Resilient Power Project Webinar: Load Defection: How Solar+Storage Will Change The World

August 20, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project, features a discussion with Leia Guccione and Jesse Morris, authors of the Rocky Mountain Institute’s new report, “The Economics of Load Defection.” This report describes what will the grid look like when many customers remain connected, but can increasingly self-supply a large portion of their electricity.

CESA Webinar: Renewable Heating and Cooling Policies for the Commercial Sector

July 16, 2015

Guest speaker Neil Veilleux from Meister Consultants Group discussed their recent paper, “Waking the Sleeping Giant” — an in-depth look at next generation policy instruments for renewable heating and cooling in commercial buildings.

Resilient Power Project Webinar: Fuel Cells for Electric Supply and Grid Support

July 15, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project and the Northeast Electrochemical Energy Storage Cluster (NEESC), features a discussion on 1) how fuel cells are being used to support the electric grid; 2) fuel cell characteristics including ease of siting and emissions reliability; 3) supporting microgrid applications; and 4) policies on both the state and federal level. Guest speakers include Andy Skok and George Berntsen of Fuel Cell Energy Inc., and Bud DeFlaviis of Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association.

Resilient Power Project Webinar: What States Should Do: A Guide to Resilient Power Programs and Policy

July 14, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project, introduces Clean Energy Group’s new report on state resilient power policy, and includes a discussion on resilient power efforts going forward in Massachusetts and Oregon. Panelists include Todd Olinsky-Paul of Clean Energy Group, Gerry Bingham of Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Diane Broad of the Oregon Department of Energy, and Liza Nolan of the New Jersey Energy Resilience Bank.

Resilient Power Project Webinar: Energy Storage for Demand Charge Management

June 24, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project, introduces the concept of energy storage for demand charge management. Guest speakers include Steve Kelley from Green Charge Networks and Mark Johnson from Schneider Electric.

RPS Collaborative Webinar: Using AVERT to Estimate the Emissions Benefits of Clean Energy Policies and Programs

June 1, 2015

The webinar will describe and demonstrate AVERT, a free, open-access tool that allows non-expert users to quantify displaced emissions of CO2, SO2, and NOX, and avoided generation mitigated by state or multi-state programs. Stakeholders and regulators can also use the tool to identify likely units and regions impacted by different efficiency or renewable energy programs.

Resilient Power Project Webinar: New Jersey’s Resilient Energy Storage Awards

May 22, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project, features Scott Hunter from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for a discussion on New Jersey’s $3 million Renewable Electric Storage Competitive Solicitation, which has announced awards to 13 solar+storage projects (one also uses a significant amount of wind generation) that will provide resilient power to critical facilities.

RPS Collaborative Webinar: Updates from Connecticut and Wisconsin

May 5, 2015

The webinar will provide updates on the RPS programs and activities in Connecticut and Wisconsin. The focus will be on program elements and developments that may be of interest to other states.

Resilient Power Project Webinar: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Development Plans for the Northeastern States

May 4, 2015

This webinar, presented by Clean Energy Group’s Resilient Power Project, highlights the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT)’s hydrogen and fuel cell roadmaps for Northeastern states. Guest speakers include Joel Rinebold of CCAT, Jennifer Gangi of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association, Kent McCord of Doosan Fuel Cell America, and Kevin Kinnaw of Toyota.

CHP Multi-State Working Group

May 1, 2015

CESA is starting a multi-state collaboration on combined heat and power systems and components. The idea is to create a unified list of pre-approved CHP systems and system components as a way to drive down costs, increase customer satisfaction, accelerate deployment, grow markets and lower risks. This webinar featured a presentation by Dr. Dana Levy about NYSERDA’s CHP acceleration project, which has had some good success with this approach, followed by state-by-state updates from webinar participants.
