RENEWABLES ROUND UP

FERC Ruling Opens Solar Market Potential to Co-Ops and Munis U.S. co-ops currently own and purchase about 16.7GW of renewable capacity (including contracts for federal hydropower), and this number will continue to rise in part by solar photovoltaic projects’ expanded presence. As many distribution co-ops and municipal utilities exercise their independence to purchase more renewable energy, Sol Systems continues to provide financing for local solar developers. The mass integration of solar into existing energy systems is not achieved overnight; financing, development, increased grid flexibility, and additional means to ensure the energy source’s reliability will be necessary. Still, the future of solar among rural electric co-ops and municipal utilities is certainly brighter.

US Energy Department Plans 50% Growth Of Country’s Hydropower A new report published by the US Department of Energy has hinted at a 50% growth in the country’s already impressive hydropower sector. In a new report published this week by the US Department of Energy (DOE), entitled Hydropower Vision: A New Chapter for America’s First Renewable Electricity Source, experts found that with continued technological advancements, innovative market mechanisms, and a focus on environmental stability, the country’s hydropower capacity could grow from its current 101 GW to nearly 150 GW of combined electricity generation and storage capacity by 2050.
Italian biogas plant designer SEBIGAS has signed a new contract with Thailand-based food speicalist CPP Group to supply it with a 3.1MW tapioca-pulp-run biogas facility. The high cost of the electrical energy in Thailand, compared to other south eastern countries, makes it difficult for the industrial sector to preserve competitive prices maintaining high-quality standards. Tapioca pulp is a tuber usually cultivated in tropical areas.
