“The industry has to continue to be aggressive,” says Luigi Resta, president of US renewable energy and energy storage developer rPlus Energies, on the US remaining a competitive market for energy storage.

Estuary Power has commenced operations of the 185MW solar, 400MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) Escape project in Lincoln County, Nevada, US.

In light of lengthy interconnection delays, independent power producer (IPP) NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) has successfully renegotiated the terms of an offtake agreement associated with one of the developer’s solar and storage projects located in Clark County, Nevada. 

Ty Daul, CEO of Primergy, discusses how the Quinbrook-launched developer brought online the US’s largest co-located solar-plus-storage power plant.

An “unbelievable appetite for clean energy” is pushing the developer of Gemini, the US’s largest co-located solar-plus-storage power plant, to pursue opportunities of a similar scale.

Utility NV Energy has received state regulatory approval of a group of PPAs with a cumulative storage capacity exceeding 1GW as part of the investor-owned utility’s (IOU’s) 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). 

Primergy has secured US$225 million in project financing to support its “Valley of Fire” project portfolio across Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.

The US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has progressed nine hybrid solar and storage facilities located across the states of Nevada and Arizona.

Project owners Quinbrook and Primergy have put their 1.4GWh Gemini solar-plus-storage project in Nevada online, claiming it is the largest such project in the US.

NV Energy is seeking approval from the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada of its 2024 IRP which it submitted on 31 May 2024.
