll from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Texas Association of Business reveals that more than 80% of Texans want lawmakers to maintain a level playing field and let solar complete with oil and gas. This strong public support underscores solar's role in creating jobs, reducing electricity costs, and fostering a sustainable future for Texas. “Texas officials who hinder solar development are out of step with what voters want: more solar,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of SEIA. “The Texas solar industry is continuing the state’s rich legacy as an energy leader, and the state’s economy and electric grid are stronger because of it.” At National Grid Renewables, we’re proud to contribute to this movement, with 695 megawatts of clean solar energy produced in Texas across the Blevins, Copperhead, and Noble Solar & Storage Projects.
