Clean Energy Group’s new Resilient Power Project is helping states figure out how to provide resilient power to critical infrastructure, so that needed services can be provided during a natural disaster that knocks out portions of the electric grid.
Last week’s offshore wind conference hosted by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) brought together over 800 attendees, including industry leaders, policy makers, investors, consulting firms, manufacturers, environmental organizations, and other wind energy enthusiasts.
There are those who say that the U.S. needs to focus more on innovation to create new clean energy technologies, rather than relying entirely on existing technologies like solar PV and land-based wind.
The nuclear power crisis in Japan may open up new opportunities for offshore wind innovation, based on recent developments following the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown in March 2011.
CESA invites you to learn more about the NREL STAT program and how to apply for assistance for state and municipal solar programs.
With renewable energy costs falling and deployment rising, and resilient power a hot topic post-Sandy, it makes sense that a wonky, non-sexy technology like energy storage has stepped out of the shadows to take center stage.
This will be the second of two webinars drawing on material from America’s Power Plan, a series of eight white papers that will be released this month by the Energy Foundation in partnership with Energy Innovation. America’s Power Plan is a policy roadmap for dealing with disruptive challenges in the power sector and getting to a high-renewables future.
This webinar, presented by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) for the State-Federal RPS Collaborative, is the first in a two-part series featuring authors from America’s Power Plan, an October 2013 toolkit for state and local decision makers developed by more than 150 of the nation’s top energy experts.
There are a lot of great things Europe has that the U.S. doesn’t—comfortable taxis, good table wine, Idris Elba—and then there’s offshore wind, lots and lots of offshore wind.
Val Stori from the Clean Energy States Alliance, and Brent Summerville from the Small Wind Certification Council for an update on small wind standards and policy. During the September presentation, Orrell will provide an introduction to and brief demonstration of the Distributed Wind Policy Comparison Tool. Val Stori will provide an overview of the Interstate Turbine Advisory Council, and Brent Summerville will discuss the Small Wind Certification Council and the role of standards in the small wind industry.
