US solar developer Pine Gate Renewables has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 1GW of utility-scale solar PV in late-stage development in the US
The decision of US President Joe Biden to waive tariffs on solar imports from Southeast Asia for two years and authorise the US Department of Energy (DOE) to use the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate the production of clean energy technologies, including PV modules and module components, has been broadly welcomed by the US solar sector and industry analysts.
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.
Pine Gate Renewables has started construction on Bowman Solar, a 101MW PV project spanning 263 hectares in Orangeburg County, South Carolina. Once completed, the site will be one of the largest solar projects in the state.
