Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) launched their innovative Energy StorageShares program in 2019. This program was the first virtual energy storage program in the US and allows commercial customers to invest in an off-site battery energy storage system and benefit from demand reduction cost savings without having to invest in a battery system at their…
This webinar highlights a new CESA report focusing on load growth and highlights the ways that states are preparing for an influx of energy demand in the coming years.
Recent
The Solar with Justice 2023 National Workshop will foster connections between state agencies and community organizations as well as provide opportunities for both groups to share opportunities and barriers to solar development in under-resourced communities.
Join us to hear from a panel of experts on how the US is advancing domestic lithium production and the expected impacts this will have on lithium-ion battery market trends.
In this CESA webinar, speakers from Efficiency Maine will review the program incentives, eligibility and application process. They will also discuss a new rate available in Central Maine Power service territory that when combined with a battery system can reduce a commercial facility’s demand costs without changes to operations.
Presenters will discuss how to plan ahead for battery decommissioning, explain the state of the battery recycling industry, and address possibilities for reuse of partly-expended EV batteries in stationary storage applications.
NYSERDA’s Affordable Solar and Storage Predevelopment and Technical Assistance program in New York State is successfully addressing the predevelopment challenge for solar and storage projects for low- and moderate-income residents.
This webinar will showcase innovative approaches funders are taking to bring equitable solar to low- and moderate-income households.
A new solar array in Minnesota will benefit local income-eligible households, including manufactured (mobile) homes residents, who heat with electric heat. Panelists will provide an in-depth overview and current status of the project.
The Inflation Reduction Act will dramatically accelerate renewable energy development, and the transmission grid will need substantial upgrades to accommodate the shifting generation portfolio. “Grid Enhancing Technologies,” as they were named by FERC, can unlock flexibility and additional capacity on the existing transmission infrastructure, enabling twice as much renewable generation in some regions.
A new study by the Brattle Group explores the cost and ability to serve critical resource adequacy needs from an emerging resource: virtual power plants (VPPs). In this webinar, panelists will discuss the findings of the report and share how VPPs can reduce reliance on high polluting power plants during peak energy use hours.
Ecolibrium3 Founder and CEO Jodi Slick will provide an overview of a community solar array and Resilience Hub in Duluth, Minnesota. This project provides a useful model for community-based organizations and state energy agencies interested in developing their own equity-focused energy and resilience projects.
