PV Tech Premium spoke with the CCSA on utilities in California, Washington and Virginia slowing down the progress of community solar.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has released a Proposed Decision (PD) for the US state’s community solar programme that will expand existing programmes and authorise a new one yet falls short of expectations.

Between 2024 and 2028 the US community solar market is expected to add 7.6GW of new capacity in existing state markets, according to a report from Wood Mackenzie and the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA).

US community solar company Nautilus Solar Energy has acquired a portfolio of 16 community solar projects with a combined capacity of 75.6MW.

“The formation of Solar Powers Illinois stems from the passage of critical legislation: the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.”

A total of three trade associations in the US have established Solar Powers Illinois, hoping to promote the benefits of solar in Illinois.

After the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, growth of community solar is expected to accelerate due to federal and state-level laws.

At least 7GW of US community solar is expected to come online in the next five years, according to a new research from Wood Mackenzie.

The Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA) has released a community solar policy decision tool that provides actionable recommendations for developing community solar programmes nationwide.

A guide to help US consumers make decisions on community solar has been released by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the trade organisation Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA).
