Canary Media | Ohio blocks big solar farm, despite apparently fake public comments by Kathiann M. Kowalski
Ohio regulators have blocked yet another major solar project because of local pushback, even though a significant number of public comments opposing the array appear to be fabricated. It’s the latest blow to solar in a state that defers to local governments on renewable energy, but not on fossil fuels. The Ohio…

Could solar panels help strengthen global food security?

This #SolarFarm in #Alaska Provides Something Extra: Free #Food
This test case in Houston, Alaska, for combining food and #solar farms, a practice called #agrivoltaics, was designed as a model for other communities seeking energy and food security. Europe, which has ambitious climate goals and limited land, has been exploring high-latitude agrivoltaics in recent decades, but this is the first American project on an industrial-scale solar array.

Does ORES even exist? No one has been able to prove otherwise to me.

#Ireland - Orsted wins contract for #SolarFarm which could power 'every second home in #Wexford'
Development one of 18 approved at Government's renewable energy support scheme (RESS5) auction
Wed, 24 Sep, 2025 - 17:22
Martin Claffey"A contract secured by Orsted for a new solar development has the potential to generate power for every second home in Wexford.
"Orsted has secured a contract to operate its biggest Irish solar development to date with approval for a project in Lodgewood in Co Wexford.
"The Lodgewood contract was awarded to Orsted as part of the Government’s fifth onshore renewable energy support scheme (RESS5) auction. The RESS is an auction-based scheme which invites energy projects to compete for contracts to provide electricity at a guaranteed price for up to 16 and a half years. Project approved under #RESS5 must be operational by December 31, 2030.
"A total of 18 #solar projects and five onshore #wind projects were cleared in the auction. Lodgewood is Orsted's third solar project in three consecutive years to be awarded a government contract. It is envisaged the development will be operational in 2028." 'At 109MW, Lodgewood marks our biggest solar development in Ireland to date with capacity to generate enough renewable power for over 34,000 homes, equal to every second home in County Wexford,' said Orsted vice president of onshore for Ireland and UK, TJ Hunter.
" 'In addition to Lodgewood, we currently have two solar farms under construction, and a strong near-term pipeline of solar at over 800MW. If we are to ultimately achieve a secure energy supply for Ireland, solar energy is a fundamental piece of the jigsaw. We will continue to look at opportunities for solar projects in Ireland to help the government achieve its 2030 target of 8GW of solar energy.'
"Orsted already has solar projects under construction in Garreenleen in Carlow and Ballinrea, between Douglas and Carrigaline in Co Cork. The Ballinrea 55MW development will produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of 16,000 homes. Both are expected to be fully operational by 2026.
"Orsted's Irish operations are based in Cork city. The Danish-headquartered firm has invested around €800m in Ireland."

This $900 million #solarfarm in #Texas is going 100% to #datacenters
Once it’s up and running, every bit of #ClearFork’s #electricity will go to #MetaPlatforms under a long-term contract. #Meta will use the #solar power to help run its energy-hungry data centers entirely on #cleanenergy.

#Protesters warn #JDVance ‘#resistance will be waiting’ as he prepares for #Cotswolds family holiday
The #StopTrumpCoalition says US vice president JD Vance is ‘every bit as unwelcome’ in the #UK as #DonaldTrump
Tom Watling
Monday 21 July 2025"US vice president JD Vance will find he is “every bit as unwelcome” in the UK as Donald Trump, protests have warned, as they announced plans to demonstrate against his visit.
"Vance is expected to visit the Cotswolds in South West England next month with his wife and three young children.
"The visit will come shortly after Donald Trump completes a five-day tour of some of his golf courses in Scotland.
"Trump is due to arrive on Friday, after which he will meet with Sir #KeirStarmer in Aberdeen. He will then visit #TrumpTurnberry golf club on the west coast of #Scotland before opening a new course on his #MenieEstate in #Aberdeenshire, on the north-east coast.
"They have since added that Vance will also find 'resistance waiting' when he arrives in England a week later."

As Trump’s administration slashes federal spending deemed wasteful, the EPA cancelled $1.5 million in funding for a project to build out a solar energy farm, create a resilience hub and plant trees in Houston’s long-polluted Fifth Ward.

We don't often see #art or #illustration of #solarpunk #infrastructure - and it's not an easy thing to convey.
Scandinavian101 decided to explore some #solarFarm #desert panoramas, building something close to #simonStalenhag 's juxtaposition of huge and personal, mundane and special.

Good news for solar farms. Even better news for letting the grasses and wildflowers grow, and for having hedges and such on the boundaries - solar farm or not.

Shade. There is lots of land too baked by sun. A third(?) covered by overhead solar could create new crop areas. Local environments moderated by shade that provides clean useful energy.
Let's do this, massively.

#Ørsted's largest #solarfarm in the world is now online in #Texas
This massive 468MW #solar farm is set to power 80,000 homes and businesses.
Launch of #MockingbirdSolar isn’t just about clean energy – it’s also about restoring precious ecosystems. Ørsted has donated 953 acres of the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, which sits next to the solar center, to The Nature Conservancy. The donated land is now Smiley Meadow Preserve, protected area for tallgrass prairie.

On the way to the beginning of Saturday's ride, before setting off for Stadskanaal, I stopped for a few minutes to talk to @jhembrow at the XR protest in Assen.
On the way home again after visiting the steam engines I stopped at the opening event for a new Solar farm south of Assen.
