DTE Energy activates 132 MW solar park in Michigan funded by customers
DTE Energy has commissioned the 132 MW Fish Creek Solar facility in Michigan, which was financed by voluntary MIGreenPower subscribers rather than the general rate base. This project highlights a customer-funded model for renewable energy deployment that avoids increasing costs for non-participating ratepayers.
China Launches 8-Hour Thermal Energy Storage Solar Power Plant, Integrating 900MW of Solar PV
A 100MW molten salt tower-type solar thermal plant with 8-hour storage has been connected to the grid in Xinjiang, integrated with a 900MW PV facility. This project demonstrates a hybrid approach to managing renewable energy fluctuations and extending power supply duration.
Nearly 5,000 solar panels at 2,500 meters altitude, atop a dam and without road access: Muttsee's solar installation in the Swiss Alps generates 43% of its electricity in winter, when the country needs it most
The Muttsee project demonstrates the viability of high-altitude solar installations on dam walls, with 4,872 panels generating 43% of annual output in winter. This case study highlights how mountain solar can complement hydropower during periods of low water flow and high demand.
