Prioritizing Equity in Program Development: How to Build a Resilient Power Technical Assistance Fund
Over the past 10 years, CEG’s Technical Assistance Fund has supported over 175 communities in their quest for resilient power. In this webinar, CEG staff will discuss how to establish an effective and equitable technical assistance program.
Speakers from Strategen and CESA will discuss a new analysis which shows that battery storage can cost effectively replace aging fossil-fueled peaker power plants in New England.
The LA100 Equity Strategies project provides community-guided, data-driven strategies for increasing equity in LA’s transition to 100% clean energy. Most of the findings and methodologies are relevant to states with similar goals.
This webinar will feature the Solar Village Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing solar+storage to schools, clinics and homes in rural India and Puerto Rico, helping with health, education, and home life as well as climate change.
Energy storage projects face unique operational attributes that are often not well accounted for in current interconnection processes, and this can lead to storage projects facing undue burdens that may ultimately cause them to become uneconomical. In this webinar, policy experts will examine the problem and discuss new initiatives designed to address interconnection challenges.
CESA’s 2024 Members Meeting will take place on June 3-4 in Chicago, Illinois. This annual event is filled with learning, networking, and information-sharing activities.

This webinar will feature presentations on two important recent reports that highlight solar trends.
This webinar, presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA)’s Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP), features a discussion on the innovative solar + energy storage microgrid project in Rutland, Vermont. Panelists include Dr. Imre Gyuk, U.S. DOE Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability; Darren Springer, Vermont Public Service Department; and Mary Powell and Josh Castonguay from Green Mountain Power.
This webinar is one in a series produced by the Northeast Electrochemical Energy Storage Cluster (NEESC) designed to increase knowledge of fuel cell technologies and applications, identify best practices, and provide information and technical assistance. CESA’s Val Stori will be a guest presenter at this webinar.
Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project hosted authors of the Rocky Mountain Institute’s recent report, “The Economics of Grid Defection,” which looks at areas of the U.S. where solar with battery storage is either currently or imminently at cost parity with grid-purchased electricity, and analyzes the likely impacts on utilities and customers. Panelists include Leia Guccione, Bodhi Rader and James Mandel of the Rocky Mountain Institute.
This webinar will explore the EPA’s proposed rule to regulate carbon dioxide under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, which potentially impacts states’ renewable energy programs and policies, including renewable portfolio standards (RPSs).
CESA’s Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP) is hosting a two-part webinar series on flow batteries.
This webinar examines a new report by Clean Energy Group and the Council of Development Finance Agencies, which examines Qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as a mechanism for communities with 501(c)(3) organizations seeking to undertake significant clean energy projects.
The Minnesota Department of Commerce Division of Energy Resources is hosting an upcoming webinar on the distributed wind market. CESA’s Project Director Val Stori will give a presentation on best practices in turbine selection and marketing. Other presenters will discuss market developments and the USDA grant application process.
CESA’s Energy Storage Technology Advancement Project (ESTAP) is hosting an upcoming webinar on the process of commissioning an energy storage system. Dan Borneo of Sandia National Laboratories and Matt Galland of Sunpower will be presenting.
CESA will offer a webinar focused on programs and projects in Massachusetts and Oregon that convert food waste to energy.
