Here is something that Donald Trump will love President Obama for! The President announced a pledge to get 50% of North America’s power from renewable energy by 2025 in collaboration with Canada and Mexico. Currently, the system is at 37% which means that quite a bit of wind and solar needs to be added to the grid in the next 9 years. Canada is already ahead with its expansive hydro and Mexico needs to get moving which should be a positive outlook for the solar market we have all been waiting for. (Anyone have Mexico PPAs?)
