Utility scale solar
A former iron mine tailings pile is the first site auctioned in New York’s Build-Ready program for large-scale renewables.
Nevada regulators have approved NV Energy’s clean transition tariff, a framework developed in partnership with Google that will allow the utility’s existing large-load customers to receive power from new clean energy resources.
Uncertainty around federal funding, permitting approvals and tariffs is creating major challenges for clean energy development in the Northeast, industry representatives said at NECA’s annual Renewable Energy Conference.
A record 49 GW of clean energy generation came online in 2024 in the U.S., nearly 33% more than in 2023, the American Clean Power Association reported.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects 2025 additions of 32.5 GW of solar, 18.2 GW of storage, 7.7 GW of wind, 4.4 GW of gas and 0.2 GW of all other forms of generation.
The 13th edition of the BCSE Factbook comes, as always, packed with charts, figures and industry insights, many of which stand in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump’s focus on fossil fuels and U.S. energy dominance.
NYPA said it is pursuing 37 solar and storage projects totaling 3 GW of nameplate capacity, most of them in partnership with private-sector developers.
With days left in his administration, President Joe Biden issued an executive order aimed at siting and permitting cutting-edge artificial intelligence data centers on federal land by 2027.
The data center dilemma centers first on a familiar mismatch of timescales. Utilities and their regulators tend to plan based on the small, incremental demand growth. But development and the power demand it generates move at ever-increasing digital speed.
Renewable energy industry analysts, representatives and environmental advocates say New York is in a better position than many others to make progress on its renewable energy goals during a second Trump administration.
