When "solar freakin’ roadways" hit social media in 2014, most of us in the industry rolled our eyes. Are #solarfences just another application that is more fun than functional? Hardly! "Interest in solar fences is coming from sectors as varied as #agriculture, #transportation, commercial #realestate, and water infrastructure," reports contributor Dej K. in this in-depth article on solar fences. Read here: https://lnkd.in/gn4GP7he Thanks to Helge Biernath, president, CEO, and founder of Sunstall Inc. for his insight.

📢 Exciting news! Tory MP has recently urged Keir Starmer to confirm if his plans for a new wave of wind farms are unconnected to the million. Let's stay informed and engaged in the latest developments on renewable energy and its impact on the environment.

Check out how Southwest Louisiana lawmakers are voicing their concerns over a proposed solar farm project in Calcasieu and Jeff Davis parishes. They're requesting a hold on the project to ensure it complies with state regulations and safeguard the community's interests. Find out more about their decision and the reasoning behind it in this article. #LouisianaLawmakers #SolarFarmProject #CommunityProtection 🌞🌳🏡 https://lnkd.in/eQMJ9Wbc #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation

The Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township, Maine, has been awarded nearly $7.5 million for phase one of a new distributed microgrid. The project was one of 34 selected last month to receive funds from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program. Passamaquoddy Tribal membership is split between Indian Township and Pleasant Point, two reservation communities on Maine’s southeast coast. There are also members just across the border in New Brunswick, Canada. The microgrid will serve those living in Indian Township. The funds will be used to install solar systems, whole-home battery backups and load management technology on 202 single-family homes and two multi-family units, as well as develop grid-tied solar systems at the Tribal health center and government office. The microgrid will include more than 4,500 solar panels and 2,800 kWh of energy storage system capacity, producing nearly 2,000 MWh of renewable energy annually. The EPA awarded $300 million in grants to 33 different Tribes and one U.S. territory as part of the CPRG program. Several other recipients will also use the grants to develop microgrids, among other types of emissions-reducing projects. The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians will develop new grid-tied residential solar installations and a commercial microgrid at the Tribal Recycling Center. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians will develop a solar microgrid and storage system at the Cherokee Boys Club school bus depot. The Hopi Utilities Corporation will install a 10-MW solar photovoltaic and 10-MWh battery electric storage system microgrid with 11.9 miles of electric power distribution on the Hopi Reservation, offsetting 100% of grid electricity usage. The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska will install a microgrid powered by renewable energy. The La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians will install solar systems with battery electric storage microgrids at essential Tribal buildings, the San Pasqual Band Horizon Fuel Center, and several hundred Tribal residences.

How important is it to plan your #PollinatorHabitat around large-scale #SolarEnergy projects? It’s essential, which is why we are #StantecProud to have contributed to creating the newly published Solar Pollinator Implementation Manual. We worked with the University of Illinois Chicago’s Energy Resources Center for this guide that helps solar developers plan and implement their pollinator habitat. The guide is part of the Pollinator Habitat Aligned with Solar Energy (PHASE) research project. Learn more about the manual and PHASE. #sdg7 #sdg15

Register now for our upcoming webinar: Solar Energy and the Monarch CCAA! https://lnkd.in/g35QtNHW Solar energy is rapidly being deployed across the U.S. At the same time, many pollinator populations have sharply declined across North America. The upcoming federal listing decision for the monarch butterfly may affect not only site development, but also ongoing operations and maintenance.   This webinar will describe the Monarch CCAA, what is required to participate in it, and address how solar vegetation practices and land management can contribute to conservation through it. Considerations for the full lifespan of a project, plus management strategies and resources for supporting pollinator habitat on large-scale installations will also be shared. #SolarEnergy #ROWHWG #MonarchCCAA
