  • July 30, 2015 the Honorable Barack H. Obama the White House 1600
    July 30, 2015 The Honorable Barack H. Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama, As solar power installers, manufacturers, designers, aggregators, product suppliers, and consultants, we welcome the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, the first-ever federal limits on carbon pollution from power plants. Power plants account for 40 percent of America’s carbon pollution. The solar industry offers a wide range of technologies to generate energy pollution-free from the sun and reduce the need for polluting sources of energy. This plan is a critical step toward transforming our energy system to one that protects our health and environment, and that of our children. As state and community leaders begin to seek effective measures to reach these goals, we wish to underscore the tremendous potential of solar energy in cutting carbon pollution. At the White House Solar Summit in April 2014, you highlighted that every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar. As the nation’s fastest growing source of renewable energy, solar can play a major role in meeting our nation’s energy and environmental challenges. Solar energy already provides enough pollution-free electricity to displace 18 billion pounds of coal, and could be a game-changer in a well-crafted Clean Power Plan. With 143,000 Americans employed in the solar industry in more than 6,100 businesses across the nation, we stand by Gina McCarthy’s remarks that “we have never—nor will we ever—have to choose between a healthy economy and a healthy environment.” The rate of job growth in the solar industry is unmatched by any other sector in the nation.

  • Solar Energy Technologies Office U.S
    SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE U.S. Department of Energy 2018 PORTFOLIO Message from the Director Message from the Director Just over forty years ago, the idea that solar power could make the leap from powering satellites in space to powering the planet was the vision of only a few people, brought together by the shock of the first oil embargo. Today, solar power is everywhere. This Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) describes the path forward to tomorrow’s continuum of opportunities produced by the transformative power of solar energy. The exponential increase in applications powered by solar is directly tied to the predictable cost reduction experienced through economies of scale and continuous technology performance improvements. The MYPP delivers insights, goals, and objectives that are both inspirational and quantitatively framed by thoroughly documenting many of the pathways for achieving scale that have been built upon foundations of science and experience proven over decades. The MYPP describes the quantification and range of considerations appropriate to every dimension of the solar value chain: how feedstocks are prepared, how modeling informs the panorama of possibilities, how factories consistently operate, how manufacturing environment, health, and safety is planned and audited, how life cycle benefits are quantified, and how to best use resources – all while ensuring that business prospers. Through the orchestration of these elements of opportunity, it is possible to have development that is economically sustainable. The combination of information technology and low-cost solar technology has established the foundation for irreversible growth connecting the dots between the supply of cost competitive electricity and the need for power everywhere.

  • RE-Powering America's Land Initiative: Benefits Matrix, December 2020
    RE-POWERING AMERICA’S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX United States Environmental Protection Agency DECEMBER 2020 Office of Communications, Partnerships, and Analysis Office of Land and Emergency Management RE-POWERING AMERICA’S LAND INITIATIVE: BENEFITS MATRIX DECEMBER 2020 Across the United States, communities are generating revenue, realizing energy cost savings, and creating jobs when redeveloping formerly contaminated sites with renewable energy projects.1 Community goals such as meeting a local clean energy goal, cleaning up a former brownfield, or protecting greenspace may ENERGY COST stimulate action on a project. If you are considering developing a renewable energy project in your community, SAVINGS 41% the information presented here can be used to educate stakeholders on the REPORTED AT: OF SOLAR benefits of redeveloping formerly contaminated sites. EPA’s RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative presents the latest benefits findings from publicly available PROJECTS information from fact sheets, case studies and other resources on 382 projects across the country. 28% In this Report: OF WIND • Examine the list of projects starting on page 11 for details on community PROJECTS benefits for hundreds of projects. Cross-reference the site benefit information with additional information in the October 2020 Tracking Matrix. Examples of sites across the country exhibit benefits across a variety of technology types— wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal. • Examine summary findings to help policy experts and other practitioners understand current trends. • Read tips for Protecting Local Water Bodies which highlights the stormwater best practices for siting solar projects on landfills. • Read examples of two local areas that used Brownfield Grant funding: Indian Valley Wood Products Campus in Crescent Mills, California and American Public University System in Ranson and Charles Town, West Virginia.

  • Re-Powering America's Land Initiative: Project Tracking Matrix October 2020
    RE-POWERING AMERICA’S LAND INITIATIVE: PROJECT TRACKING MATRIX OCTOBER 2020 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the overall environmental benefit of siting renewable energy projects on contaminated properties. EPA’s 417 RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative, tracks renewable energy projects on WITH OVER 1.8 GIGAWATT INSTALLED CAPACITY formerly contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites to educate stakeholders and encourage future site development.1 This publication includes information about geothermal, biomass, solar and wind installations. EPA has identified current trends 30% in renewable energy development on contaminated lands including: of Sites • 417 renewable energy installations identified to date 91% • 91% of the installations are solar PV in MA Solar • 59% of the installations are located on former landfills • Massachusetts continues to lead the nation in siting solar on landfills and PV other sites with roughly 30% of all installations in the U.S. 6% • New York continues to be a top three state with renewable energy on Wind contaminated lands, including two wind installations totaling over 35 MW 417 Renewable Energy Projects, Over 1.8 Gigawatt Installed Capacity • Wyoming has the second most installed capacity out of the states with 16% of the total installed capacity, all of the capacity is from 5 wind installations. To date, the RE-Powering Initiative has identified 417 renewable energy installations on 390 contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites,2 with a cumulative installed capacity of 1,849.8 megawatts (MW). Approximately 69% of these installations are large-scale systems with a project capacity of 1 MW or more.
