I'm pleased to share that the California Public Utilities Commission recently issued a significant decision allowing renewable energy systems to be approved to interconnect to the electric grid using an energy export schedule that is designed to avoid grid impacts. This approach, which leverages California’s public grid data, can reduce the need for costly infrastructure upgrades and support higher levels of renewables on the grid. The decision is the first of its kind in the U.S. and is a major milestone in enabling distributed energy resources (DERs), like solar PV and energy storage, to operate in flexible ways that align with conditions on the grid. The decision was significantly shaped by recommendations from Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), which has been actively engaged for over a decade in reforming California's interconnection policies to enable more efficient clean energy development while maintaining grid safety and reliability.

Ohio is a state leader in clean energy. The state’s total clean energy capacity stands at nearly 2,900 megawatts. This is enough electricity to power the equivalent of over 710,000 homes. Ohio also hosts 60 operating clean energy manufacturing facilities. The clean energy economy created by these projects supports jobs for over 9,000 Ohioans. Ohio’s private sector has invested nearly $4.65 billion in utility-scale solar, wind, and storage projects, helping drive economic growth in the state.

Battery storage from solar power is the way of the future! Check out this article that highlights several new projects that will soon be added to our grid. It's great to see planners taking into consideration the energy demand and ability to support these new systems. Read more: https://lnkd.in/grQga793

The New York Times highlights the critical role of renewables and battery storage in stabilizing Texas’ power grid. In the article, Matthew Boms of Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance (our Texas state affiliate) is quoted on the importance of clean energy solutions in building a more reliable and resilient grid. With Texas increasingly turning to solar power and battery storage to see it through extreme weather, it’s crucial that we continue advocating for policies that support the growth of advanced energy technologies.
