Lunenburg supervisors approve two land-use permits and authorize steps to explore airport solar lease The Lunenburg County Board on July 10 approved two conditional use permits — for an online auto-sales operation and a soil-borrow area — and unanimously authorized initial steps to consider leasing 20–25 acres of jointly-owned airport land for a potential community solar project, subject to further study and public input.

Lunenburg County is taking a bold step towards sustainability by exploring a community solar project on airport land while also approving new permits for local businesses!

Wide debate as bill would let PSC require utilities to build clean generation to shore up supply HB 15-61 would allow the PSC to require regulated utilities to develop and own short-lead-time clean resources (community solar, battery storage) where the market fails to deliver capacity; sponsors, utilities and unions supported the backstop, while competitive developers and consumer advocates opposed the shift of construction risk to ratepayers.

A bold new bill in Maryland could empower utilities to build clean energy resources when the market falls short, but not everyone agrees on the potential costs to consumers.

Senate committee hears bill to clarify community solar interconnection rules Senate Environment, Energy and Transportation Committee reviewed SB 210, a bipartisan stakeholder-backed bill to allow community solar projects to qualify based on the point of interconnection within a utility's service area. Supporters said the change would free roughly 8 10 projects and about 31 MW stalled by a parcel-wide interpretation and help preserve federal tax credits.

Delaware's Senate is poised to unlock the potential of community solar projects, paving the way for 31 megawatts of clean energy just in time to secure vital federal tax credits!
