Minnesotans are facing concurrent crises of climate change, high energy prices and inflation, and the inequitable public health impacts of fossil fuel air pollution. Renewable energy will help with all of that—but we need a grid that is designed for wind and solar instead of having to rely on expensive coal and gas plants.

But rather than ramping up the use of polluting fossil gas, this is the perfect moment for the province to transition to clean and safe renewable energy. One is that gas plant contracts signed (or renewed) before 2025 will be able to evade meeting the national CERs beyond 2035 which is when the regulations are supposed to kick in. .

The new 100 MW Oruro solar plant is a boost to Bolivia’s energy transition, but there are obstacles to harnessing the radiation potential of its western highlands. Perched at 3,730 metres above sea level in the community of Ancotanga, the Oruro solar power plant is one of the flagship projects in Bolivia’s energy transition.

Solar energy production starts to dwindle by September. Solar power peaks earlier in the summer when the days are longer. By September, the sun sets earlier in the evening, and solar power production tapers off when people are still using substantial amounts of electricity in the evening. heat pumps !).

In June, SPP issued a $3 million grant to the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) to increase renewable energy in the region’s power systems. The cooperation has resulted in the installation of 10,000 megawatts of new energy capacity, enough to power nearly 8 million homes. © Dita Alangkara/AP. million people.
