PVMagazine USA reporting on the number of projects in the queue in PA. "Pennsylvania queued solar projects would increase total capacity 18x Land development marketplace LandGate released data through Q3 2024 showing that Pennsylvania has 46 solar facilities combining for 562 MW of capacity. There are an additional 9 projects actively under construction that will increase the state’s capacity by nearly 50%, adding 263 MW of additional capacity. Proposed projects waiting in queues total 480 projects combining for 10,469 MW. However, it takes time for these queued projects to come online, particularly in Pennsylvania, which is managed by the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM). LandGate said it takes an average of 3 years for a project to go from queue to operational. The company expects about 10 GW of utility-scale solar to come online by the end of 2025, which would mark an unprecedented boom year for the state. However, the potential 18x increase in solar capacity depends on queued projects actually coming online, which may be challenged by grid interconnection delays."

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

1 GW of new solar is recorded in France during Q2. The second quarter of 2024 connection statistics for new photovoltaic systems have been made public by French grid operator Enedis. Developers installed 1,013 MW in April and June, compared to 965 MW in the first quarter. In 2023, a record year, developers added 691 MW and 747 MW to the grid over the same dates. Merely 18 MW was allocated for storage facilities and 710 MW for self-consumption out of the total new capacity, with 336 MW being used in the first quarter and 373 MW in Q. While 105 MW will not add electricity to the grid, the majority of self-consumption installations, or 650 MW, will sell any extra power to the grid. According to France's Ministry of Ecological Transition, around 1 GW of new PV systems were added to the grid between January and March. In contrast, the nation gained 984 MW in 2023's fourth quarter and 639 MW in 2023's first quarter. 3.2 GW of additional solar capacity was installed in France in 2023 as opposed to 2.68 GW in 2022 and 2.57 GW in 2021. The total installed PV capacity of the country by March 2024 was 21.1 GW, of which about 20.3 GW were on the mainland and the remainder was located in Corsica and overseas territories. #solarpower #cleanenergy #PV #solar #solarproject #solarmount #technology #solarenergy #renewableenergy #greenenergy

Everything is bigger in Texas.... "Texas, the nation’s new leader in utility-scale solar generation capacity, has added to its arsenal with Danish Fields and Cottonwood, a pair of utility-scale solar farms with integrated battery storage in the southeast part of the state. Today TotalEnergies announced the start of commercial operations at the facilities, which have a combined capacity of 1.2 GW, increasing the company’s Texas portfolio to nearly 4 GW in operation or under construction." According to the latest American Clean Power market report, Texas has now surpassed 22 GW of utility-scale solar generation capacity, representing about one-fifth of the country’s total. Another 12 GW are under construction, more than the next five states combined. Full story in comments. #solar #renewable #energy #texas

Wind power holds immense potential to drive renewable capacity growth in countries worldwide. Forecasts indicate that solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy installations are expected to more than double by 2028 compared to 2022, consistently setting new records throughout the projected period and reaching a combined capacity of nearly 710 GW. #SenkronEnergy #YourEnergyIntelligence
