A Native American tribe is building a $1B solar farm in Colorado

Michelle Lewis | Feb 16 2024 -

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is going to build the Sun Bear Solar Project, one of the US’s largest solar farms, in Colorado.

The up to 971 megawatt (MW) solar farm will sit on around 4,000 acres of Ute Mountain Ute tribal land, nine miles south of the tribe’s capital, Towaoc, in southwestern Colorado. Sun Bear will be around eight miles long and one mile wide and will feature 2.2 million solar panels. It’s also expected to create up to 1,000 construction jobs, 10-50 full-time jobs, and revenue for the tribe.

Tribal officials are working with global renewable energy developer Canigou Group to plan the Sun Bear solar farm, which will cost more than $1 billion.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is currently reviewing the project’s environmental assessment. Construction is expected to kick off later this year, and Sun Bear is scheduled to come online in 2026. The solar farm will connect to the Western Area Power Administration power line, but who the electricity will be sold to has yet to be determined.

The United States installed 30.8 GW of solar photovoltaics (PV) in 2023

January 26, 2024 evwind

The residential and commercial sectors contribute 30% of photovoltaic generation in the United States
The pace of solar PV commissioning in the United States has increased more than one and a half times. The capacity of PV panels commissioned nationwide increased from 18.1 gigawatts (GW) in 2022 to 30.8 GW in 2023, with 8 GW commissioned in the residential and commercial sectors. This data is provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in the January issue of Short-Term Energy Outlook.
American solar infrastructure can be classified into three large segments: installations with a capacity greater than 1 megawatt (MW), which are connected to the common grid; solar panels with a capacity of more than 1 MW, which are used for industrial needs; and microgeneration facilities, that is, photovoltaic panels with a capacity of less than 1 MW, which supply the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.

The first of these three segments is the largest. The capacity of solar panels put into operation by US energy companies amounted to 11.2 GW of panels larger than 1 MW in 2022, up from 22.4 GW in 2023. A less important role in the implementation of large projects is played by the industrial sector, which had only 0.2 GW of photovoltaic panels with a capacity above 1 MW launched in 2023. A more important role in the development of the overall industry is played by the microgeneration segment (facilities with a capacity below to 1 MW), which represented 8.3 GW of solar panels. put into operation in 2023, of which 6.6 GW were in the residential sector, 1.4 GW in the services sector and 0.3 GW in the industrial sector.

The dominance of the residential sector is largely due to tax deductions, the rate of which in the United States increased to 30% in 2022. This has to do with the right of photovoltaic panel owners to deduct income tax. For example, purchasing solar panels worth $18,000 entitles you to a tax deduction of $5,400. The amount of expenses may include installation services for solar generators, as well as the costs of purchasing power batteries with a capacity of at least 3 kilowatt-hours. Tax incentives have caused a boom in the microgeneration segment: the capacity of solar panels put into operation in the US residential sector has increased from 4 GW in 2021 to 5.2 GW in 2022 and 6.6 GW in 2023.

In the coming years, this sector is likely to continue developing at almost the same pace. According to EIA forecasts, the capacity of solar panels put into operation in the US residential sector will reach 5.4 GW in 2024 and 6 GW in 2025.

Wisconsin’s largest solar project is now fully operational

By NS Energy Staff Writer 05 Jan 2024

Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) and We Energies are setting another milestone in delivering affordable, reliable and clean energy to their customers. The final panels at the Badger Hollow Solar Farm are now in service, completing the largest solar project in Wisconsin history.

Badger Hollow Solar Farm is a 300-megawatt (MW) renewable energy facility located near the communities of Montfort and Cobb in Iowa County, Wisconsin. The project came online in two 150-MW phases. The second phase began powering homes and businesses across Wisconsin last month. The facility’s first phase came online in December 2021.

The solar facility’s 300-MW generating capacity is equal to powering about 90,000 homes.

The project features 830,000 solar panels that move and track the sun throughout the day, maximizing power generation. The panels also capture solar energy on both sides—an especially useful feature in winter when sun reflects off the snow and onto the panels.

Wisconsin’s largest solar farm is now fully online

Michelle Lewis | Jan 4 2024 electrek

Image

Electricity providers Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) and We Energies just brought Wisconsin’s largest solar farm – and one of the largest of its kind in the US Midwest – online.

The 300 megawatt (MW) Badger Hollow Solar Farm spans around 1,900 acres and was brought online in 150 MW phases. The second phase is newly powered up, and the first phase came online in December 2021. Its generating capacity is equal to powering around 90,000 homes.

Wisconsin’s largest solar farm, which features 830,000 bifacial solar panels on trackers, is in Iowa County, west of Madison. In winter, the sun reflects off the snow onto the rear panels.

We Energies owns 100 MW and MGE owns 50 MW of Badger Hollow’s second phase. We Energies’ sister company, Wisconsin Public Service, owns 100 MW, and MGE owns 50 MW of the first phase.

Jeff Keebler, MGE chairman, president, and CEO, said, “Wisconsin utilities have a long history of working together, and I appreciate the partnership with We Energies to make this project a great success.”

The vast majority of solar installations in the state are utility-scale. The Solar Energy Industries Association ranked Wisconsin 25th among states for solar capacity as of Q3 2023; it’s expected to add 3,781 MW of solar over the next five years and jump to 12th place.

L’énergéticien français fournira au pétrochimiste LyondellBasell de l’électricité solaire provenant de deux centrales photovoltaïques situées au Texas, dont les mises en service sont prévues en 2024 et 2025.

DÉCEMBRE 22, 2023 GWÉNAËLLE DEBOUTTE

Après un premier contrat de vente d’électricité renouvelable (CPPA) signé fin 2022, TotalEnergies a signé un deuxième contrat avec le pétrochimiste LyondellBasell pour lui fournir au total 275 MWac (358 MWc) d’électricité verte pendant quinze ans. Une première partie de l’électricité (125 MWac, 163 MW) proviendra de sa centrale solaire de Brazoria (d’une capacité de 325 MW), située au sud-ouest de Houston, dont la mise en service est prévue d’ici fin 2025.

La seconde partie (150 MWac, 195 MW), déjà conclue dans le cadre du CPPA signé en 2022, sera produite par la centrale solaire de Cottonwood Bayou (d’une capacité de 455 MW), située au sud de Houston, dont la mise en service est prévue d’ici fin 2024. Ces deux CPPA sont indexés sur les prix du marché à travers un mécanisme « d’upside sharing », en vertu duquel les entreprises partageront toute hausse potentielle liée à l’augmentation des prix du marché pendant la durée du contrat.

Pour TotalEnergies, ces contrats font suite à d’autres CPPA signés par TotalEnergies avec Amazon et Saint-Gobain aux Etats-Unis. Dans le pays, il dispose d’un portefeuille de centrales solaires à grande échelle, de sites de stockage, de production solaire décentralisée B2B sur site, et de projets éoliens terrestres et offshore, qui devraient produire jusqu’à 10 GW d’électricité renouvelable d’ici à 2025 et plus de 25 GW à horizon 2030.

Parallèlement, LyondellBasell a également signé un contrat d’achat d’électricité à long terme avec l’Américain Industrial Sun pour fournir 50 MW d’électricité renouvelable provenant du projet solaire Industrial Bravo d’Industrial Sun dans le comté de Matagorda, au Texas, au complexe LyondellBasell Matagorda. Ce complexe produit des résines plastiques de polyéthylène haute densité (PEHD) utilisées dans la fabrication de divers produits de consommation. Le parc solaire devrait être mis en service au cours du premier semestre 2026.

Les PPA signés avec TotalEnergies et avec Industrial Sun portent le total de l’électricité renouvelable achetée par LyondellBasell à 1 366 MW, soit 89 % de son objectif d’acheter un minimum de 50 % de son électricité à partir de sources renouvelables.

Canadian Solar says it plans to invest $800 million to open a 5 GW solar cell factory in the US state of Indiana.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 RYAN KENNEDY

Canadian Solar has announced plans to invest $800 million in the development of a 5 GW solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Once complete, the facility is expected to produce enough cells to support the production of about 20,000 solar modules per day.

The company said it expects to begin production at the plant in 2025. More than 1,200 jobs will be created once the facility is operational.

“Indiana’s strong advanced manufacturing sector positions the state to help lead the global energy transition, developing and powering new solutions in batteries, solar and hydrogen,” said Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. “Canadian Solar’s new US location in Jeffersonville will put our skilled Hoosier workforce at the center of cultivating solar power, making energy efficient panels more accessible to consumers across the country.”

The company said the cells produced at the Indiana facility will be used at its new Mesquite, Texas module assembly plant, which was announced in June.

A total of $12.3 million in tax credits and workforce training grants were offered to Canadian Solar through Indiana Economic Development Corp. The funds are conditional on the company following through on investment and hiring plans.

Canadian Solar has been publicly traded on the NASDAQ since 2016, and was established in 2001 in Guelph, Canada.

In a recent pv magazine USA webinar, Clean Energy Associates discussed how solar cells are a critical part of the supply chain that needs to expand capacity to make a meaningful impact on energy independence for the United States.

Along with raw polysilicon, ingots, and wafers, cells are under-represented in the US supply chain when compared with module assembly capacity and overall PV module demand.

BP Begins Construction on Texas Solar Project

by Rocky Teodoro|Rigzone Staff|Wednesday, September 27, 2023

BP plc has started construction on its 187 megawatts defined conditions (MWdc) Peacock Solar project, located 10 miles north of Corpus Christi in San Patricio County, Texas.

Peacock will sell all of the electricity it generates under a long-term power purchase agreement to Gulf Coast Growth Ventures (GCGV), a joint venture between ExxonMobil Corp and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), which produces materials used to manufacture clothes, food containers, packaging, agricultural film, and construction materials, BP said in a news release Tuesday.

Located near the GCGV complex, Peacock will supply power directly to the facility. Once complete, the installation will generate enough renewable energy annually to power the equivalent of 34,000 homes, according to BP.

BP’s 50/50 joint venture partner, global solar leader Lightsource BP, is developing the project and managing the construction on behalf of the company. PCL Construction, the main engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the project, will install ultra-low carbon solar panels and trackers from manufacturers First Solar and GameChange Solar, respectively, according to the release. The Peacock project is expected to create around 300 jobs during construction and provide more than $25 million in tax revenue over the first 25 years of the project’s life.

BP said it will also execute several agricultural and biodiversity activities in the Peacock project area, including planting vegetation, aiming to improve habitat value, and encouraging sheep grazing at the site to benefit the local rural economy and keep the farmland in production.

Peacock is part of BP’s aim to invest in and build renewable energy capacity of 50 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. The company expects the project to meet its expected returns for renewable power.

“Securing this agreement and kicking off construction of Peacock helps support the transition to lower carbon energy, while benefiting local communities and the economy”, BP America Chairman and President Dave Lawler said. “It’s another way BP is accelerating growth of our U.S. solar generation capacity, investing in America, and advancing our transformation to an integrated energy company”.

“We want to be good stewards of our environment”, GCGV President Paul Fritsch said. “Once online, the solar-generated electricity will be used to partially power our plant and help reduce emissions in support of a net-zero future”.

BP cited the Solar Energy Industries Association as saying that Texas ranks second in the nation for solar power and is poised to grow, with more than 40 GW of capacity expected to be installed over the next five years.

U.S. Solar Capacity Additions To Hit A Record High In 2023

By Charles Kennedy - Sep 07, 2023,

The solar industry in the United States expects to install a record-high 32 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity this year, with additions surging by 52% from 2022, when policy-driven constraints held back projects, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie said in their latest quarterly report on Thursday.

The challenges with supply chains due to the COVID-related chaos and restrictive trade policies have started to fade, while the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is beginning to yield results, the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q3 2023 report found.
Total operating solar capacity in the U.S. is expected to rise from 153 GW today to 375 GW by 2028, Wood Mackenzie predicts.

In the second quarter of 2023, the U.S. solar industry installed 5.6 gigawatts-direct current (GWdc) of capacity, up by 20% year-over-year and an 8% decrease from the first quarter of 2023, the report showed.

In Q1 2023, U.S. solar system installations surged by 47% on the year.

This year, volumes are set to grow year-over-year, reversing the contraction in 2022, WoodMac and SEIA said in today’s report.

Early this year, the 2022 year-in-review report by WoodMac and SEIA said that the U.S. solar market is expected to recover this year from the policy-driven supply constraints that weighed on the sector in 2022.
Last year, new solar capacity additions in the United States fell by 16% from 2021 for a total of 20.2 GW. The decline in 2022 installations was primarily driven by supply chain uncertainties after the U.S. launched an investigation into whether U.S. imports of panels completed in four Southeast Asian countries - using parts and components from China - are circumventing the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from China. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has also detained solar equipment from China over new legislation against forced labor, which further stifled U.S. industry growth in 2022.

With the IRA provisions and supply-chain challenges now starting to abate, the solar market will return to growth this year, with additions expected at a record 32 GW.

“Announcements for domestic module manufacturing have exploded, promising more stable solar module supply in the future,” said Michelle Davis, Head of Global Solar at Wood Mackenzie.
