The floating solar startup Noria Energy is bringing its new efficiency-enhancing solar tracking system to the US, in a first-of-its-kind demonstration project at a water supply reservoir in Golden, Colorado.
The leading renewable energy developer DESRI is behind a new 150-megawatt solar power plant in New Mexico, which will also send clean kilowatts into Texas, too.
The massive Project Roadrunner e-fuels facility, now under construction in Texas, has just enlisted the support of the leading global banking and financial firm HSBC.

Which states in the USA have installed the most solar power? How many solar jobs are there in those states? Which states are leading in residential solar power? How many solar companies are in these leading states? I’m glad you asked, because we now have the answers for you! Thanks … [continued]
AUSTIN, Texas — [This week], the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 819 by a 22-9 vote, restricting new clean energy projects in a way that will harm much-needed energy generation in the state. The legislation adds onerous requirements to new solar projects that would not apply to other energy sources … [continued]
The solar energy is still alive and kicking in Texas, although two anti-renewables bills will go into effect on September 1 if state legislators pass them into law.
There’s a growing war on renewable energy, particularly in “red” districts and states in the USA. One of the things that is often bewilderingly forgotten by those attacking renewable energy is the enormous tax revenue (and overall economic benefits) solar, wind, and battery storage projects provide. A new report focused … [continued]
Last week, I wrote about the enormous growth in US manufacturing construction investment that has come from Joe Biden’s strong reshoring and new manufacturing policies (see graph above). Solar technology manufacturing is a part of that and the US Solar Market Insight Q4 2024 report released today by the US … [continued]
