    THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE FOR EPCS IN US RENEWABLES 14 OCTOBER 2014 SECTION 4. THE PLAYERS This section of the report analyzes players in EPC for solar and wind in the US. About this analysis This section is based mostly on data gathered from companies’ websites. Much of this analysis relies on linking firms to projects in our database, which contains nearly 3,000 wind and solar projects in the US at various stages of development. The information mapping projects to their EPCs is captured in our Industry Intelligence database, available to subscribers of our service. There are a number of assumptions, caveats, and methodological points that are important to note in the context of this analysis; an Appendix at the end of this report identifies these. 4.1. LEAGUE TABLES The charts below show the top EPC firms for solar and wind, ranked strictly in terms of historic activity – ie, this does not reflect any kind of qualitative assessment about firms’ competencies. • Top-ranked solar EPCs includes the three vertically-integrated giants – SunPower, First Solar, and SunEdison – and some EPC specialists, like Bechtel and Fluor, that have performed a small number of very large projects. • The league tables for wind are headlined by Mortenson, IEA, RES Americas, and Blattner (with Blattner under-represented, as explained in the Appendix).

    RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative: April 2016 Project Tracking Matrix The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the overall environmental RE-Powering America’s benefit of siting renewable energy projects on contaminated properties. Through Land Initiative the RE-Powering America’s Land Initiative, EPA is encouraging renewable energy development on current and formerly contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites To provide information on renewable energy on when such development is aligned with the community’s vision for the site. contaminated land projects not currently appearing Using publically available information, RE-Powering maintains a list of completed in this document, email [email protected]. renewable energy installations on contaminated sites and landfills. To date, the To receive updates, newsletters, and other RE-Powering Initiative has identified 179 renewable energy installations on 171 information about the RE-Powering program, contaminated lands, landfills, and mine sites1, with a cumulative installed capacity of click the banner below. just over 1,124 megawatts (MW) and consistent growth in total installations since the inception of the RE-Powering Initiative. Approximately 60% of these installations are Subscribe large-scale systems with a project capacity of 1 MW or more, either exporting energy EPA’s RE-Powering Listserv onto the utility grid or offsetting onsite energy demands. This document provides summary statistics of known installations and discusses emerging trends. In addition to the completed sites listed here, EPA is tracking more than 50 renewable energy projects on contaminated or disturbed properties in various stages of planning, approval, or construction. These include a 1.1-MW solar project under construction on a Meriden, CT landfill; a 2.25-MW solar project under construction on a coal ash landfill in Beloit, WI; and an 18.6-MW solar installation underway at the U.S.
  • Siting Solar Without Cutting Down Trees

    Siting Solar Without Cutting Down Trees

    Siting Solar Without Cutting Down Trees Griztko Erickson AMP and Lexington, Massachusetts • This project starts with the AMP’s Proposal to Lexington to be the anchor in a community solar deal • The project would have required a 10-acre deforestation and was backed with claims that solar panels have a better climate change value than trees • Better climate change value refers to the decrease in emissions from losing dependency on fossil fuels being greater than the carbon that 10-acres of forest would sequester. Is it Just about the Carbon Value? Trees offer much more than their functionality as carbon sinks • Trees sustain both habitats and biodiversity (a 2019 study from the UN’s Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services suggests 1 million plant and animal species worldwide face extinction) • Trees provide urban cooling and flood control • Prevent erosion • Filter toxins from the air and water • Provide natural resources • Raise property values Do Trees really need to be cut down? Forests offer vital and unquantifiable benefits aside from just carbon sequestration. Because solar panels can be fitted on many kinds of impervious surfaces, there are functioning, viable alternatives to deforestation for solar farms. DOER Model Zoning Bylaw • According to Mass Audubon: “In recent years, more than 25% of all new solar arrays were large-scale ground mounted arrays on former forests or farmlands.” At this rate, more than 100,000 acres of land will be converted. • DOER Model Zoning Bylaw discourages solar siting in locations that result in land or natural resource loss, such as farm and forest land.

    Operation Construction Development

    Major Solar Projects in the United States Operating, Under Construction, or Under Development Updated March 7, 2016 Overview This list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. The information in this list was gathered from public announcements of solar projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with individual developers. It is not a comprehensive list of all major solar projects under development. This list may be missing smaller projects that are not publicly announced. Particularly, many smaller projects located outside of California that are built on a short time-scale may be underrepresented on this list. Also, SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics and timelines. SEIA will remove a project if it is publicly announced that it has been cancelled. SEIA actively promotes public policy that minimizes regulatory uncertainty and encourages the accelerated deployment of utility-scale solar power. This list includes ground-mounted solar power plants 1 MW and larger.
