Energy Update
Advocates in Vermont hope a new clean energy jobs board and resume bank can help open doors and diversify a sometimes clubby, male-dominated sector.
(Fri, 30 Apr 2021) Five energy flow diagrams with data for 2020 show U.S. production and consumption of total energy, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and electricity. Two charts with energy consumption by source and sector show the distribution, by both energy source and sector, of U.S. total energy and renewable energy consumed in 2020.
There’s a movement underway whereby companies that want to power their operations with clean energy would like to go further than simply purchasing the output of a renewable energy power plant via a power purchase agreement (PPA). They are instead interested in ensuring that all the energy they actually use is matched with the renewable energy output of a power plant.
Adapture Renewables Inc. announced this week that it completed a portfolio of ten solar projects totaling 33 megawatts (MWdc) of capacity across the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. Adapture Renewables acquired the portfolio in early 2019.
Biomass may not be electricity fuel king in Georgia, but the state definitely is peachy keen on the resource.
Last year, the state generated 5 million MWh (or 5 GWh) of electricity from biomass, according to a Tuesday report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This is about 10 percent of the nation’s biomass-fired total and more than any other state except California.
ORPC Inc. and its subsidiary ORPC Ireland are partnering with a European consortium to create a new generation of marine renewable energy turbines that increase reliability and performance while reducing manufacturing costs.
Norwegian renewable generation company Statkraft is to build its first windfarms in Chile.
The 102 MW Torsa project comprises three windfarms totaling 19 turbines supplied by German manufacturer Nordex.In total, the windfarms are expected to produce more than 300 GWh of energy annually, which Statkraft says is enough to power 100,000 households.

What is said to be the world’s largest off-grid solar-battery hybrid system for the mining industry has been commissioned at a gold mine in Mali, West Africa.
The plant has been integrated with existing heavy fuel oil generation at the Fekola mine operated by B2Gold.
Solar-adopter incomes presently skew high in all states, but, as with the national trends, that skew has diminished over time in most states.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a report last week that highlights income, demographic, and other socio-economic trends among U.S. residential rooftop solar adopters. Galen Barbose, Sydney Forrester, Eric O’Shaughnessy, and Naïm Darghouth authored the report.
