Exciting developments are underway as Solway Solar is set to become a major player in renewable energy. Otter Tail Power Company is planning a groundbreaking solar facility in Lammers Township, designed to produce energy from 100,000 solar panels. Once fully operational by 2026, this project aims to supply electricity to approximately 9,000 homes.On December 9th, Otter Tail Power initiated a contact with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to explore the financial aspects of Solway Solar along with another solar project, Abercrombie Solar, in North Dakota. This strategic approach underscores the company’s commitment to making renewable energy more accessible and affordable.Otter Tail Power President Tim Rogelstad emphasized the advantages of the site selected for the solar farm
Read MoreThe European Union has made significant advancements toward a clean energy future, yet crucial challenges remain. As critical deadlines for decarbonisation loom, the focus needs to pivot sharply to energy storage solutions.Currently, renewable energy contributes to an impressive 44.7% of the EU's electricity generation, marking a substantial shift from fossil fuel dependence. With fossil fuel generation declining by 19.7% in just one year, there’s a clear push towards sustainability. However, to truly harness the potential of renewables, the EU must confront the pressing need for enhanced energy storage capabilities.Energy storage is essential for managing the variability of renewable sources, allowing surplus energy from sunny or windy days to be utilized during less favorable condi...
Read MoreThe Rise of Solar Energy in the U.S.Recent reports indicate a significant boom in solar energy installations in the United States, setting the stage for an energy transformation. By the end of 2024, the nation is on track to deploy nearly **50 gigawatts (GW)** of solar modules, marking an impressive **25% increase** compared to the previous year.Data from Ohm Analytics reveals that during the first three quarters of 2024, around **6 GW** was added to the distributed generation solar market. Experts anticipate that the total amount could reach **8.1 GW** by year's end. This late-year rush often occurs as solar property owners aim to complete projects and secure the Investment Tax Credit before the year's close.The utility-scale solar sector is expected to contribute significantly, w
Read MoreThreat to Renewable Energy StabilityThis summer, China's national power grid encountered a serious issue when Xinjiang, a region equipped with some of the world's largest renewable energy sources, experienced a dangerous “low-frequency power oscillation.” This fluctuation posed a significant threat to the stability of the grid in northwest China and could have impacted the entire nation.According to a report from the National Energy Administration (NEA), the root cause was identified as poor management of local power operations and an oversight in activating a necessary stabilisation system. Oscillations can arise in any electrical grid, but they present unique challenges when powered by variable renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Due to changing weather patterns, these e
Read MoreSolar Power Revolution in ChinaChina is poised to shatter its own records for solar capacity growth, projecting new installations to hit a staggering **230 to 260 gigawatts** this year. The **China Photovoltaic Industry Association's** data reveals that despite facing challenges like reduced profitability and inventory surpluses, the solar sector's momentum remains strong.Utility-scale solar projects in desert regions, alongside rapid expansion of rooftop solar systems and improved grid infrastructure, are ensuring that more solar-generated electricity reaches consumers effectively, minimizing wastage.However, manufacturers within this booming market are grappling with intense competition and oversupply issues, leading to plummeting prices for solar components. This has resulted in
Read MoreRevolutionary Solar Tariff on the Horizon! Energy Costs Set to Change Dramatically in 2025
Swiss energy provider CKW is on the brink of transforming how consumers connect with solar power. Starting in 2025, this innovative company, part of the Axpo group, will introduce a groundbreaking electricity tariff that shifts the focus from kilowatt-hours to kilowatts. This new pricing strategy aims to encourage users to optimize their electricity consumption throughout the day, enabling better grid management.Instead of the outdated pricing structure with separate costs for daytime and nighttime electricity, CKW plans to offer a single rate based on maximum power usage. By measuring demand in kilowatts, the company can more effectively manage energy distribution and promote the use of solar energy during peak daylight hours.This initiative is made possible by CKW's significant inv
