The process for connecting solar arrays to Xcel Energy’s grid continues to frustrate installers in Minnesota despite recent changes meant to reduce delays.
“I’m still hearing about it from our members a lot,” Logan O’Grady, executive director of the Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association, said of the wait times companies face before interconnection approvals. “It’s still bad.”
Oscilla Power’s Triton grid-scale ocean wave energy converter (WEC) was named one of TIME’s Best Inventions for 2022.
Estimates are that the total marine energy resource in the U.S. is about 2,300 TWh per year. Importantly, wave energy can help balance the variability of solar and wind and can enable CO2 emissions from power generation to be reduced to less than half their predicted 2050 levels, according to a release.
(Wed, 16 Nov 2022) Natural gas production grew significantly in the Eastern Mediterranean after major offshore discoveries in Egypt and Israel began commercial operations in the 2010s. Cyprusâs natural gas finds are still in the development phase and could significantly increase regional growth once commercial production begins. Development of midstream infrastructure for natural gas in the Eastern Mediterranean is still emerging.
Solar supply chain constraints, long permitting cycles for commercial projects, and continued delays in finalizing major utility contracts are clouding the near-term outlook for solar EPC company iSun.
The company reported a third quarter net loss of -$4.9 million, or -$0.36 per share. That compared with a net loss of -$0.7 million, or -$0.08 per share a year earlier.
The Department of Energy is making nearly $350 million available for emerging long-duration energy storage (LDES) demonstration projects capable of delivering electricity for 10 to 24 hours or longer.
Funded in part by the 2021 infrastructure law, the funding aims to advance new renewable energy technologies, make it easier for customers and communities to more effectively integrate grid storage, boost grid resilience, and expand U.S. leadership in energy storage.

A Massachusetts incentive program for projects that blend solar energy and agricultural production shows signs of finally gaining momentum after a slow rollout that has at times frustrated solar developers and farmers alike.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will explore repurposing a closed coal ash site at the Shawnee power plant into for utility-scale solar.
The $216 million pilot program was approved by TVA’s board of directors late last week and is pending environmental and regulatory approvals.
More than 1,000 shipments of solar energy components worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents since June, according to federal customs officials and industry sources based on reporting from the Reuters news agency.
Norway-based FREYR Battery said it acquired a site in Coweta County, Georgia, for its planned $1.7 billion Giga America battery plant. The company said it plans to launch detailed project engineering in the coming months.
The first phase is planned to be a cell production module with around 34 GWh of capacity, based on the next-generation of 24M’s U.S.-based SemiSolid production platform.
