Historically, it has been challenging for solar and wind developers to find an appropriate parcel of land, conduct an accurate valuation, and then make contact with the landowner. But now there is a marketplace for land resources where developers can go to find parcels that meet their buy criteria and…
When a grid gets congested, the excess energy generated at renewable plants is wasted. But what if there was something we could do to mitigate that curtailment and monetize our excess wind, solar or hydroelectric power? John Belizaire is Founder and CEO at Soluna Computing, the leading developer of green…
