Microgrid

California Energy Commission awarded a grant to BoxPower through a program intended to accelerate production of clean energy technologies.

The microgrid will add 5 MW of solar and 15 MWh of long-duration energy storage and is funded by a state grant.

Also on the rise: Solar equipment distributor announces business close, inventory clearance. Solving the challenges of a growing EV industry. And more.

The report defines implementation actions, highly detailed in the PR 100 Final Report, but which are summarized into five actions from immediate to long-term to recurring.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution can be paired with Mainspring Energy’s Linear Generator to produce and store carbon-free energy for continuous use.

The 15 MW / 38 MWh Viejas Microgrid is the first project to be offered a conditional commitment through the Tribal Energy Financing Program.

Also on the rise: California has become rooftop solar and batteries NEM-esis. Renewable energy merger and acquisition opportunities for 2024. And more.

The Montezuma project with a 3 MW solar installation and a battery energy storage system is expected to lower energy costs for residents by as much as 18% and to reduce transmission costs for the utility by 34%

Adding residential solar or commercial-scale electric vehicle chargers on a utility’s distribution feeder may require the utility to conduct power flow calculations. Duke Energy can now complete those studies in hours, an Amazon executive said at a policy forum held by ACORE.

Also on the rise: Solar at “twice the natural capacity factor of the sun”. The importance of community solar in all-of-the-above renewable energy strategy. And more.
