# How Large-Scale Solar Projects Are Shaping the Future of Renewable Energy
The demand for renewable energy solutions continues to grow, and large-scale solar projects are playing a major role in shaping the future of energy in the United States. In particular, community choice aggregators (CCAs) are making it easier for communities to transition to cleaner energy sources while maintaining control over their electricity supply.
Recent large-scale solar and energy storage projects are proof that solar continues to be a driving force in the push for sustainability. Two massive projects recently achieved commercial operations, adding 600 MW of solar and 390 MW of storage capacity. These projects will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 270,000 homes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 880 million pounds annually.
## Why Large-Scale Solar Projects Matter
Solar energy is an increasingly popular choice for both homes and businesses, but large solar farms have the potential to significantly impact the grid in ways that smaller installations simply cannot. These projects provide reliable electricity to communities that might otherwise rely on fossil fuels, especially during peak demand times.
Energy storage is becoming an essential part of these large-scale solar investments. When solar companies pair battery storage with solar energy generation, they ensure that excess energy
