We’re putting the finishing touches on an upcoming funding round to provide grants for rebates and incentive programs for the purchase and installation of high-efficiency electric equipment. Commerce’s Energy Division is preparing to make $77.6 million of total Climate Commitment Act funding available through the State Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program. The program will award funding to eligible third-party administrators to provide the rebates and incentives to households, small businesses and adult family homes. Eligible third-party administrators include local governments, tribal governments, community action agencies, retail electric utilities and nonprofit organizations. Equipment eligible for the program include heat pumps, heat pump hot water heaters, induction cooking equipment, heat pump clothes dryers and electric service upgrades. We anticipate the HEAR funding round for local governments and tribes will open this month. ✍ Want to share your feedback about the program?

Last month, we announced our three-year partnership with Macclesfield Football Club to help them win energy efficiency gains ⚽   That’s right, we're teaming up with Macclesfield to kick energy costs to the curb, while helping to reduce the club’s carbon footprint.   And here's the game plan: Our voltage optimisers will slash Macclesfield’s electrical consumption by up to twelve per cent, achieved by fine tuning the voltage supplied by the National Grid.   The result? An annual saving of over £10,000 💰   This victory in cost reduction not only allows Macclesfield to reinvest money back into the club, but also provides a shield against potential price hikes from energy suppliers.   You can read more about the partnership in Electrical Times: https://bit.ly/49UPvGi   #MacclesfieldFC #VoltageOptimisation #CarbonReduction

Cycles and revenue were closely linked for two-hour batteries in July 2024. Hawkers Hill was the highest-earning battery, and the only two-hour battery to average more than 1.5 cycles per day. On average, performing an extra cycle resulted in an extra £2k/MW in revenue - 75% of the GB BESS index for two-hour batteries in July. The link between cycles and revenues was less clear for one-hour batteries. Capenhurst 4 was the highest-earning system, but performed fewer cycles than 20% of one-hour batteries.

AT&T Applies To End Obligation To Service Landlines In California: AT&T is applying to end its obligation to service landlines in certain areas of California. "The application is pending under the California Public Utilities Commission, but the end of a landline means the end of communication for some people," reports CBS News. From the report: The company said in a statement to CBS13: "Our application seeks approval from the CPUC to remove outdated regulations in California and to help the limited remaining landline consumers transition to modern, alternative services to replace their current outdated ones. All AT&T California customers will continue to receive their traditional landline services until an alternative service becomes available by AT&T or another provider." The CPUC will be holding four public hearings on the matter through March. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
