Electrek: A new energy facility in eastern Oregon will be the first of its kind in the U.S., combining wind power, solar power, and battery storage on a large-scale. Portland General Electric and NextEra Energy Resources announced plans for the Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facility today. The new facility will combine 300 megawatts of wind generation, […]
PV Magazine: Only one day after the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected that coal’s decline will slow, gas will dominate the future energy mix and that wind will peter out after the PTC ends, one of the nation’s largest and arguably its most successful power companies has a very different forecast […]
Utility Dive: The wind sector is just a couple of years from seeing the PTC start declining, leading to broad questions about whether rapid growth of the resource can continue. But NextEra officials see little reason for concern as technological advances mature alongside a diminishing tax credit. [Armando Pimentel, president and CEO of NextEra Energy […]
Utility Dive: NextEra Energy will close its 601 MW Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa in late 2020 after reaching an agreement with utility Alliant to end its power purchase agreement (PPA) with the plant five years early. Nuclear plants in the U.S. are under pressure from cheap natural gas and renewables, forcing many to […]

The Trump administration argues fuel […]
The Wall Street Journal ($): Who is the world’s largest operator of wind and solar farms? It’s also America’s most valuable power company. Still stumped? It’s by design. “That is a marketing problem…that we foster intentionally,” Michael O’Sullivan, NextEra Energy Inc.’s head of renewable development, told University of Notre Dame students in 2015. NextEra has […]
PV Magazine: While power sector holdouts such as FirstEnergy get headlines by pushing for disingenuous regulatory changes in a vain attempt to make the future look like the past, many U.S. power companies are seeing the light in the low and predictable costs of large-scale wind and solar. One of the leaders in this regard […]
S&P Global Market Intelligence ($): With incentives retained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act supporting the development of renewable energy, U.S. electric utilities and their competitive energy arms are moving ahead with certainty on planned solar investments to take advantage of the federal solar investment tax credit, or ITC, before it drops permanently to […]
