energy projects
Grid development efforts
Energy projects are undertakings to develop, build, or maintain systems that generate, store, or distribute power.
The term encompasses everything from massive infrastructure like nuclear plants and offshore wind farms to local solar installations and battery storage facilities.
The county approved three new energy projects last year.
In policy discussions, energy projects often involve debates over environmental impact, funding, and grid capacity.
