2、aryland, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia may look to introduce carbon-tax or cap-and-trade policies during 2020 in order to help meet their greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. Steps to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI, cap-and-trade program have been taken

3、 in Pennsylvania, as Gov. Tom Wolf ordered the states Department of Environmental Protection to draft a rulemaking that would enable the state to join the initiative. Currently, nine eastern states participate in RGGI, with New Jersey effectively becoming a participant starting Jan. 1, 2020. As many

Meanwhile, remediation of emissions from dirty coal-burning facilities, stemming from heightened environmental awareness, also drove major capital investment into new generation f

The spending cycle became a powerful vehicle not only for plant modernization, but also as the widespread capit

7、al spending served as a solid source of earnings growth throughout the utility sector. In a 2008 special study published by Regulatory Research Associates, a group within S&P Global Market Intelligence, total capex spending for the investor-owned utility group covered by RRA has been tallied at $36

8、billion. In the most recent update of the report, published in October, industry spending for energy utilities was expected to total $134 billion in 2019. Renewables spending up strong While renewables spending by the utility sector was only a small part less than 5% of total industry spending in 20

9、08, roughly a decade later renewables play a much more significant role in utility capital agendas. Spending on renewables is forecast to total about $14 billion across the RRA coverage universe over the three years 2019 to 2021, accounting for 11% of total industry spending.

16、a broader trend toward utility sector decarbonization. Featured Topic: Solar-plus decade kicks off with massive pipeline of battery hybrids By Garrett Hering, Reporter, Power and Utilities, S&P Global Market Intelligence In September, the U.S. solar power industry presented its vision for a radical

17、transformation of Americas energy landscape over the next decade one in which solar power provides 20% of the countrys electricity mix by 2030, up from less than 3% today. In 2020, solar companies plan to accelerate their efforts to implement that ambitious plan, which will ultimately require around

18、 500,000 MW of total installed solar photovoltaic, or PV, capacity by 2030, up from less than 70,000 MW today. To make that leap possible, the solar industrys road map relies largely on the marriage of solar PV with less proven, but highly promising, lithium-ion batteries and other energy storage te

We will fill up batteries with solar and make storage peakers, said Cliff Graham, senior vice president of U.S. development at EDF Renewables In

29、c., an affiliate of France-based EDF Group. EDF is developing several U.S. solar-plus-storage projects, including the Big Beau Solar+Storage Project in the Mojave Desert in California, a 128-MW solar farm with 60 MW of battery storage that is scheduled to enter service in 2021 under separate contrac

30、ts with Monterey Bay Community Power and Silicon Valley Clean Energy at prices not to exceed $40/MWh. That is in line with recently contracted battery-backed power purchase agreements in the United States, some of which have been priced in the low $30/MWh. Contract prices in 2020 will depend on nume

31、rous factors, according to Graham, including the size of the battery system and the price of batteries. Whether Congress extends the 30% federal investment tax credit, or ITC, for solar, which can also apply to battery systems that charge on solar, will also influence solar-plus-storage prices in th

32、e coming year. The incentive, at 30% of project cost in 2019, falls to 26% in 2020 and 22% in 2021 before settling permanently at 10% in 2022 for businesses while zeroing out for individual tax filers. Push for tax credit extension SEIA is calling for U.S. lawmakers to approve an extension of the in

33、centive by the end of this year, an effort that may spill over into 2020. Extending the 30% ITC would stimulate 82,000 MW of installed solar capacity, drive $87 billion in new private-sector investment and create 113,000 new American jobs, SEIA and consulting firm Wood Mackenzie said in a recent rep

34、ort. While the solar industry is confident that PV will remain among the most competitive power options in the United States, whether or not the 30% tax credit is extended, some are concerned that storage could become uneconomical without it. Storage is still expensive, Graham said. It works with th

35、e ITC. I am skeptical it will be able to compete without the tax credit. In any case, the solar industry is gearing up for its push to become a major part of the U.S. power mix in 2020 and beyond. I am very confident of the industrys ability to achieve our goal under any scenario, said Dan Shugar, C
