Sunshot Initiative

From the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy:

#TBT to three years ago, when a wave of utility-scale#solar projects came online in the #US, including the Alamosa Solar Generating Project in southern#Colorado (pictured). Our #SunShot Initiative is working to make it easier for utilities to bring solar #energy to their customers. According to Solar Energy Industries Association, utility-scale projects in 2012 represented 1.7 gigawatts of solar capacity in the United States. At the beginning of 2015, utility-scale projects had expanded to more than 14 gigawatts nationwide – and there are another 14 gigawatts of projects currently under contract.
