Abstract

This project assesses the market for off-site PV in the Southeast, based on projected corporate load, corporate renewable goals for load in the Southeast, solar economics relative to utility rates, presence of a viable PV purchasing method, and other factors. This project gathered data directly and indirectly from corporations, high education institutions, and cities and counties with renewable energy targets. The result is a guide for utilities, state policymakers, and corporates trying to meet their corporate RE targets in the Southeast.

Corporate Renewable Energy Procurement Pathways in the Southeast: South Carolina

Program Document

This state fact sheet highlights information presented in the NREL report, Existing and Potential Corporate Off-site Renewable Procurement in the Southeast. Many corporations, higher education institutions, and municipalities use off-site renewable energy purchasing to meet ambitious renewable energy goals. Limited off-site renewable projects in the Southeast United States may not be a function of limited corporate interest, but rather may reflect regulatory and market barriers. This report summarizes the status of off-site renewable procurement in South Carolina, highlighting potential for market expansion.

Voluntary Renewable Energy Procurement Programs in Regulated Utility Markets

Technical Report Hardison, James; Heeter, Jenny; Koebrich, Samuel; ...

Multinational corporations are increasingly purchasing renewable energy (RE) to fulfill international commitments, reduce supply chain emissions, limit environmental impact, and secure stable and affordable electricity. The potential scale of global corporate RE purchasing has been estimated to be nearly 100 GW and growing; however, many markets still lack supportive enabling environments for corporations to access RE through on-site project development or private sector transactions. Even where allowed by law, on-site generation may be insufficient due to space and technical constraints, introducing additional challenges.

Exploring Renewable Energy Opportunities in Select Southeast Asian Countries: A Geospatial Analysis of the Levelized Cost of Energy of Utility-Scale Wind and Solar Photovoltaics

Technical Report Lee, Nathan; Flores-Espino, Francisco; Cardoso de Oliveira, Ricardo; ...

The costs of renewable energy-based electricity generation have fallen precipitously in recent years to levels that are increasingly competitive with traditional generation such as fossil fuel-based generation. As these costs become increasingly competitive, private developers, policymakers, and energy system planners are searching for opportunities to harness high-quality renewable energy resources. Developing economies are setting ambitious targets and exploring how cost-effective, grid-connected renewable energy options can help power economic growth and meet growing electricity demands. This includes the member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that are determined to reach a target of 23% of renewable energy inmore »« less
