DOE proposes ten “national interest” transmission corridors (my latest for PV Magazine USA) Eight of the ten transmission corridors proposed by the U.S. Department of Energy would facilitate transmission between grid regions; one would expand transmission within the Mid-Atlantic’s #PJM grid region; and one would expand transmission in the Northern Plains.

Solar Alliance revenue increases 55% in 2023 to $7.5 million Company continues to execute on its strategy in the high-growth U.S. solar Industry   Toronto, Canada and Knoxville, Tennessee, April 30, 2024 – Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR, OTC: SAENF), a leading solar energy solutions provider focused on the commercial and utility solar sectors, announces it has filed its audited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s Financial Statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.   “Solar Alliance continued to successfully execute on our strategy as our team delivered a 55% increase in revenue year-over-year,” said CEO Myke Clark. “Solar Alliance continues to see strong demand for commercial solar projects, and we remain focused on larger, higher margin commercial solar projects to support our growth. In addition to executing on larger projects, we are now experiencing strong demand for solar projects for small and medium-sized businesses in rural communities. We reduced expenses and overhead during 2023 and we believe we will experience ongoing bottom-line improvements as those cost reductions have an impact on the full year for 2024. We continue to build a stable, growing company that is well positioned to take advantage of the current global shift to renewable energy,” concluded Clark.   For a Full Profile View & Press Release of Solar Alliance Energy Visit: https://lnkd.in/exTSu5a    #stockstowatch #stocks #smallcap #greenenergy #smallcaps #Investment #investing #stockstobuy #investors #renewables #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #solar #greenenergy #solarenergy #energy #solarpower #gosolar #solarpanels #sustainability #climatechange #environment #sustainableenergy #solarinstallation #sunpower @solaralliance $SOLR

Canary Media with an article on how rural electric cooperatives are tapping into the IRA to fund the shift from fossil to renewable generation. "How $7.3B will help rural co-ops build clean power—and close coal plants This Inflation Reduction Act program is offering 16 rural electric co-ops financing to overcome the up-front costs of shifting from dirty coal to clean power. Rural electric cooperatives, which bring electricity to the most sparsely populated parts of the country, are getting their biggest federal investment since the New Deal — and this time around, the money is going to help fight climate change. Last week, the Biden administration announced $7.3 billion in financing for 16 rural co-ops serving about 5 million households across 23 states. The money will be administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which implemented the Rural Electrification Act, the 1936 law that financed the buildout of the grid in more remote areas of the country. It will also be matched by more than $29 billion in private investments with a goal of building more than 10 gigawatts of clean energy. That’s a big jump from the nearly 16 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity co-ops have today."

REP. HUFFMAN ANNOUNCES $15 MILLION FOR CALIFORNIA FLOATING SOLAR ENERGY BUILD OUT: FUNDING PART OF $19 MILLION INVESTMENT FOR INNOVATIVE SOLAR ENERGY PROJECTS TO FURTHER BUILD RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND EXPAND CLEAN DOMESTIC ENERGY PRODUCTION Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Jared Huffman (CA-02) announced $19.5 million from President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda to install solar panels in irrigation canals as part of an initiative to study the water efficiency gains and amount of clean energy produced for future larger scale implementation. $15 million of this funding has been awarded to the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority for the Delta-Mendota Canal Floating Solar Project. The projects in California, Oregon and Utah are funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which makes available $25 million for the design, study and implementation of projects to cover Reclamation-related water conveyance facilities with solar panels. Representative Huffman crafted the provision in the IRA that made this funding possible. “This announcement is a significant milestone for our efforts to combat climate change and transition the country to clean, green energy. Deploying solar panels on our canal systems is a smart solution to our growing water and energy dilemmas – it harnesses clean energy technology to increase efficiency while reducing our carbon footprint and water loss from canal evaporation,” said Rep. Huffman. “Thanks to the visionary work of stakeholders, engineers, climate experts, and the many other partners I’ve worked with over the years on this, I was able to craft a provision to secure this funding which will make our vision a reality.” The projects announced include: The San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, Delta-Mendota Canal Floating Solar Project (California), $15 million. The Authority, Reclamation and the University of California-Merced will collaborate through a public-private-academic partnership to assess the impacts of floating photovoltaic solar arrays on the Delta-Mendota Canal. The pilot intends to deploy potentially up to three floating solar technologies to assess the viability, costs, and benefits of floating solar over canal technologies on large conveyance facilities like the Delta Mendota Canal. The initiative will also validate floating photovoltaics design for moving water, identify and address issues related to maintaining a canal with panels on it, explore the power generation potential, and develop methods to quantify impacts on water quality. https://lnkd.in/gDQ3wmTZ

Grid analysts challenge Bonneville Power’s pace in adopting advanced conductors--my latest for PV Magazine USA. As the White House encourages utilities to use advanced conductors to help interconnect new renewable generation, the federally-owned utility Bonneville Power is moving slowly to use the high-capacity conductors, analysts said.

This Fall's CAISO data has really illustrated that California's renewable energy system is operating near perfection. The state's most efficient power plants dip a little bit without the need for inefficient peaker-plants to turn on. More solar and batteries will be needed to meet regulatory requirements, but with a constant 6 GW of very efficient combined cycle natural plants on the margin and 3.5 cent marginal energy costs, might claim victory at this point and show the rest of the Country how to do it.

As a U.S. solar developer, are you facing retroactive antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) when buying PV modules from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia? It makes sense to buy solar panels from these four Southeast Asian countries because it will save you tremendously, and your overall costs will be much lower than procuring them domestically, even after the ITC credit. But the situation will dramatically change if you have to pay the retroactive tariffs—they could be as high as 250%! Are you in a predicament of deciding to buy domestic or imported PV modules from the above four Asian countries? Don't be. Sunnda Energy has a perfect solution for you - purchase AD/CAD tariff-free PV modules from another country manufactured by a Bloomberg NEF tier 1 PV module manufacturer with competitive prices.

For anyone who will be at IEEE Power & Energy Society T&D Conference feel free to stop by our panel session on #EVs and #gridreliability. Will be an interesting cross-sector discussion including technology provider, independent system operator, and utility perspectives among others. E-mobility is driving the blending of Transmission and Distribution system planning, design, and operations. Particularly with the growing prevalence of distributed energy resources, IoT and grid-edge technologies, and virtual power plants (#VPPs).

Commercial solar incentives significantly reduce upfront costs and accelerate ROI for businesses investing in solar energy. Federal tax incentives include the Investment Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation through MACRS and bonus depreciation. State and local incentives offer additional benefits such as Solar Renewable Energy Credits, property tax exemptions, and grant programs. Combining these incentives can dramatically decrease payback periods and increase long-term savings for businesses. https://lnkd.in/gJdeDJ7n
