Carnival installing solar power at two Barcelona cruise terminals

The roof-mounted solar panels, a first for the port, are capable of supplying more than 100% of the energy needed to power daily operations and will reduce overall electricity consumption.

Carnival and the Port of Barcelona teamed up with a Catalonia-based solar provider to install the 1,350 panels at Palacruceros (Terminal D) and Helix Cruise Center (Terminal E), which will collectively produce 866,000-plus kilowatt-hours per year.

First of its kind ‘wireless’ solar energy storage plant opens in Cicero

A new solar-powered energy storage plant that recently opened in Cicero is the first of its kind in the country.

National Grid New York President Rudy Wynter said the new plant is unique because it uses wireless technology to transmit and help store energy that can be called upon during times of peak energy demand, “This is the first of its kind in that this is the first solar and storage non-wire alternative project we believe in the country,” he said.

National Grid teamed up with Convergent Energy to build the new energy storage plant which sits on 55 acres near Northern Boulevard in Cicero.

Thousands of Californians rally before utility commission to preserve rooftop solar

The “Don’t Tax the Sun” rally took place on June 2, drawing large crowds in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Solar advocates gave public comment before the California Public Utilities Commission to oppose provisions in the Net Energy Metering 3.0 policy that would severely damage the economics of rooftop solar.

Renewable energy data firm EQ Analysts said the proposal would lead to a 57-71% overall reduction in solar savings for homeowners. At the time, grid controls expert and economist-at-large Ahmad Faruqui lambasted the proposed decision as a “proposed dystopia” and offered ten reasons why.
