How the Resilient Energy Subscription market mechanism will help finance Community Microgrids
How do we finance Community Microgrids and properly value their significant resilience benefits? In this op-ed for Utility Dive, the Clean Coalition's Executive Director, Craig Lewis, shows how our Resilient Energy Subscription (RES) market mechanism addresses these challenges in a straightforward manner.
Front-of-meter energy storage interconnection needs serious policy innovation
The Clean Coalition is leading the Valencia Gardens Energy Storage (VGES) Project, which is staging to become the first front-of-meter (FOM) merchant energy storage project in California. Based on our VGES experience to date, we developed a case study highlighting the interconnection issues encountered — and detailing our proposed process and policy solutions.
How deploying more local solar and storage will save Californians billions
The traditional thinking is that economies of scale favor remote energy generation. But a recent Local Solar for All Coalition study, based on results from Vibrant Clean Energy's powerful model, turns this thinking on its head. At a Clean Coalition webinar, Karl Rábago and Bernadette del Chiaro explained what this means for California.
A leading load management solution for microgrids and demand response
To significantly lower the barrier to entry for Solar Microgrids and Community Microgrids, we need to implement hyper-intelligent and digitally flexible energy delivery devices. Atom Power, which has emerged as a leader in this area, presented on their solution at a recent Clean Coalition webinar.
The state of national climate and energy policy
The 2020 election has led to sweeping changes in federal policies. But will the Biden administration be able to meet its ambitious clean energy and carbon reduction goals? In this blog post for the Clean Coalition, attorney David Duperrault takes a close look at the latest in federal policy, including the infrastructure and budget reconciliation bills.
