For the past year or two, there have been many stories in the press about how utilities view distributed generation and storage as a threat, rather than an opportunity. Now, there is evidence that this is starting to change.
After an embarrassingly long time, it seems the US has finally stopped dithering at the starting line and entered a race that Europe and China have been running for years.
Whether we like it or not, the power system remains a black box to most people.
There’s so much going on in the world of resilient power right now, it’s hard to keep up…
In May, the Oregon Department of Energy announced its upcoming solicitation for an energy storage demonstration project.
This month, NYSERDA announced $450,525,000 in new funding for commercial/industrial scale solar PV systems between 200 kW and 2 MW capacity.
This week, the US Supreme Court agreed to review a ruling by a lower court holding that FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, has no jurisdiction to regulate demand response markets run by ISOs and RTOs.
The results of New Jersey’s Renewable Electric Storage Competitive Solicitation are in, and they are impressive.
Ever notice an obvious solution to a problem that nobody else seems to have picked up on? That’s what happened in Florida in 2012 when the Florida Solar Energy Center, working closely with the state energy office, began a program to equip public schools designated as community hurricane shelters with resilient solar+storage systems.
When considering critical infrastructure for resilient power solutions, states and cities often tend to focus on the usual suspects: public shelters, medical facilities, transportation hubs, fueling stations, first responders, emergency management facilities.
