How Site Intelligence is Unlocking BTM Solar-Data Center Partnerships
While utility-scale solar developers face mounting interconnection delays and complex federal tax incentive timelines, data centers are experiencing unprecedented energy demands. This convergence has created a unique opportunity: direct, behind-the-meter (BTM) energy partnerships that bypass traditional utility bottlenecks entirely. The fundamentals make perfect sense. Data centers require massive amounts of reliable, clean power to operate their facilities. Solar developer

The Impact of the Big Beautiful Bill on Renewable Energy
The Big Beautiful Bill is not a death sentence for solar. Instead, it’s a reshuffling of the (a) Renewable Energy, (b) US electrical infrastructure, and (c) Commercial Real Estate landscapes. States with (1) robust solar resource potential (site quality & availability, and supporting regulations) as well as (2) strong local incentives will rise to the top. States that relied on the ITC or PTC to close financial gaps will find themselves out of favor.
