Americus Energy

Great experience taking Americus Energy & US Solar Supplier to Indianapolis and D.C. for the inaugurations with A10 Associates! The energy sector is at a crossroads, with challenges driving innovation. Key takeaways: - Solar tax credits remain intact for now despite uncertainty. - Domestic energy focus prioritizes oil, gas, and coal but opens doors for renewables to step up. - Data centers will drive soaring energy demand—solar and storage are critical. - Trade policies may increase tariffs but could boost domestic solar manufacturing. Honored to celebrate Indiana Gov. Mike Braun and connect with leaders like Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Andre Carson, who reaffirm that energy is a bipartisan necessity. #EnergyFuture #InnovationLeadership #Solar

A December report from SEIA and Wood Mackenzie says that U.S. solar module factories are now equipped to meet nearly all domestic demand. Will the new supply chain be ready to balance against incoming tariffs? https://lnkd.in/dt5nPbak

The shift towards solar energy is also contributing to the diversification of the U.S. energy mix. By 2025, renewable energy's overall share of electricity generation is expected to rise to 26%, while natural gas is projected to drop from 42% in 2023 to 41% in 2025. Source: Utility Dive

As we close up the week and look forward to an upcoming administration transition, I’d like to share some of the insight we’ve learned from our trusted allies and sources involved in the transition. ?? Some things we've learned: ? 1.?Continued Support for Solar: We have strong Republican allies in the solar industry who are actively?advocating for solar initiatives and domestic content tax credits.? 2. Domestic Content Bonus: This bonus is expected to stay in some form due to its importance in U.S. job creation, manufacturing, and grid resilience.? 3. REAP Program Stability: The REAP program is considered safe due to its role in supporting small businesses and rural communities.? 4. Trade Law Changes: We could see more immediate changes in trade policies, including 60% added import duties on Chinese products. ? In the coming days and weeks, as we learn more, we look forward to being at the forefront of new policy, navigating these changes, and achieving a bright future together. ?

Is solar panel recycling illusion or a reality that can make an industry built on sustainability....more sustainable? On the heels of @trinasolar announcing the first fully recyclable 645W PV module last month - many are still bemoaning the high costs and effort behind staying circular in operations. If you're SOLARCYCLE -- solar recycling company, you skipped the middle man and put it right into action. They've installed an on-site solar farm made of reused solar panels that will power their industrial solar panel recycling facility. The reused panels come from decommissioned utility-scale solar farms and residential installations across the United States. SOLARCYCLE says the project serves as a model of how to power an industrial facility through renewable energy as the US ramps up domestic manufacturing capacity. It will also help to build a fully closed loop, ultra-low carbon solar industry in America. The 500KW system made from around 1,000 reused panels will provide around 50% of the electricity SOLARCYCLE uses to power their advanced recycling factory in Odessa, Texas.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a significant investment of $40 million to bolster the U.S. solar supply chain. This injection of funds will support our industry through domestic manufacturing and keeping us in the innovation race. Local production capabilities means energy independence for the US and a more stable supply chain. Read on in the link below: https://lnkd.in/gPRmxPgx

Good news for our least favorite bottleneck for solar projects across the US. The White House is taking action to speed up federal solar permitting. https://lnkd.in/gwyKGrK8.

The Biden-Harris Administration has announced $140 million for clean energy projects in rural Nevada and Kentucky via the USDA's Powering Affordable Clean Energy (PACE) program, funded by the ever-familiar Inflation Reduction Act. This is where Americus Energy sees the future of American Made energy being implemented. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/guAunnNy

Have you come by the Jeffersontown @gaslightfestival this weekend? Americus Energy is proudly partnered with the @JeffersontownChamber to power the booths with clean, reliable solar energy! Look for our team in the crowd - we'd love to connect and chat! Looking forward to supporting and connecting with our Kentucky communities! #Jeffersontown #gaslightfestival #americusenergy www.americusenergy.com
