CPUC sides with PG&E on community solar, and the renewable energy industry isn’t pleased
California developers and policymakers are aghast over CPUC’s latest decision, which may significantly stunt community solar growth.
This smart community will power 200 homes with solar and batteries in California
The overall goal of the project is to enhance residential home energy reliability, resiliency, and efficiency as well as leverage flexible loads based on an electric microgrid architecture of connected communities.
Grid hardening through DER could soon be a viable, profitable solution for utilities
California residents will be able to sign up to be notified when Flex Alerts take place and indicate if they plan to participate. Then, CalISO will be able to validate those responses by zip code, giving the grid operator better visibility into which areas of the grid might see some relief.
SCE PPA moves Southern Power to add 160 MW energy storage to California solar projects
By Rod Walton, Power Engineering and POWERGEN+ content director The wholesale energy subsidiary of Southern Co. is adding battery storage capacity to two of the solar facilities it operates in California. Southern California Edison awarded Southern Power two 20-year power purchase agreements (PPAs). The wholesale producer is adding the energy storage to the Tranquility and Garland solar farms. “These projects will be two of
SCE to buy energy capacity from Sunrun’s 5-MW VPP to boost resilience
Sunrun announced that it has contracted with Southern California Edison (SCE) in a deal that it says will increase grid resilience and lower power costs. SCE will send signals to Sunrun during high-demand events such as extreme heat waves when the energy grid is strained. In response, Sunrun will dispatch energy from thousands of its Brightbox solar-powered battery systems installed
8minute’s 67-MW Lotus Solar Farm now fully operational
Yesterday, 8minute Solar Energy (8minute) announced that the 67-megawatt (MWdc) Lotus Solar Farm in Madera County, California is now fully operational. The energy produced by the will be delivered to Southern California Edison through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) and will reduce carbon emissions by 48,000 metric tons annually, according to 8minute. The 375-acre project was sited on low-productivity former grazing
