Walt Musial , a principal engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory , stops by the show to discuss the current state of the US offshore wind market. Walt details progress in key regions like the Northeast, where gigawatt-scale projects are actively under construction. Walt addresses the ramifications of renegotiations of power purchase agreements and the mixed outcome of recent offshore wind lease auctions. On the technology front, Walt goes into great detail about the potential of floating wind technology, which offers flexible siting and cost benefits when compared to fixed-bottom turbines. Walt also outlines the key highlights of NREL's annual Offshore Wind Energy Market Assessment , which track information for 2,036 active offshore wind energy projects in 49 countries.

Wade Gungoll , CEO of Industrial Sun , and Christine Larson , the Head of Strategy and Operations at Modern Energy , stop by the show to discuss the role of renewables in heavy industries like chemical processing, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Petrochemical refineries might not be first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the facilities that powered by renewables, but it’s happening -- and Wade and Christine are here to tell us more about it. They highlight the unique approach of Industrial Sun, which focuses on industrial net-metered solar for heavy industries, offering significant cost savings and green attributes. They discuss the challenges and opportunities in the data center market and outline why Big Tech's race for computing power means renewables might actually have to wait to capture a larger share of the market. Christine predicts a rise in battery storage, while Wade predicts more than $100 billion in green hydrogen investment in ERCOT by 2030.

Sponsored by: EDF Renewables When it comes to the utility-scale and residential solar sectors in the US, Daniel Cruise , partner at Lium Research , says current trends tell a tale of two markets. While research from the team at Lium points to a booming utility-scale market that is enjoying record construction starts, the residential market is struggling in California and beyond. Other highlights from our conversation include: With sourcing of solar modules a hot topic in the news, Cruise notes that NextEra is switching to Indian suppliers for many of its large scale solar projects. Cruise predicts 40 gigawatts of new solar will be interconnected to the grid in 2024, with an additional 50 gigawatts to follow in 2025. Noting a decline in the fervor surrounding overall renewables markets in the last year or two, Cruise shares his insights on suspected causes ... and possible remedies.
