This webinar will explore the role of energy storage in state RPS, including facilitating the integration of an increasingly higher penetration of renewables and the interpretation of energy storage as a generation resource. We will review and highlight examples of state RPS that include energy storage while exploring the benefits of energy storage to an RPS portfolio and the challenges for integrating storage into new and existing RPS programs.
The small and mid-scale wind industry is in a unique place in its development: it’s past the stage of an emerging market, but not-yet-fully fledged. And as many states have been discovering, this phase of the industry is full of growing pains.
This webinar, presented by CEG/CESA’s Offshore Wind Accelerator Project (OWAP), examines some of the innovative approaches that could be used to advance financing early U.S. offshore wind projects. The webinar looks beyond the immediate challenges of extending the federal production and investment tax credits to explore additional approaches and tools to finance offshore wind projects of scale.
This document provides the context and describes some of the challenges that currently face the financing of large‐scale renewable energy deployments.
How can the world finance a massive scale up of clean energy technologies?
This report presents an evaluation methodology to highlight leading practice in the design and delivery of clean energy public finance mechanisms.
This webinar introduces the Interstate Turbine Advisory Council (ITAC), a collaboration between state wind incentive programs and related organizations to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing distributed wind programs: developing a list of reliable turbines to be eligible for incentives. ITAC was developed by CESA and several CESA member organizations.
On November 17th, several groups hosted an important conference on energy innovation in Washington, DC.
Another storm and millions lose power. It’s a familiar story, in this era of more severe and unusual weather events.
This webinar features a presentation by Dr. Stephen Wyatt, Head of Technology Acceleration at UK Carbon Trust, on the findings of Carbon Trust’s recent report, Accelerating Marine Energy. The report highlights the latest MHK pilot projects in the UK, provides updated, detailed cost of energy estimates for wave and tidal technologies and identifies the potential for costs reductions.
