What solar projects are coming to the power grid in ?
This year, massive solar farms, offshore wind turbines, and grid-scale energy storage systems will join the power grid. Dozens of large-scale solar, wind, and storage projects will come online worldwide in , representing several gigawatts of new capacity. The Oasis de Atacama in Chile will be the world’s largest storage-plus-solar project.
Why is solar-plus-storage so popular?
The reason behind solar-plus-storage’s surge is clear – they’re the cheapest technologies and the fastest available to bring online. NextEra Energy, one of the country’s largest utilities, underlined this on its most recent earnings call, when executives said “You can build a storage facility in 15 months and a solar project in 18 months.
