By Mike Schutz, director of renewables & power delivery Standalone battery storage was something many developers kept on the back burner. They weren’t ignored but, in many portfolios, battery energy storage systems (BESS) were something tied into larger solar or wind developments. That is changing, and quickly, after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1) […]

By Mike Schutz, director of renewables & power delivery Renewable developers are facing a hard truth following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB): federal policy is now putting a hard stop on the momentum built under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The window is now narrow for projects to receive tax […]

Wetlands play an important role in protecting biodiversity and managing stormwater.
