When it comes to what to do with unusable, underutilized, and impaired properties like Brownfields, landfills, gravel pits, petroleum tank farms, parking lots, and the concrete slabs of old factory sites, one of the best options available today is to turn them into solar energy farms.
Corporate buyers of renewable energy welcomed the news that President Joe Biden paused new tariffs on solar module imports, but offered caution about the path forward for investors over the next two years.
A 7.1 MW community solar farm has been completed in York, New York.
Standard Solar funded the construction and will own and operate the project, which was developed by SolarPark Energy. Catalyst Power will handle subscriber acquisition and customer service.
As solar developers braced for potentially retroactive tariffs on solar module imports, the U.S. solar market notched its worst quarter for installations since 2020.

The Ukraine crisis promises to dramatically change the face of the renewable energy sector in the post-Soviet space. While Ukraine is struggling to keep its plants running amid the continuing fights, Russian power-generating companies are bracing for the impact of unprecedented Western sanctions.

In the quest for reliable, renewable-sourced baseload power, utilities, and industrial offtakers have turned to utility-scale electro-chemical battery energy storage systems (BESS) to stabilize capacity through intermittent resource swings and meet policy demand for low or zero-carbon energy.

Two clear and present dangers are staring us down: climatic change and geopolitical conflict. Both suggest it is the time to move MUCH faster, and more courageously, toward modern-day energy solutions. Today – as our hearts go out to Ukraine – we’re yet again asking what more can be done to avoid dependence on oil that supports the whims of dictators who control large swaths of the fossil fuel economy.
The news media has picked up the headlines from grid operators’ summer assessments, causing people to wonder if we will have rolling blackouts this summer. These headlines have caused skeptics to raise questions about renewables and their role in providing reliable and affordable electricity. While no one knows how this summer will turn out, it is worth digging into the details beyond news headlines.
President Joe Biden will reportedly pause for two years any new tariffs on solar modules imported from four Southeast Asian countries that are the subject of a federal trade investigation, according to multiple reports.
(Mon, 06 Jun 2022) EIA presents alternative cases to the <em>Annual Energy Outlook 2022</em> (AEO2022) that investigate how weather affects residential and commercial building energy demand. These cases focus on different cooling and heating degree day projectionsâindicators of space heating and space cooling energy demand, respectivelyârelative to other AEO cases.
