The Super Bowl LVIII was powered entirely by a Nevada solar-plus-storage project, powered by bifacial panels from Canadian Solar and a BESS delivered by a “tier one energy storage system supplier”, according to EDF Renewables. The project uses a total of 6.2GW of capacity installed in Nevada, with the state expected to install another 7GW of new capacity over the next five years. The use of solar power to meet the energy demands of one of the US sports industry’s showpiece events could be a significant test of the growth of renewable power in the US. The SEIA also noted that US$10.9 billion has been invested into the state’s solar sector and that Nevada aims to meet half of its energy demand with renewables by 2030, up from 22% in 2020.

Solar Dominates US Energy Capacity Growth
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has published data showing that solar accounted for over 75% of US electrical generating
