RENEWABLES ROUND UP

FERC Ruling Opens Solar Market Potential to Co-Ops and Munis U.S. co-ops currently own and purchase about 16.7GW of renewable capacity (including contracts for federal hydropower), and this number will continue to rise in part by solar photovoltaic projects’ expanded presence. As many distribution co-ops and municipal utilities exercise their independence to purchase more renewable energy, Sol Systems continues to provide financing for local solar developers. The mass integration of solar into existing energy systems is not achieved overnight; financing, development, increased grid flexibility, and additional means to ensure the energy source’s reliability will be necessary. Still, the future of solar among rural electric co-ops and municipal utilities is certainly brighter.

The high cost of the electrical energy in Thailand, compared to other south eastern countries, makes it difficult for the industrial sector to preserve competitive prices maintaining high-quality standards. Tapioca pulp is a tuber usually cultivated in tropical areas.

Lord Nicholas Stern

Today’s young people can and should hold their parents’ generation to account for their present actions. They can elicit an emotional response that can motivate action.
