AffiliationA solar developer based in West Hartford, and NJR Clean Energy Ventures (CEV)The subsidiary of renewable energy of New Jersey Resources, today celebrated the groundbreaking of Glastonbury Solar One, a 3-MW community solar project in Glastonbury, Connecticut. This marks the first project under construction of the strategic partnership between the two organizations announced in October 2024 to develop projects for solar energy and solar storage on solar energy in the northeast. Glastonbury Solar One is part of a portfolio of 18 projects in advanced development phases of Connecticut, Maine, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. This series of projects is more than…
Researchers in the Netherlands have identified all major solar power plants in the Dutch province of Gelderland and have analyzed all their spatial measures in an attempt to assess their impact on the landscape. They are specifically aimed at land use competition, biodiversity and landscape experience. June 16, 2025 Lior Kahana Scientists from Wageningen University and research in the Netherlands have carried out a comparative case study of spatial measures in 46 Dutch solar energy plants (SPPs). The spatial analysis resulted in the identification of 43 types of spatial measures, classified as tackling competition, biodiversity or landscape experience. “Our comparative…
On Tuesday, June 17, West Virginians from the entire state will take action in response to Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power’s Proposed base speed increase and drastic cutbacks on compensation on the roof. Residents gather during a meeting outside the Public Service Commission (PSC) in Charleston and during a community streaming and speaking event in the Ohio County Public Library in Wheeling to resist the tariff rise and access to access to solar and energy freedom. AEP’s proposal would significantly increase the electricity accounts for all customers – residential, commercial and industrial – despite the fact that West -Virginians already…
On June 13 Veto has a veto legislation from GOV. Greg Gianforte Veto from Veto who would have created a community sun program in Montana. Proponents of solar energy, including the Coalition for Community Solar Access, had sent a letter to the Montana Public Services Commission that would be hand in hand with supervisors and legislators about the details of the program if accepted. “We are confused by the decision of Governor Gianforte for Veto SB 188 too Veto, a two-fold, pro-bus account that has been passed on with overwhelming support of more than 100 legislators in party lines and…
An overview of the use of statistical probability to understand the results of solar production. June 16, 2025 Rocco Fucetola If you work in solar energy, you are destined to hear or encounter the term P50 or P90 or P99. This is initially a very confusing concept. The ‘P’ is for probability and the number of backlog is the probability level (eg 50%, 90%, 99%). However, the probability is inherently quite difficult to understand for us people. We love determinism; cause and effect. Do not do homework, I get a bad grade on my test. Train for a sport and…
OFGEM has awarded GBP 500,000 ($ 677,000) to a consortium led by National Gas and Gravitricity to develop a fed asylum system for storing a maximum of 100 tonnes of green hydrogen underground. The six -month project is intended to assess the feasibility prior to a possible demonstration in 2026. June 16, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Orgem has awarded GBP 500,000 in financing to a consortium to develop a new type of underground hydrogen storage that is designed to contain up to 100 tonnes of green hydrogen in specially built underground lined shafts. “The technology can be located where necessary -…
The heating specialist based in the US said that his new water-to-water system of the variable speed has a performance coefficient of 3.2 with full load and 3.8 for part load. June 16, 2025 Lior Kahana The Illinois -based heat pump manufacturer Enertech has announced a new geothermal heat pump for residential applications. The water-fast water-to-water (WV) system has a heating coefficient (COP) of 3.2 with full load and 3.8 for sub-tax. “Only 42 inches (107 cm) long, redefines the WV versatility through radiant in-floor heating, forced air heating and cooling, and up to 100% of the household hot water…
By Brad Kramer June 16, 2025 This edition of Projects weekly Highlights Avangrid’s latest project in Kern County, California. Moreover, we look at the growing solar port folio of Geronimo Power in Ohio, Greenskies new completed project for the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU), and Desri starts with the construction of a Solar + storage project in Arizona. We spill the tea in the paragraphs below! Avangrid Inc. has achieved commercial activities at its Camino Solar project in Kern County, California. The 57 MWDC (44 MWAC) project, the seventh energy facility of Avangrid in California, currently offers power to…
Form shifting perovskiet materials show promising for LEDs and solar energy In the search for more efficient technologies for renewable energy, researchers from the University of Utah brought the potential of Ruddlesden-Popper Perovskites-layered hybrid materials to the attention with promising applications in LEDs, solar cells and thermal energy storage. Graduated student Perry Martin, who worked in the Bischak Lab of the Chemistry department, led a study using temperature -sensitive spectroscopy and X -ray fraction to investigate how these materials change. Known as phase transitions, these shifts influence the optical behavior of the perovskites. Because the structure has both organic and…
The spending review 2025 (SR25) confirmed £ 13.2 billion in expenditure between 2025-26 and 2029-30 for the scheme. Image: Lauren Hurley / Desnz via Flickr. The British government has confirmed that the Warm Homes plan is supported by £ 13.2 billion in financing, which can save households on accounts. In addition to insulation and other energy efficiency measures, the Warm Homes-plan will unlock savings to a heading total of £ 600 discount on energy bills by helping consumers install “heat pumps and other low-carbon technologies, such as solar panels and batteries”. The expenditure review 2025 (SR25) confirmed £ 13.2 billion…
