Earlier this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration stated that in 2021 over 17 GW of wind capacity came online in the United States, increasing U.S. wind energy generation by 30% to 135.1 GW. Another 7.6 GW was expected to come online in 2022.
PINEVILLE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana utility and a New York-based renewable energy company say a big solar farm will be built near a coal-fired Louisiana plant that closed last year.
Cleco Power and D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments LLC have a long-term agreement under which Shaw Renewable will build a 240-MW solar installation and Cleco will buy power from it, according to a news release.

(Mon, 22 Aug 2022) This <em>Issues in Focus</em> article presents a series of cases that apply carbon fees on energy-related carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions. We examine how economy-wide carbon fees influence total, sectoral, and fuel-specific energy-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, as well as fuel prices. We also examine how the effect of carbon fees varies under different assumptions on macroeconomic growth.
Research engineers have found that the energy output of multi-turbine wind farms can be increased by modeling the wind flow of the entire array of turbines and optimizing the control of individual units.
The output can be increased without the need for equipment upgrades, the researchers said.
