Paired Power’s Post

There is continued momentum in our sustainable infrastructure strategy, with local, state, and federal policies continuing to provide benefits across various renewable natural gas (RNG), waste-to-power, solar, hydro, and energy storage projects. North Sky Capital’s projects also achieved new milestones, including the inaugural injection of renewable gas into the Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility’s pipeline.

Today we have announced our interim financial results for the first half of 2024. In a normalising market, we have reported profit before tax of £4.4m, and are on track for full year market expectations. The period was a positive one which saw us consolidate installation services including solar, storage, heat pumps and EV charging across the South. Enabling us to offer a 'whole greener home and business' from one trusted provider to customers.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Harneet Panesar, moderated the closing panel at this year’s DISTRIBUTECH International. The annual transmission and distribution conference was attended by more than 17,000 participants from around the globe.   Titled, “Unleashing the Potential of Electric Vehicles for Future Distribution System Evolution,” the panel explored the convergence of utility operations into the digital sphere, two-way real-time dialogue with customers, and the agile fusion of clean, decentralized energy sources.   Panelists shared their insights on grid flexibility and orchestration, the distribution system operator model, distributed energy resources, and the need to manage peaks nimbly by building in system intelligence that supports the rising use of EVs.   When it comes to the energy transition, we’re all in this together: the discussion made clear that we are now seeing more partnerships, even among competitors, to enable efficiencies and interoperability in services and offerings for customers.   Thank you to Panelists:     Apoorv Bhargava, CEO of WeaveGrid  Jigar Shah, Head of Energy Services at Electrify America   Daniel Carr, Head, Smart Cities, at Alectra GRE&T Centre   Quinn Nakayama, Senior Director of Grid Research Innovation and Development at Pacific Gas and Electric Company     And Panel Chairperson:    Rachel Robinson, Senior Director, Sales Enablement and Client Success of WeaveGrid.    And thank you Neetika Sathe, Vice President, Alectra GRE&T center for bringing folks together for this conversation.    As Ontario’s independent regulator of the energy sector, we’re committed to our mandate of protecting and delivering value to the public while at the same time evolving the OEB and driving our innovation and energy transition efforts forward as we enable Ontario’s energy advantage.    Learn about the OEB’s work on EV integration, energy transition, energy distribution and more at www.oeb.ca and https://lnkd.in/dRVBRNem   

A recent interview I had with Yusuf Latief (thank you) on the battleground of Home Energy Management (HEM) in Smart Energy International's Power Playbook column. 🏡💡 What are the recent partnerships in this segment?  The diverse players in the field, from OEMs to integrators to energy retailers, are fighting for market share. Who will win the ownership of the final customers? This battle is the reason for closed APIs from some players. that require partnerships to make sure they get the value. https://lnkd.in/ePeSuKc4

Congratulations to Flex-N-Gate Covington for successfully completing their lighting upgrade project and participating in our Midstream program. On September 10, 2024, Duke Energy presented Flex-N-Gate Covington the Business Energy Excellence (BEE) Award in recognition of their commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability. The project included replacing 141 units of HID lighting to LED Highbays and 173 2x4 T8 fluorescent units to LED panels. By participating in our Midstream program, Duke Energy was able to provide instant rebate savings of $29,504. The total annual kWh savings is projected at 128,970. Present at the award presentation are Vincent Literal, Cheryl Arnold and Terry Moore from Duke Energy and Steven Hughes, Thomas Crain, Brian Peyton, Michelle Myers and Casey Sheahan from Flex-N-Gate. I can help your business save too.

Increase system reliability, optimize daily operations, meet sustainability goals and even improve business outcomes. #DukeEnergy #Midstream #EnergyEfficiency #InstantSavings #EnergySavings #Rebates #Incentives #Upgrade

An excellent chat with LCP Delta's George Husni about developments in the home energy management market. The potential of self consumption and #demandresponse has been growing across the energy sector, both in the US and in Europe and his insights into the next steps for players in the market were great to hear. Read the latest edition of my #energyfinance column below:

It’s a new year and with it, exciting opportunities are on the horizon here at home, and nationally, for growth in the commercial electrical services market. Explore Miller Electric’s energy outlook for 2024. https://lnkd.in/gMSEF-Xk

I've spent the last few years trying to figure out the best way to use the skills I developed founding Mixpanel to contribute to the fight against climate change. I think we've found it with Recheck. In the US we primarily have a deployment problem–we need to deploy solutions much faster than we are–and the best way to contribute with software is to solve deployment bottlenecks. After investigating many possible approaches, Garret Heaton, Chris Collins, and I have decided to focus on residential solar. There are a number of things slowing the deployment of residential solar. One of them is public perception. The vast majority of the people involved in solar are in it for the right reasons, but there are a small number of bad actors that are out there taking advantage of people–typically the most vulnerable people–with little to no accountability. This is painful for the people affected and harms the reputation of the entire industry. With Recheck, we want to help solve this problem. With the support of the Solar Energy Industries Association, we've built a coalition of some of the most influential organizations in the industry, who are all going to use Recheck to add transparency and accountability to the solar sales process with the goal of preventing future misconduct. Many thanks to our partners Dividend, Freedom Forever, GoodLeap, Mosaic, Palmetto, Sungage Financial, Sunlight Financial, and Sunrun for supporting Recheck as part of their ongoing efforts to ensure that every household that goes solar has a great experience.

Check this recent interview from my colleague George Husni talking about the competitive landscape of Home Energy Management (HEM) in Smart Energy International's Power Playbook column. In a growing global Home Energy Management system market, consolidatory moves matter. Various entities, including OEMs, integrators, and energy retailers (if and when they decide to properly engage), are battling for dominance in the market, but the question remains: Who will ultimately secure ownership of the end consumers?

The only way abundant energy can be available and affordable is through an all-of-the-above development policy. Here are the numbers. California should be setting an example of how to do it right, instead of going off the deep end with "renewables." https://lnkd.in/gW_Jm85i
