Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions recently made news by launching its 120-megawatt Jackpot Solar project in Twin Falls County, Idaho.
This venture, done by the part of Duke Energy that focuses on these projects, should be pretty impactful in Idaho.
Jackpot Solar will propel Idaho Power towards its Clean Today, Cleaner Tomorrow goal of providing 100% renewable energy by 2045. When the Jackpot Solar facility was at its peak of construction, it employed around two hundred workers. The extensive economic benefits that accompany solar project development range from increased local spending in service and construction industries to a positive impact on the Filer Consolidated School District due to considerable tax revenues.
Earlier this month, Duke announced the opening of a 207-megawatt Ledyard Windpower project in Kossuth County, Iowa. This is DESS’s first project in that state, too. Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions is making sure to keep up with the long-term maintenance and operations of 46 Vestas V150 4.5-MW turbines, which have enough capacity to power 75,000 American households, so we’re not talking about just a few little windmills.
Toyota North America has signed a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement that will provide up to 80 MW of solar energy to the project. The financial settlement of this agreement is tied directly to the real-time output produced by the project, meaning they’ll be able to monitor and adjust accordingly.

A Copper Mine Could Advance Green Energy but Scar Sacred LandSUPERIOR, Ariz. — As Wendsler Nosie finished his evening prayers sitting before a mesquite fire, a ceremonial yucca staff festooned with eagle feathers by his side, he gazed sternly toward a distant mesa where mining companies hope to extract more than 1 billion tons of copper. That mine could help address climate change by helping the United States replace fossil fuels and combustion engines with renewable energy and electric cars. But to Nosie, a former chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe,
