Energy Update
Dominion Energy is buying a second utility-scale battery project from energy storage developer East Point Energy.
At 15.7 MW/62.8 MWh, the Shands energy storage project would be one of the largest standalone storage projects in Virginia when it becomes operational in 2023.
Primergy Solar signed a sole battery supply agreement with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) for the $1.2 billion Gemini solar + storage project outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Once completed, Gemini will be one of the largest operational solar and storage projects in the U.S., with a 690 MWac/966 MWdc solar array and 1,416 MWh storage capability.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) published a study that examines future U.S. offshore wind workforce growth and identifies future workforce development needs.
The report estimates that the offshore wind industry will need an average of between 15,000 and 58,000 full-time jobs every year from 2024 to 2030, depending on the amount of American-made content used. That is an expected increase from fewer than 1,000 jobs today, NREL said.
The date has been set for California's first offshore wind lease auction.
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) said that the auction for rights to develop waters off central and northern California will be held on December 6. The auction represents the first ever along the U.S. Pacific Coast.
