By contributing author July 23, 2025 Engineering Consultant explains how the OBBB has already influenced the development of solar project – and what steps developers can take to adapt By Mike Schutz | Renewable developers are confronted with a hard truth after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB): the federal policy now makes a difficult stop at the momentum built under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The window is now narrow for projects to receive tax credits, and it already reforms how teams approach the development strategy and resources. In the technical advisory world we see…

Bifacial Cuinse2 solar cells achieve record efficiency on transparent substrates The distribution of energy and environmental technology at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has developed a thin film solar cell of the next generation that can generate electricity from both sides. Spearhead led by main investigators Daehwan Kim and Shijoon Sung, the Team Smalle Band Gap Cuinse2 made up solar cells with the help of copper, indium and selenium on transparent electrodes substrates, which introduces a bifacial architecture that increases the energy yield. Bifacial solar cells are designed to harvest sunlight from both the front and…

The latest report of the International Renewable Energy Agency finds in the global average level of electricity for the year at utilities at the utilities on an annual basis, while the global average total installed costs of solar projects on utility scale fell by 11%. July 23, 2025 Patrick Jowett The globalized weighted average level of electricity (LCO) Solar plants on Utility scale amounted to $ 0.043/kWh in 2024, according to the Final report of the International Office for Renewable Energy (Irena). The result is an increase of 0.6% on an annual basis, compared to a 12% decrease in the…

The unit will restore late life parks for life halfway. Image: Statkraft UK. Energy supplier OVO Energy has unveiled plans to launch a new business unit that focuses on generating renewable energy. The proposed new arm, called OVO -renewable energy sources, is planning to buy onshore wind farms that reach the middle to the late stages of their lifespan, before they are shepherfully using modern technology to extend their lifespan. OVO Renewables states that this will help to bring more green energy to customers faster by reducing the time required for infrastructure planning. OVO Energy states that OVO -renewable energy…

Tens of thousands of contaminated sites across the United States have resulted from accidents, spills, leaks, and improper disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. As of 2017, EPA and its partners reported overseeing approximately 640,000 to 1,319,100 facilities to prevent releases into communities. From abandoned industrial sites to former military bases, these contaminated areas represent a massive environmental and economic challenge that affects millions of Americans. Traditional soil remediation methods are only costly and energy-intensive, with thermal treatment approaches requiring elevated temperatures and electrical power to drive cleanup equipment. Remediation costs can range from $300 to $500 per ton for…
