This CESA case study profiles Puerto Rico’s first VPP program. The study explores how customer-centered program design and collaborative efforts between the utility, program aggregators, and end users helped bring LUMA Energy’s Customer Battery Energy Sharing (CBES) program to life and scale it into a model for clean, resilient power.
This CESA report aims to help state officials, as well as other stakeholders, understand how policymakers can respond to electric load growth in ways that continue to advance decarbonization of the electricity system.
This paper provides information and guidance on plug-in solar configurations, regulatory issues, economics, and safety concerns.
Broadening access remains critical to achieve affordability, reliability, and decarbonization goals with solar and solar+storage. A group of nonprofit and Tribal Solar for All grantees produced a summary of the funding, policy, and communication strategies that potential funders and allies seeking to continue this work can prioritize. Among others, strategies include supporting virtual power plant…
This report, coauthored by Equnival Partners and informed by a CESA-led working group of state agencies and community-based organizations, offers concrete steps that state agencies can take to meaningfully engage with communities as states plan for offshore wind projects. These recommendations provide a roadmap for communities to shape how they benefit from investments in offshore wind power.
This report surveys the causes of electricity load growth and outlines what the states are doing to meet the challenge.
This report compiles research on best practices for designing solar programs that provide meaningful benefits to low-and-moderate income households. The report examines different types of solar projects, including residential-serving community solar, rooftop solar, and installations serving multifamily affordable housing. It includes six case studies and information about savings verification.
This issue brief, released by Clean Energy Group and CESA, outlines best practices and lessons learned for state policymakers and regulators engaged in developing energy storage peak demand reduction programs. The brief explores key elements of program design, such as incentive mechanisms and dispatch methods, as well as considerations for incentivizing load reduction versus power export, and peak demand reduction versus emission reduction.
This report from CESA and Sandia National Labs compiles the results of independent research, providing a summary of emerging affordability and accessibility approaches in leading state energy storage programs. It is intended as a reference material that can be used in state energy storage policymaking across diverse geographical and regulatory jurisdictions.
This paper presents recommendations to help state energy agencies design and implement equitable stakeholder engagement strategies for their solar programs.
