We need sound #StateInterconnectionRules to decarbonize the grid in a way that is cost-effective. Our Local Solar Roadmap study found that a mix of local #solar technologies and utility-scale will save American consumers $473 billion by 2050 compared to utility-scale alone. ☀️ #CleanEnergy integration at all levels of the grid, including local systems for families and businesses, is key to decarbonization.

Do you want to see what a #growth industry looks like? Look no further than the grid storage industry, which through September installed as much new #batterystorage capacity in 9 months as it did in all of 2022. With quarter over quarter growth of 27%, the industry set both new quarterly AND annual installation records. And with three more months of activity to fold in, 2023 ushers in a step-change in grid storage market size. This growth is encouraging but challenges remain. Snarled supply chains, lengthy and uncertain permitting regimes, and bloated and time-intensive interconnection queues, among other issues, threaten to throttle growth in this industry. And the timing is unfortunate as grids are witnessing a return to demand growth and resource adequacy concerns rise in the face of extreme weather and supply/demand mismatches.

Interconnection reform is key to accelerating the build out of #solar and #storage. The Solar and Storage Industries Institute's latest whitepaper proposes solutions aimed at lowering costs and reducing backlogs. “America’s ability to reach our climate goals starts and ends with how efficiently we can get projects connected to the grid. The interconnection process is a black box with unknown wait times and costs for clean energy developers. We need the solutions detailed in SI2’s report to serve growing demand for electricity with reliable, low-cost solar and storage." — Abby Hopper, president and CEO of SEIA.

https://lnkd.in/dWdDwktX ⚡ Power to the People: The Global Distributed Generation Market is on the rise, marking a shift towards decentralized power generation. 🌍 With diverse sources like solar and wind, DG brings resilience and efficiency to energy distribution. 💡 #maximizemarketresearch #DistributedGeneration #RenewableEnergy #Decentralization #EnergyTransition 🌱

The U.S. grid is undergoing a significant transformation, with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) including solar panels and wind turbines playing an increasingly pivotal role. How can these individual, often small-scale power sources plan to effectively participate in the energy market? Enter DER aggregators. Alex Lago explores the realm of DER aggregators in his latest article with the Utility Analytics Institute (UAI). https://lnkd.in/gjxb7mqe #GridInnovation #DERs #EnergyTransition #utilityanalytics

Great article = clarification of what is not a microgrid. That is, solar &storage \community solar \ VPPS are not ! #cleanenergytransition #solarenergy #netzeroemissions Elisa Wood Microgrid Knowledge Clean Energy Council https://lnkd.in/gXu_vtSu

Critics of MN’s community solar program often say the program serves too many “commercial” subscribers. What they aren’t telling you is “commercial” subscribers include public schools, higher education institutions, & local governments—like the City of Winona who will lose over $2 million if the MN PUC approves an Xcel Energy proposal to retroactively change 25-year contracts. An even larger concern: what chilling effect would such a decision have on clean energy deployment more broadly as investors & financiers can’t trust that contracts will be honored in MN? #solar #solarenergy #cleanenergy

Cool article! Nice to see the different dispatch strategies and the grid resilience. Will definitely dig deeper to find the frequency response behind these swings. Especially for Texas given the higher renewable penetration!

📣 Shout it from the rooftops y'all. The clock is ticking on full 1 to 1 net metering rates for FirstEnergy customers. After a months-long battle with the out-of-state monopoly utility, we finally have certainty about the future of solar in West Virginia. The good news is-- it's here to stay... But to maximize your solar savings, you've got to commit by the end of this year. #SolarHoller #MineTheSun #SolarSaves
