  • 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. Example Projects Nevada Solar One Sierra SunTower Nellis Air Force Base DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center Developer: Acciona Developer: eSolar Developer: MMA Renewable Ventures Developer: Florida Power & Light Co.

  • Imperial Irrigation District (IID)
    Imperial Irrigation District (IID) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) presentation during its 11/16/15 Stakeholder meeting discussing the 2015-2016 Transmission Plan. IID’s comments are focused on the presentation entitled “Policy Driven Planning Deliverability Assessment Assumptions” and also on generation data shown under the 2015-2016 RPS Portfolio. 1. In the Policy Driven Planning presentation, third bullet, slide 4 “Import Assumptions” it states that IID imports through IID-SCE and IID-SDGE branch groups is increased from 2016 MIC. What is this new value of MIC for IID moving forward from 2016? 2. Further in this presentation it was mentioned that Imperial CREZ can accommodate up to 1750 MW of new generation. How is this 1750 MW determined? Can you provide a breakdown of where this generation is (or will be) located and how many MWs at each location? 3. IID’s internal studies have indicated that Imperial CREZ can actually accommodate up to about 2800 MW depending upon where generation is located while respecting the ECO- Miguel constrained path. Did CAISO consider the Locational Effectiveness Factor (LEF) while determining the 1750 MW? 4. A formal presentation was made to CAISO senior management in March 2015 to share the above IID findings through ZGlobal. CAISO subsequently, performed an internal study to verify ZGlobal’s findings and came up with a draft discussion paper recommending further analysis. 5. To follow up on IID internal study and ISO’s own study, IID is recommending that IID and ISO staff work together to identify the most promising locations for new renewables in the Imperial Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) to maximize the use of available transmission capacity in IID and CAISO systems to provide an overall benefit to California ratepayers.

  • Solar Power Card U.S
    NORTH SCORE AMERICAN SOLAR POWER CARD U.S. SOLAR POWER Canada - Solar Power Total grid-connected PV generating capacity for the U.S., end of Q1, 2019: 67,000 MW Total PV grid-connected capacity, end of 2018: 3,094 MW The growth in PV generated capacity during 2018: 10,600 megawatts Installed in 2018: 161 MW ✷ A report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) says that total installed U.S. PV capacity will more than double over the next five years, with annual installations reaching 16.4 GW in 2021. Canadian Solar Power Initiatives ✷ In Q1 2019, the U.S. solar market surpassed 2 million installations—just three years after the market surpassed the 1 million installation milestone. ✷ California and North Carolina remain the two largest solar states, with California topping 25,000 MW of solar power, and North Carolina now exceeding 5,400 MW of solar power. ✷ Canada’s federal government has announced the Climate Action Incentive Fund (CAIF) to help fight climate change. Under the CAIF program, small- and medium-sized enterprises could be eligible to receive up to 25 percent of their energy efficiency project costs. Eligible projects include the production of renewable energy, including solar energy projects. ✷ In its budget, the Canadian government announced new investments in moving Canada to a cleaner energy future based on renewable power and smart technologies. Particularly notable investments include $2.2 billion in additional infrastructure funding for communities, including for community energy systems; support for planning efforts by jurisdictions looking 4 to advance clean energy projects; and actions to help smooth Canada’s transition away Nevada from coal-fired power.

    SOLAR SOLAR POTENTIAL ALL THINGS FROM SOLAR Interesting note: nearly all of our energy sources originated from solar energy: . Bio-mass/bio-fuels: Plants need the sun to grow. Coal, oil, natural gas: Solar energy used by plants which became coal after billions of years and lots and lots of pressure . Wind: Uneven heating of the air by the sun causes some air to heat and rise. Cool air then comes in and replaces the warmer air. Ocean: Dependent partly on winds, which in turn depend on the sun. Hydro-Electric: The sun heats up water evaporating it. When it rains some of that water ends up behind damns. Notable exceptions: . Nuclear energy: Uranium or other heavy metal (fission) . Geothermal: Energy from the core of the Earth THE POWER OF THE SUN (US) If 150 sq km of Nevada was covered with 15% efficient solar cells, it could provide enough electricity for the entire country. What’s the problem? Source: M. McGehee, Stanford University J.A. Turner, Science 285 1999, p. 687. THE POWER OF THE SUN (WORLD) Insolation is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time – measured in 푊 . 푚2 On Earth’s surface, insolation depends on location. Sahara desert: 250-300 푊 avg 푚2 United Kingdom: 125 푊 avg 푚2 Santa Barbara: 200-250 푊 avg 푚2 SNAPSHOTS OF SOLAR ENERGY THROUGH HISTORY Early humans . Sun for warmth, (tans?) ~ 5th Century BC- Ancient Greece . Local supplies of coal and wood dwindled, rationed . As a result, building of homes to maximize solar energy (homes oriented towards Southern horizon) and city planning ~ 1st Century BC- Romans .
