North Carolina is making another effort at freezing the state’s 12.5% by 2021 renewable energy standard, via a bill introduced by lawmaker Chris Millis.
News in Brief: Utah's Museum of Ancient Life installs 1,500 solar panels, California's Great America amusement park is now 100% renewable, Intel unveils the second largest solar carport in the country, SunPower installs systems at Macy's and Bloomingdales for Earth Week, and the 10MW US Army solar facility at Fort Rucker is now online.
In celebration of Earth Week, Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker announced six separate programmes to promote clean energy and energy efficiency, with a focus on solar energy.
The PUC might have undergone a change of heart, but monopoly utility NV Energy is attempting to stand in the way of the bill that could restore the state's rooftop solar industry.
Whilst this claim that 'solar is for the rich' has previously never been supported by any data-based analysis, a new report by GTM Research and PowerScout could suggest that there may be some truth in this.
