This paper aims to help state officials and other stakeholders understand what virtual power plants (VPPs) are and how they can be optimally designed.
This paper provides information and guidance on plug-in solar configurations, regulatory issues, economics, and safety concerns.
This short paper by CESA answers foundational questions about networked geothermal. It is intended to support early understanding and decision-making by CESA Members and other state officials.
This issue brief by CESA covers BVPP program design. The brief surveys and summarizes the characteristics of existing BVPPs, discusses design elements such as battery ownership and compensation mechanisms, and provides a high-level overview of the current state of BVPPs in the United States
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.
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.
