Johns Hopkins taps SolarCity, Direct Energy, OneEnergy Renewables for 13.6-MW solar install
Jan 8, 2016
Johns Hopkins says it is time to start producing some of its own affordable, reliable energy. But due to lack of roof or ground space on current facilities for such a large-scale solar project, Johns Hopkins chose a remote solar arrangement that could still provide its facilities with affordable power.
The solar project, Johns Hopkins’ first, is located in Queen Anne’s County, Md., and is expected to offset about 18 percent of the total energy...

Local View: State must step up game on renewable energy
Aug 5, 2015
As the CEO of a Seattle-based solar company, I know that our state's forward-looking clean energy policies are a major reason why cutting-edge businesses have decided to set up shop here in Washington.
But in the past decade, other states have caught on. They've learned from our example. They've learned that investing in clean tech and passing smart energy legislation means more high-paying jobs, better business opportunities and less...

More than ever, the promise of rooftop PV is reaching businesses nationwide. As of mid-2014, there were 4,531MW of commercial solar PV installed on 41,803 business, non-profit and government locations throughout the US. Unfortunately, not all organizations have adequate rooftops to host a solar system; others don’t own their facilities. Historically these customers have been left out of the race to slash electricity bills and to enhance their...
Large Scale Renewables Proposal Expands Opportunities in New York

Off-Site Solar: Tapping The Financial and Environmental Benefits
Jun 1, 2015
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ON-SITE SOLAR PROJECT ISN’T PRACTICAL?
Advances in solar technology and a sharp decline in equipment costs have transformed electricity customers from “price takers” to “price choosers.” On-site solar customers receive electricity at a fixed, predictable price. Even as energy costs rise over time, the price of solar power remains constant. Stable renewable energy contracts hedge against electricity pricing hikes and...
The Evolution of Customer Renewable Energy Choice, From RECs to Offsite PPAs
May 1, 2015
Customer access to clean energy has increased dramatically in the past 15 years, as technology cost reductions, electricity market deregulation, and financial creativity have combined to produce more accessible renewable products for end users.
Energy managers now have a wealth of tools at their disposal. The most recent product class is the offsite solar PPA. This product represents the fourth major way that large electricity buyers can...
The solar industry has driven down project installation costs dramatically, and moderate price declines are predicted to continue. From the energy buyer's perspective, this begs the question "Why buy solar power now if it will be cheaper next month or even next year?"
The primary reason to act sooner rather than later is the looming cut to the federal investment tax credit for solar, which is equal to 30% of the project’s cost. Only...

Here in Annapolis, sea-level rise fueled by climate change is a big threat to our local economy.
Fortunately, our state legislators can directly address climate change's rising costs — and in the process expand business opportunities that create high-paying Maryland jobs — by passing the Maryland Clean Energy Advancement Act this year.
Moving forward with this legislation would increase our state's clean electricity requirement, also known as...
