America marked its 250th birthday during a significant heatwave, driving up electricity demand and causing nearly 400,000 outages in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. During peak hours, wind and solar generation increased compared to previous days, providing crucial power.

Regions with higher renewable energy levels saw much lower wholesale prices compared to areas waiting on clean generation interconnections.

As extreme weather intensifies, this analysis shows that expanding clean energy enhances both grid reliability and affordability. Fast-tracking these projects can cut consumer costs while reducing dependence on expensive resources when electricity is critical.

ACP’s new analysis shows that 74 GW of shovel-ready clean power projects could have saved consumers more than $170 million while strengthening reliability.

Buckheart Solar recently had the privilege of making a donation to Lewistown VFW Post 5001. During the visit, Samantha Magee, Local Representative for Buckheart Solar, met with Post members, presented the donation, and learned more about the valuable programs and services they provide for veterans and their families. We are thankful for the men and women of VFW Post 5001 and their ongoing commitment to supporting veterans, promoting patriotism, and making a positive difference throughout the community.

Solar projects are a fantastic way to use land with minimal impact.

Once they're up and running, they’re super quiet at the borders, creating no smells or pollution, and don't leave lasting marks on the land. 🌱

Plus, these sites can easily be transformed back into their original state after serving as solar fields!

Solar energy’s farmland use is minimal. 🌱

Key Findings:
- Solar uses just 0.04% of U.S. land and 0.07% of farmland.
- Zero states exceed 0.5% prime farmland for solar.
- Golf courses occupy nearly 3x, suburban development about 6x more prime farmland than solar.

Why It Matters: Communities depend on land to grow food, build communities, and power our lives. Responsible land use means balancing all of those needs.

What type of jobs will Buckheart Solar provide?

The construction process consists of a variety of different stages – site preparations (ie. Civil work), pre-planting (generally native and pollinator-friendly plant species), and installing solar components (ie. Underground cabling, pilings, racking systems, inverters, substation, and fencing). These stages require a variety of different roles, such as site managers, project managers, engineers, heavy machine operators, general laborers, electricians, and more.
