On February 27, 2024, OCED announced $366 million in ERA awards to 17 community-driven projects across 20 states and 30 tribal nations to help rural communities accelerate their clean energy transition by deploying solar-power microgrids, hydropower, and batteries.
From Thompson's solar farms and dairy digesters to Moloka'i's microgrids and Imperial Valley's large-scale solar and lithium projects, rural areas are proving essential in building a resilient, inclusive clean energy future.
This article delves into some of the most exciting innovations in the sector, from smart grids and energy storage solutions to advancements in renewable energy technologies.
Pumped Hydro Storage Pumps: Integral to energy storage systems, these pumps transfer water between reservoirs to balance supply and demand in the grid. The role of each pump type varies depending on the renewable energy source and system design.
The tracker further provides national totals for distributed solar capacities for 31 countries/areas. For more information about inclusion criteria, please see our Methodology page.
Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive.
