Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB), one of India s top FMCG companies, has ramped up its renewable & clean energy capacity to meet 50% of its energy requirements through these sources. The feat has enabled the company to offset 46,500 tonnes of carbon emission per annum with solar and wind energy and 30,000 tonnes of carbon emission per annum using bio-mass fuel in its boilers. The consolidated impact of using 50% renewable & clean energy by HCCB on the climate is thus equivalent to a reduction in global warming achieved by 3,5000,000 trees per year. The milestone is in sync with the company’s plan to reduce its carbon emissions 25% by 2030 from a 2015 base year (science-based target).

BATESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Albemarle County is taking its first steps toward a new energy source.
A permit to build an 8-Megawatt facility for solar energy, with a 4-Megawatt battery energy storage system, has been submitted to the county by Sun Tribe Solar. It’s the beginning of a long process, but the organization says it would bring a new source of energy to the western part of the county.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Dominion Energy has discussed establishing new solar choice metering tariffs in the state.
Dominion says the goal of the metering program is to ensure that no one group is forced to unfairly subsidize the cost of choices made by another segment of their customer base.
The utility company says the approximately 11,000 Dominion Energy customers in South Carolina who use solar on their property also export a lot of it back to the grid. However they also says this means about 740,000 non-solar customers have to pay for maintaining power lines, generation stations and all other associated costs – while also paying for the more cost-efficient energy their utility is producing.

Investor and asset manager NTR has acquired a 54MW portfolio of co-located solar and storage projects in Co. Wexford, Ireland from RES.
It is made up of two battery storage projects with a combined capacity of 25MW along with 29MW of solar PV. The solar projects were awarded 16-year Contracts for Difference (CfD) tariffs within Ireland’s first Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS) auction in August 2020.
Co-located solar and battery storage projects can bring some “much-needed diversity of renewables technology onto the Irish grid,” said Manus O‘Donnell, chief investment officer at NTR, adding that combining the technology was particularly effective given the ability to share a grid connection and economies of scale.
