Super Bowl LVIII powered entirely by Nevada solar-plus-storage project

Super Bowl LVIII was powered entirely by renewable power, with an EDF Renewables solar-plus-storage project in Nevada meeting the energy demands of the final game of the 2023 NFL season.

The game, which took place on 11 February, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, required 28MWh of electricity, according to climate tracker NZero, which was provided by EDF’s Arrow Canyon project. The solar-plus-storage project has a power generation capacity of 275MW, alongside a 5-hour battery energy storage (BESS) facility with a capacity of 75MW, which reached commercial operation last November.

San Diego Community Power has agreed to sign contracts for a pair of solar and battery storage projects — one in NV & one in Imperial County.

San Diego Community Power green-lights a pair of renewable power projects

,

San Diego Community Power, the community energy program that has enrolled about 900,000 accounts in the region, has approved a pair of solar-plus-storage projects to boost the amount of renewable power it delivers to customers in the next two years.

The first is a 20-year deal with the Yellow Pine III project in Clark County, Nevada, that will deliver 35 megawatts of solar power capacity and 35 megawatts/140 megawatt-hours of lithium-ion battery storage capacity to the electric grid. The storage portion of the contract plans to be operational by June 2025, with the solar portion in place by October 2025.

The CEC approved a state load shift goal of 7,000 MW by 2030, which is double current levels of demand flexibility and could power up to 7 million homes by the end of the decade without new power plants.

California’s 7 GW load shift goal is ‘starting gun’ for dramatic expansion in flexible demand

The California Energy Commission last week approved a state load shift goal of 7,000 MW by 2030, which is double current levels of demand flexibility and could power up to 7 million homes by the end of the decade without new power plants, according to the agency.

The goal, which comes from a requirement in state Senate Bill 846, passed last year, includes a series of measures including demand response programs and time-of-use rates that incentivize the use of electricity when it makes the most sense for customers and the grid.

The goal is “essentially the counterpart to the renewable portfolio standard,” said Cisco DeVries, CEO of OhmConnect. The RPS was “a giant starting gun for utility-scale renewable power… we’ll look back on this as a starting gun for dramatic expansion of flexible demand across the state,” he added.
