EGEB: Trump administration to expand drilling on largest US public land plot
In this mention
This Electrek Green Energy Brief covers three topics: the Trump administration's proposal to expand oil and gas drilling to 82% of Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, a report showing the Trump administration has approved half as many wind and solar projects on federal land as the Obama administration, and highlights from SACE's third annual Solar in the Southeast report projecting solar capacity to exceed 20,000 MW in 2022 and reach nearly 25,000 MW by 2023.
Our forecast period now extends to 2023, reflecting a doubling of the 2019 capacity for 2022 (i.e., exceeding 20,000 MW) and then nearly 25,000 MW for 2023. We expect that to be the first year the region exceeds 10% of its capacity (and 5% of generation) from solar.
