South Carolina’s Public Service Commission (PSC) rejected Duke Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for the Carolinas because of poorly made assumptions
US utility Duke Energy should refile its 2020 integrated resource plan (IRP) to effectively allow for the diversity benefits of solar and storage to be captured, it has been argued by energy consulting firm E3.
Several hundred megawatts of additional solar projects are set for completion in North and South Carolina in the next two years thanks to the resolution of a range of interconnection disputes.
Duke Energy Progress’ Integrated Resource Plan, published earlier this week, details how the US utility could turn to as much as 16GW of solar to meet surging any demand and replace retiring coal fleets.
