Constructing statutory energy goal compliant wind and solar PV infrastructure pathways

Austin Thomas and Pavan Racherla

Renewable Energy, 2020, vol. 161, issue C, 1-19

Abstract: Concerns over climate change have led governments around the world to establish a range of renewable, low-carbon energy goals. Plans for meeting these targets vary widely in their ambition, specificity, and time horizons. Wind and solar electricity generation will feature prominently in future energy systems that meet these renewable, low-carbon energy goals. Implementing largescale wind and solar PV infrastructure configurations in a timely fashion will require cooperation between and among electric grid stakeholders and communities that host the infrastructure.
