The new American president Donald J. Trump has released a first statement regarding the government’s energy plans. It puts clear emphasis on shale oil and completely ignores renewables in the USA.
Renewables are fast becoming more and more popular – a fact that many utilities seem to consider threatening, as they try various measures to block them. Environment America has now released a new report, explaining how to fight back.
Renewable energies reach historic number by making 15 % of the U.S. energy market. Albeit only 1.4 % of these renewables are placed in the solar sector, it still means a 40 % increase from 2015.
The U.S. utility-scale solar market is based largely on power purchase agreements. However, recently developers have taken a rather risky approach which endangers the whole industry.
