Danish operator will purchase 80GWh of electricity from new solar park. DANISH State Railways (DSB) has entered an agreement with European Energy to purchase electricity from a planned new solar park in eastern Denmark. Construction of Lidsø Solar Park will commence at Rødby Harbour in Lolland Municipality this autumn and upon completion in 2025 will have annual production capacity of 262GWh. Under the agreement, DSB will purchase 80GWh of electricity annually from the facility, equivalent to 50% of the current energy consumption of the Copenhagen S-Bane network. The 253ha solar…

A bill awaiting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s signature would prohibit homeowners associations from banning rooftop solar panels and other “energy-saving equipment.” The proposed Homeowners’ Energy Policy Act, or House Bill 5028, passed along party lines in the Democratic-led Legislature, and landed on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s desk on Thursday. 

The amount of wind and solar power under construction in China is now nearly twice as much as the rest of the world combined, a report has found. Research published on Thursday by Global Energy Monitor (GEM), an NGO, found that China has 180 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar power under construction and 15GW of wind power. That brings the total of wind and solar power under construction to 339GW, well ahead of the 40GW under construction in the US. The researchers only looked at solar farms with a capacity…

Avangrid Inc (NYSE:AGR), a US-based unit of Spanish utility Iberdrola SA (BME:IBE), announced it has completed the installation of the so-called “golden row” of panels at its Powell Creek solar project in Ohio that will have a direct current (DC) capacity of 202 MW. So far, more than 1,000 panels have been put in place at the site which is located in Putnam County near Miller City, the US firm noted in a statement on Wednesday. In total, the Powell Creek plant will house about 300,000 panels which will produce…

This coverage is made possible through a partnership with Grist and Interlochen Public Radio in Northern Michigan. People who want to install solar panels on their roofs have to consider a lot: sunlight, cost, and coordinating with contractors and utilities. Tens of millions of people across the country also have to think about their homeowners association.  In Michigan, a new law aims to remove that barrier by telling homeowners associations, or HOAs, they have to allow rooftop solar.  The Homeowners’ Energy Policy Act was signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on…

(Bloomberg) — Two of the world’s biggest solar manufacturers lost more than $1 billion in the first half as a massive glut in the Chinese market continued to hurt the sector, which is vital to combat climate change.  Longi Green Energy Technology Co., until recently the world’s biggest solar firm, said in a preliminary results filing late on Tuesday that a “mismatch” of supply and demand has led to a significant drop in prices for its major products, resulting in no revenue increase even as sales volumes rose. Its fellow…

Researchers searching for life beyond Earth spend a lot of time thinking about what telltale signs might be detectable astronomically. Forms of unambiguous evidence for the presence of life on another world are known as biosignatures. By extension, technosignatures are indicators of activity by intelligent, civilisation-building life. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, focuses on picking up signals that could be alien communication. We may be able to find alien life by detecting technosignatures: signs of advanced technology on a distant planet. Credit: 3000ad / Getty Images But other approaches…

Two weeks ago, the Defense Council of Zakarpattia called on all municipalities in the region to assess their renewable energy potential. Not everyone understands that the state will not be able to supply the communities with electricity for years because of the enemy’s actions and destruction of the power system, says Viktor Mykyta, Head of the Zakarpattia Oblast Military Administration. And there can be no development without electricity. Currently, the region is working to install gas-fired power plants by November and to provide some communities with the minimum energy needed…
