Upcoming
This webinar features report authors discussing a recent report, jointly published by the CESA and Sandia National Laboratories, that highlights emerging strategies used by the leading states to advance energy storage adoption in underserved and low-income communities.
An increase in severe weather events, combined with aging energy infrastructure, is resulting in more frequent and longer duration power outages. This webinar will focus on innovative applications of solar+storage to assist vulnerable communities in the event of an outage and emergency event.
This event will bring together state and federal government officials and program staff who are working to implement IRA/BIL programs.

Many state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies will reach their peak requirement over the next few years. In this webinar, guest speaker Ed Holt discusses what could happen to state RPSs when they max out, and what options the states have when, and if, they begin to plan for the end of RPS in their states.
This webinar discussed consumer protection issues that may arise in community solar projects for residential consumers, and the role states play in ensuring appropriate consumer protections.
Wayne Waite and Seth Mullendore presented their new report on how energy storage can effectively hedge against proposed changes to California’s solar policies and utility rates that could drastically reduce the value of solar.
CESA hosted a full-day workshop for state officials on low- and moderate-income (LMI) solar. The workshop examined the challenges states face in promoting LMI solar and highlighted ideas for overcoming those challenges. State employees from any state were welcome to apply to attend the workshop.
The Spring 2017 CESA Membership Meeting was held in Washington, D.C. on June 11-13 and co-hosted by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG).
