A new solar farm has been proposed for Benton County, Wash., while another massive renewable project in the county has passed one state hurdle.

Texas grid leaders met with reporters to once again allay concerns about ERCOT’s management of the state’s electric supply.

Parts of New Jersey’s electricity grid are so old and its capacity so limited that new solar projects can’t be connected in certain areas, developers said.

Drought, wildfires, plant retirements and transmission outages have elevated the risk of supply shortfalls in the West, Texas, MISO and SPP, NERC said.

NiSource will postpone retirement of an Indiana coal plant because of the Commerce Dept.'s probe into tariff evasion by Chinese importers of solar components.

For a moment on April 30, CAISO was able to serve 99.87% of its native load with renewable energy, beating the 97.6% record set just a month earlier.

The solar industry could take a hit if the US Commerce Dept. concludes that solar panels imported from 4 Asian countries are actually Chinese goods, SEIA said.

The RE+ Texas conference drew hundreds of renewable energy experts to the state that leads in wind production and may soon lead in solar energy too.

NV Energy is seeking proposals for renewable energy projects to add to its portfolio, including solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, biomass or biogas.
