Renewables made up 92% of new generating capacity in the U.S. in the first half of 2021

[abu afak]

New renewable energy capacity addition grew 73% year-on-year in the third quarter this fiscal​

India installed 3,316 MW of non-hydro renewable energy capacity in the third quarter of FY2021-22, compared to just 1,914 MW installed in the same period last year.
Out of this, 93% (3,072 MW) came from solar.
FEBRUARY 10, 2022

India added 3,316 MW of new non-hydro renewable energy capacity from solar, wind, biomass and other RE sources during the third quarter of FY2021-22, which is 73% more than just 1,914 MW installed in the same period last year, according to the latest edition of the CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) Market Handbook released today. However, compared to the preceding quarter, new non-hydro RE capacity additions fell by 27% on account of intensifying supply chain constraints.

Solar energy, at 3,072 MW, comprised 93% of the total RE capacity added during the quarter, driven partly by a 142% rise in rooftop solar installations to 700 MW. This growth in new capacity was registered despite a 40% jump in the prices of solar PV modules to INR 21/Watt-peak, over the last year, stated the report. An increase in the cost of raw materials and supply chain constraints resulted in rising solar PV module costs.

Duke Energy Florida announces 4 new solar sites​

July 21, 2021

• New sites are part of $1-billion statewide solar investment.​

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Duke Energy Florida today announced the locations of its four newest solar power plants – the latest move in the company’s program to expand its renewable generation portfolio.
“We continue investing in utility-scale solar in Florida because our customers deserve a cleaner energy future,” said Duke Energy Florida state president Melissa Seixas. “These solar plants are the latest milestones in our strategy to deliver reliable, cost-effective, clean energy to our customers.”

Duke Energy Florida plans to invest an estimated $1 billion in 10 new solar power plants across Florida, including the four sites announced today.

Construction on the four sites will begin in early 2022 and will take approximately 9 to 12 months to complete. Construction of all 10 sites is projected to be finished by late 2024.
Combined, the plants will produce about 750 megawatts (MW) of new, cost-effective solar power.

Renewables are brilliant -

Wind farms were paid not to generate half their potential electricity

MPs say ‘constraint payments’ made to three farms in 2020 are an example of unnecessary costs being charged to consumers

What a dumb fuck you are. That is because at present there is not the storage capacity for the excess that renewables generate. When that is in place, not only will that be used, but it will put the peaker plants out of business, and reduce the cost of electricity to the consumer.

Renewables should have always designed for at least 3 to 7 days worth of storage. It's criminal they haven't.

The China question s0n?

Do you realize there is a country called China on the other side of the world?

Is part of the plan to build a 35,000 foot dome over the US?

d0y.........why nobody cares.

Of course such a dumb fuck as you simply cannot realize that China builds more renewable energy than any other nation in the world. And plants more forest than all the other nations put together. I totally do not agree with their adding more coal fired plants, even though I understand why they do it. In the end, it will bite them harder than they realize. However, we are number 2 in GHG pollution, and there is no reason for that, other than greed.

"New generating capacity"? What does that mean? Of course "renewables" accounted for 92% of "new generating capacity", why not 100%? That's what the term "new generating" implies. The problem is that the entire "renewable" capacity of the U.S. energy grid doesn't amount to spit.

20% of the delivered electricity in the US does not amount to spit? God, man, you are really revealing what an idiot you are. Coal is now only 19%, and that number will rapidly shrink. Natural gas is 40%, will remain steady for a while, then also rapidly shrink. Due to cost, nuclear, at present, 20%, will also go away. It is economics driving the switch to renewables, not government.

What a retarded fuck you are. Double cost to the consumer.

Why isn't it a requirement that all renewable sources have battery back up or some other means to make up the difference when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing?

That's seven posts/Trolls in six threads (in 10 mins) you Obsessively STALKED.
I generally just ignore and use them now when I want to bump up my threads.

You're a ONE LINE TROLL, but again good for looking like my posts are replies instead of blogging.

Keeping you honest is a full time job. I usually don't need more than a sentence or two to do it.

Again......calling others "dumb fucks"

Chinese green energy!!

Thats like a guy telling his pals he's modified his car and shows up at the car show with a brand new hubcap!

Did I mention how many coal plants China builds every month? And will every month until 2030!



All those "dumb fucks"!!!

Americans used more electricity generated from renewables than from nuclear and coal in 2021​

By Kelly Pickerel | March 31, 2022


Domestic production and consumption of renewable energy reached an all-time high in 2021, according to a SUN DAY Campaign analysis of new data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The latest issue of EIA’s “Monthly Energy Review” report (with data through December 31, 2021) reveals that renewable sources accounted for more than one-eighth (12.61%) of the U.S. energy produced and 12.49% of the energy consumed for electricity, transportation, heating and other uses. Renewable energy production during 2021 was 12.317 quadrillion Btu — 5.39% more than in 2020 and 5.89% more than in 2019.

A sharp drop in hydropower (down 8.79%) was more than offset by growth in all non-hydro renewables: solar energy (up 23.84%), wind (up 12.38%), biofuels (up 7.52%), geothermal (up 1.48%) and biomass (up 1.00%)....
