DOE Initiates Negotiations for 1 GW Solar Project with Hecate Energy on Former Nuclear Site in Washington.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is starting realty negotiations with US renewables developer Hecate Energy LLC for a solar project of up to 1 GW at a DOE-owned land in Washington State. The negotiations concern an 8,000-acre area at the Hanford Site, a large nuclear site that produced plutonium for US defense, including for atomic bombs in World War II.DOE is making the acreage available for a gigawatt-scale solar system with battery storage as part of the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative, which aims to repurpose parts of DOE-branded lands previously used in the US nuclear weapons programme. The selection of Hecates was based on a competitive qualifications-based process.
