This edition of the Projects weekly Highlights DCE Solar Overcoming challenging terrain, solar landscape that stimulates 14 new community solar projects, Green Lantern Solar adds 30 new projects to the pipeline, plus the newest Solar Project News of EDP Renewables, Ameresco, Avangrid and Znshine. Let’s go there!
Speaking of that challenging site …
The Old Hill Farm Solar Project, developed by Woodfield Renewable Partners, marks an important step forward in promoting renewable energy in New York. This project is an example of the power of cooperation solution in the development of solar energy. By using advanced racking technology and the implementation of expert site, DCE SOLAR And DCE services have successfully delivered a structurally solid, well-performing and visually coherent solar array. Their work on Old Hill Farm is a precedent for overcoming complex site conditions and promoting solutions for sustainable energy in the United States.
Cool factor: With 6.1 MW and with 11,414 Canadian solar modules, this project was faced with a formidable challenge – installing a solar -sarray on steep, uneven terrain without excessive land disorders. To tackle this, DCE Solar’s long wingspan was selected ground rack system due to the adaptability of difficult sites. The innovative design reduced the basic points, minimizing soil disruption and maximizing structural stability. However, implementation was just as critical as design, and this is where DCE services played a crucial role. Their precision expertise for drilling and mechanical installation ensured that the rack system was not only placed safely, but also seamlessly integrated into the natural contours of the site.
Solar Landscape Energie gives 14 new community solar projects in Maryland
Solar landscape has confirmed 14 new community projects in Maryland, for a total capacity of 6.6 MW, which is conducted directly in the Energieret of the State.
“Community Solar Projects such as we have ratified, create jobs, reduce energy costs and help Maryland meet its energy needs,” said Solar Landscape CEO and co-founder Shaun Keegan. “Placing large solar installations on commercial roofs is a smart, kick-ready energy solution that also pays dividends to owners of buildings.”
Cool factor: These new installations are the first of the 57 projects of Solar Landscape in Maryland, all organized on commercial roofs, so that it has been developed the largest group of community projects developed by a single company in Maryland. Once upheld, they will offer 55 MWDC in solar capacity collective, with 5,870 houses.
Ameresco completes 1.2 MW Solar Project on Killeen Regional Airport in Texas
Ameresco Inc. has completed the solesis of Solar Energy in the Covered Parking project of Killeen Regional Airport. The project is intended to significantly improve travelership experience by offering covered parking in short-term parking and rental parties, together with an LED retrofit at the airport. This initiative not only shows a strong dedication to sustainability, but also offers substantial economic benefits by reducing energy costs in the long term. This project in the Central Texas region is proof of the vision described by airport leadership and their relentless dedication to creating a sustainable future.
The project was made possible through a competitive subsidy process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Terminals Program (ATP). The last scope of the project was more than $ 7 million, with a subsidy allocation of $ 5 million. This investment is estimated to compensate for an estimated 68% of the purchased electricity from the airport.
Cool factor: The 1.2 MW project includes a robust component for solar energy, with a solar panel for the terminal, a solar panel for the rental party and a solar panel for the parking space in the short term. Moreover, it includes an extensive adjustment of the terminal lighting, which replaces interior and exterior lights with energy-efficient and long-term LEDs. To further improve the traveler’s convenience and accessibility, a covered pedestrian walk has been built, which seamlessly connects the terminal with the rental party.
“This marks the first major solar project of our city,” said Mayor Debbie Nash-King. “It is proof of the proactive approach to our environmental management staff and our dedication to create a greener future for the coming generations.”
Avangrid supplies first energy from Powell Creek Solar Project to Ohio Grid
Avangrid Inc.The Powell Creek Solar project in Putell Creek in Putnam County, Ohio, started exporting energy to the local electric grid, which represents a new energy generation to support the growing demand in Ohio and the rest of the region. Avangrid continues with commissioning activities and other related work before commercial operation that is expected later this year.
“Powell Creek is an important solar project on the utility company that will contribute to the economy of Northwest Ohio and the independence of energy,” said Pedro Azagra, CEO of Avangrid. “This project comes online because the demand for energy demand throughout the country continues to rise, partly due to the growth of production, electrification and data centers. When we add new energy sources to the schedule, such as Powell Creek, we create a more robust and reliable electricity infrastructure compared to the local community, region and state.”
Cool factor: The project will support the community directly through real estate tax and landowners. The project will be estimated to contribute more than $ 31 million to local burdensome areas during his life, which supports a variety of public services, including education. This is Avangrid’s second project in Ohio. Avangrid built his Blue Creek project in 2012, which has a capacity of 304 MW.
Powell Creek has a capacity of 150 MWAC (202 MWDC) and has 300,000 solar panels. The project supported around 500 jobs during construction, most are local trade union workers from the region. Powell Creek is on land that is rented directly from landowners
Znshine Solar supplies modules for 67 MW Signal Ranch Solar Project in Texas
Manufacturer Znshine Solar contributed 54,648 MW of highly efficient bifacial modules to the 67 MW Signal Ranch Solar Project. Located on BT Signal Ranch in Quinlan, Texas, the Financial Closure project achieved on December 15, 2023, arranged by Eastwest Bank via non-recurrent financing.
Cool factor: Developed by adaptation extensions and Belltown Power, with SOLV Energy that serves as EPC, the project has 550 W Bifacial Double glass of monocrystalline Perc modules and offers a 30-year operational lifespan with <0.5% annual breakdown.
Green Lantern Solar Developing 30 Project Pipeline
Green Lantern Solar Entering a new chapter of growth with a renewed momentum, promotes its mission to breathe new life into under -utilized country, strengthen local communities and accelerate the transition from the nation to clean, reliable energy. With a growing pipeline of more than 40 solar and storage projects in several states, the company expands its ability to deliver localized energy solutions that generate long-term value for landowners, companies, utilities and communities.
“Every project that we develop is an opportunity to generate long -term value for our project communities, for our landowners, for our partners and for the Clean Energy Future that we help create,” said Scott Buckley, president of Green Lantern Solar.
Cool factor: In the past 12 months, Green Lantern Solar has added 30 new solar and storage projects to his pipeline, which extends the ability to supply localized solutions for renewable energy that benefit communities, landowners, companies and utilities. The company has also added various new team members and solidified partnerships with leading companies of renewable energy companies.
EDP Renewables adds 100 MW Solar Park with Amazon-stunned solar park in Indiana
EDP Renewables North America LLC (EDPR na) celebrates the launch of his 100 MW RiverStart III Solar Park In Randolph County, Indiana. This newest third phase of the RiverStart Solar Park continues to improve the energy benefit, reliability and affordability of the province, while the local economy is growing.
The project will give up an estimated $ 32.8 million to be paid to local authorities in the form of tax payments, which means that provincial and local institutions can grow. The construction of the third phase of RiverStart created more than 350 jobs, where multiple tasks have to be made during the operation. EDPR NA is a leader of renewable energy in Indiana and has a clean energy projects of a total of 1.7 GW -generating capacity.
