American Electric Power Co. Inc. could shut down both units at its massive Rockport coal plant in Indiana before the end of 2028 after reaching a settlement agreement with numerous parties, including consumer and environmental advocates.
AEP reaches agreement to shut down Rockport 2 coal unit by end of 2028 September 15, 2021
AEP utility Indiana Michigan Power Co. and wholesale subsidiary AEP Generating Co. agreed to retire the second unit at the 2,600-MW Rockport coal plant in Spencer County, Ind., "no later than December 31, 2028" as part of the agreement reached with the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, the I&M Industrial Group, Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana Inc., the Sierra Club and municipalities.
The parties filed their settlement agreement Sept. 13 with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC cause 45546) and are seeking an order on or before Dec. 15. - More Flexibility to Best Serve Customers
The four new solar facilities mark an important next step in I&M’s continuing transition to a more diverse energy supply and meeting the need for new sources to energize homes and businesses as the coal-fueled units at our Rockport, Ind., generation plant phase out of service. The Rockport Plant will be fully retired by the end of 2028.
While I&M’s Cook Nuclear Plant in Michigan consistently generates energy 24/7 as the anchor of I&M’s generation, the variety of additional energy sources strengthen I&M’s resilience. I&M ANNOUNCES 4 NEW INDIANA SOLAR POWER PLANTS April 3, 2023

We will begin raising the water level upstream of the Elkhart Hydroelectric Plant starting 3/22. The reservoir was lowered two feet in 12/21 to reduce ice buildup and upstream flooding. The reservoir will slowly be raised about six inches per day over a three- to four-day period to its spring and summer operating level.

Agrivoltaic Farming
Purdue agrivoltaic farming structures and software harvest solar power at lower cost and with minimal impact on crop yield May 24, 2024 Purdue University.
Purdue University researchers in the colleges of Agriculture and Engineering have created agrivoltaic structures that optimize the amount of electricity generated by solar farms. The modules are mounted lower than traditional solar structures and rotate to form a near-vertical structure when farm equipment needs to pass

Posted by Rdwb Cameroon on Monday, January 29, 2024January 29, 2024 post by Rdwb Cameroon on Facebook: [ Cameroon is in Africa ]
Agrivoltaic farming is the practice of growing crops underneath solar panels. It enables dual or even triple land-use, through simultaneous use of land for both agriculture and #solarphotovoltaic power generation. Beets, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots are crops suitable for agrivoltaics.
Many formerly fertile agricultural areas located in mild climate zones suffer from progressive infertility due to rising #temperature or #waterscarcity. Other areas are exposed to extreme weather phenomena. Agrivoltaic projects could help with both, restoring fertile conditions to areas in progressive abandonment. Thereby contributing in solving #climatechange. There has been implementation of #agrivoltaics research projects in Germany, South Korea, France, the USA and Japan.
APV-MaGa is a research and development project focusing on and exploring the potential, the economic and technical feasibility of agrivoltaics in #SubSaharanAfrica - Mali and The Gambia and #eastafrica- Kenya.
There are no researches conducted in Cameroon yet but there is high potential for #agrivoltaics as electrification rates are often low and #foodsecurity needs to be improved.

Sheep may soon graze under solar panels in one of Wyoming’s first ‘agrivoltaic’ projects The elevated photovoltaic panels can actually improve grazing conditions, a novelty that could help make solar projects more land-efficient and accepted in the ranching-heavy state.
