Encore Renewable Energy

The strength of the solar industry relies heavily on the strength of the state-level policy that supports it. As we prepare for legislative sessions in the new year, learn about the key issues on our radar when it comes to clean energy state policy in 2025: https://lnkd.in/gJM7eUJZ

What we mean when we say we're delivering energy's second act: - adding value and cost savings for communities - generating reliable, local energy - stewarding land through brownfields remediation, wildlife habitat and agrivoltaics Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dDdxHz9 (Pictured: a former landfill living out its encore as a renewable energy asset)

With 500MW of solar and energy storage assets in our pipeline over the next 5 years, an exceptional development team is a must. That's why we're thrilled to announce that Jackie Basile has joined us as our new VP, Head of Development. Jackie brings nearly two decades of experience in environmental science, permitting, and solar development. Help us offer her a warm welcome to the team! To learn more: https://lnkd.in/g3Sq6S_b

Today is #GivingTuesday! We support employees giving back to their communities throughout the year through offering paid volunteer days and matched donations; today reminds us that there's still plenty of time this year to make an impact. If you want your donation to go farther today, consider multiplying it with Giving Multiplier, who make donations go farther by extending support to some of the most effective charities around.

"During the first nine months of 2024, utility-scale solar power generation (thermal and PV) output increased a whopping 30.1% from the same period in 2023." #solar is unstoppable. Cost effective, clean, and growing fast, we're proud to deliver energy's second act. Read more:

This Thanksgiving week, we're grateful for the amazing team members who power our work here at Encore. Our team is our greatest asset, and we're lucky to have more than doubled the size of our team over the last few years. We hope each one of them enjoys some well-deserved rest this week!

The data is in -- pollinator-friendly #solar increases biodiversity and regenerates overworked soils. "Once prairie vegetation was established, pollinators were observed using the site as much as dedicated conservation land, with evidence pointing towards increased abundance and diversity of both vegetation and pollinators under the solar panels."

America’s electricity demand is growing again and U.S. businesses are turning to solar.    According to SEIA’s 2024 #SolarMeansBiz report, American companies have installed nearly 40 GW of onsite and off-site #solar.    Why? Because it’s good for their bottom line.    The flexibility and dispatchability of #solar + #storage make it ideal for a wide range of commercial applications and, at the end of the day, solar is the most cost-effective way to produce energy in human history.    SEIA President and CEO Abby Hopper writes:    “Some of the largest industrial and data operations in the world continue turning to solar and storage as a reliable, low-cost way to power their operations. These industry giants are investing in solar through a diverse range of applications, including onsite and off-site installations, on carports, paired with storage, or even as an anchor tenant for a community solar project.”    Check out the Solar Energy Industries Association's 2024 #SolarMeansBiz report for more on why U.S. businesses investing in solar at record levels:  https://lnkd.in/esP8f3Ym
