Rooftop solar and batteries make their mark at BNEF Future of Energy
Sunrun made a splash at the BNEF Summit in New York City at a time when utilities are increasingly struggling to adapt to new realities. But distributed energy resources have a long way to go to play a major role, and we will still need additional energy sources in future power systems.
Distributed energy, with fewer wires
A SEIA white paper describes the concept of non-wire solutions and how this innovation can boost solar PV and other distributed energy resources.
FERC proposal requires utilities to accommodate DERs, storage
The federal energy regulatory body wants to compel current wholesale electricity suppliers to let DER providers, including storage, to compete in the markets. This follows regulatory action on DER in New York and California.
California launches plan to align grid transformation efforts
Through the Distributed Energy Resources Action Plan, regulators will attempt to mold several disparate dockets and initiatives to meet long-term goals.
