🌊✨ Utah’s First Floating Solar Project: A Game Changer for Clean Energy! 🌞💧 Utah has taken a big leap in renewable energy with the commissioning of its first-ever floating solar array at the Signal Hill Water Treatment Plant. Developed in partnership with Ameresco and D3Energy, this innovative project floats atop a holding pond, supplying 871,086 KWh of clean energy annually. By offsetting 92% of the plant’s grid energy consumption, the array is set to reduce energy costs by 80% and cut carbon emissions by 609 metric tons every year. 🌍💡 The Signal Hill project is supported by Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky Award, driving sustainability while helping the local community. This groundbreaking initiative opens the door to maximizing energy production without consuming valuable land resources. It’s a big step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. 🏞️🌱 “By rethinking where we install solar, we unlock new opportunities for sustainability,” says Lou Maltezos, executive VP of Ameresco. This project shows how floating solar arrays could help us meet energy demands in innovative and eco-friendly ways. #FloatingSolar #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech #SolarPower #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #Innovation #Utah #NetZero

The National Solar Trend Report reveals huge potential for solar power in the Netherlands. Projections show 59 GWp by 2030, 98 GWp by 2035, and 172 GWp by 2050. To meet these targets, annual growth of 5 GWp is needed, rising to 8 GWp post-2030. Residential and commercial sectors seek innovative projects with minimal grid impact, requiring collaboration between industry and policymakers. As a renewable energy leader, the Netherlands can set a global example. At Energy Ports, our solar carports offer space-maximizing and clean energy solutions, all while stacking values for your company. Setting us apart and ready to shape tomorrow's solar landscape. #SolarEnergy #RenewableFuture #EnergyPorts #Innovation #Sustainability

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Community Solar Partnership aims to expand affordable community solar access nationwide. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) leads this effort through the "Sharing the Sun" project, which tracks progress in three key areas: the availability of community solar projects by state, the affordability of subscriptions for residential users, and the inclusion of low-income households in these programs. By analyzing and monitoring these metrics, the partnership works towards making community solar accessible and affordable for all U.S. households (Energy.gov).

Wyoming is gearing up to house the largest solar power project in the state! Enbridge Inc.'s $1.2 billion solar farm will supply electricity to data centers in south Cheyenne, highlighting Wyoming's commitment to renewable energy. With construction set to start in 2025, the project aims to power over 771,000 homes and create job opportunities. Despite challenges, the solar farm's innovative design shows a dedication to coexisting with local ranchers and supporting sustainable energy sources for the future. #WyomingSolarProject #RenewableEnergy 💡🌞🌱 https://lnkd.in/eeDq4tJF #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation

Join the global Solar ScaleUp Challenge. Are you an innovator, developer, engineer or financier looking to deliver large-scale solar projects? Or someone with an exciting solution from another industry that could be used in solar projects? The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Greenhouse’s global Solar ScaleUp Challenge is now open. Solar photovoltaic technology is key for global decarbonisation and the renewable energy transition. Large-scale solar deployment can unlock other renewable innovations, provide cheap electricity, grow new industries and help decarbonise high-emitting industries. But new solutions are needed to reduce costs, drive demand and unlock significant scale. So be part of the solution – join the Solar ScaleUp Challenge with other key players involved with solar farms around the world. Create a team and collaborate on ways to reduce the cost of large-scale solar installation, operation or maintenance. Teams have the opportunity to submit their solar proposals to access funding from a $100m grant pool within ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program. Together we can help the world achieve net zero with solar power.

Utah's first floating solar project is now complete! They installed a 587.5-kW floating solar array on the holding pond at the Signal Hill Water Treatment Plant. This innovative project will offset 92% of the plant's grid energy consumption and is expected to reduce energy costs by 80%. Supported by a $400,000 grant from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky Award program, this solar installation makes efficient use of water surfaces, maximizing energy production without impacting land resources. Completed ahead of schedule, the array will be fully operational by October 23, 2024. As Chris Braun, Mountain Regional’s CTO, stated: “This innovative floating solar installation makes use of an untapped resource. It’s another piece of the puzzle in our journey toward a Net-Zero energy goal." This project demonstrates the potential of renewable energy to drive sustainable development in new and exciting ways. #FloatingSolar #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Innovation #NetZeroGoals #GreenEnergy
