Very happy to see DEEP going forward with distributed generation and storage and the move to a modern grid. Now we need them to acknowledge that the climate change and biodiversity crisis go hand in hand and that they need to embrace nature based solutions that provide multiple ecosystem services. We should be addressing both mitigation and adaptation simultaneously. #naturebasedsolutions #biodiversity #soilhealth #negativeemissioms

We were thrilled to participate in the University of Connecticut & Eversource Energy’s first Sustainable Clean Energy Summit yesterday, where the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Deputy Commissioner Hank Webster talked about emerging opportunities to modernize energy transmission and distribution systems to better engage and serve consumers.   “For most of its century-plus history, our local grid has been built to accommodate the one-way flow of energy, from rivers or power plants to consumers at the end of a wire. But we’re now solidly in the midst of a long-term technological shift, where readily available products and services can make consumers more active participants in the broader system. Investments in energy efficiency, rooftop solar, battery storage, and demand response programs can all help avoid more costly reliability events and reduce dangerous emissions at the same time.” #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #Energy #RooftopSolar #BatteryStorage

2024 holds exciting prospects for clean #energy and innovative #climatechange solutions. It's an honor to be reappointed to serve on the 2024 Maryland Clean Energy Center Advisory Council. Maryland has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas reductions and the deployment of renewable energy technologies. The Maryland Clean Energy Center (MCEC) serves as a statewide green bank with a mission to transform the energy economy in Maryland by increasing clean energy jobs, driving commercialization of technological innovations, and enabling consumer adoption of clean energy products and services. I look forward to collaborating with talented leaders as we collectively aim our efforts to drive the adoption of clean energy initiatives within the State of Maryland. Here's to a year of meaningful impact and sustainable progress! #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #MarylandEnergy #RIFEInternational #innovation #sustainability

As we navigate the challenges of energy reliability and sustainability, the Goldendale Energy Storage Project stands out as a critical piece of infrastructure. It functions effectively as a giant water battery, providing carbon-free electricity during peak demand times. This capability is essential for stabilizing the grid and promoting a sustainable energy transition. #CleanEnergy #PumpedStorageHydro #RenewableEnergy #Hydropower #GridReliability

🌿 Leading the Charge in Clean Energy: How TCLP Aligns with Michigan’s New Sustainable Path 🌿 We at Traverse City Light & Power are excited to share that Michigan’s recent legislative advancements in clean and renewable energy resonate deeply with our own strategic goals. The newly passed Clean & Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act marks a pivotal moment in our state’s commitment to a sustainable future, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation. Our Climate Action Plan (CAP) was an early indicator of our dedication to a 100% renewable energy portfolio, not just as an aspiration but as a firm commitment to our community and the environment. This plan has set us on a path that not only aligns with but also accelerates the objectives of the new state legislation. As we continue to innovate and implement utility solutions aimed at reducing our carbon footprint, this alignment with state policy reinforces our position as a leader in the energy sector. It’s not only about adhering to new standards; it’s about setting them. The journey toward sustainable energy is a collaborative one, and Michigan’s recent legislative step is a testament to the power of collective action for the greater good of our planet and its inhabitants. At TCLP, we remain committed to playing a vital role in this journey, ensuring that our strategies contribute to the health and wellbeing of our community and set an example for others to follow. Let’s embrace this moment as a catalyst for continued innovation and leadership in sustainable energy. Together, we are not just powering homes and businesses; we’re powering a brighter, cleaner future for all.
