ICYMI: Our friends at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) unpack the California Public Utilities Commission's decision on energization timelines in its latest blog. #PACTCoalition agrees: The CPUC's decision marks progress toward the state’s climate and air quality goals, but there is still more that can be done to realize the huge public health, climate, and economic benefits of a zero-emission transportation future. Our members are committed to supporting California in these efforts. 🌱 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eN_m5m7b #transportationelectrification #ZEVInfrastructure

This week, Quino CEO Eugene Beh is attending California Energy Storage Alliance's 15th Annual Market Development Forum. Safe, affordable, and scalable energy storage solutions are needed to help California achieve its decarbonization and grid reliability goals. This conference will convene regulators, utilities, and innovators - like Quino! - working across the energy storage ecosystem. Attending and interested in learning about how Quino is shaping the flow battery market in California and beyond? Message Eugene to set up a meeting. #CESA #marketdevelopment #LDES #flowbattery

The California Energy Commission has launched an RFP for "Distributed Energy and Electrification Analysis" using the LF Energy Arras project. The goal of the initiative is "to buildout the state’s electric distribution grid model to support the CEC in assessing various electrification and distributed energy resource (DER) adoption scenarios."

Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (#FLISR) is a critical component of #GridModernization efforts across the utility sector. At DigitaLogic, Inc. we empower utility companies to optimize their FLISR initiatives by seamlessly integrating the monitoring, control, and automation of both legacy and new devices—along with isolated FISR systems—onto a single, unified platform with our Enterprise to Field System (#EFS) technology. By consolidating diverse systems, DigitaLogic helps utilities enhance operational efficiency, improve grid reliability, and streamline restoration processes—all crucial to maintaining resilient infrastructure. Read more about #FLISR technology and how our EFS technology supports FLISR efforts: https://lnkd.in/en5mtDgm #GridModernization #EnterpriseToFieldSystem #FLISR #Utilities #EFS #InfrastructureInnovation #SmartGrid #EnergyTech

Deploying virtual power plants (VPPs) can help utilities avoid billions in new generation and transmission costs. What's holding them back? Panelists at a Heatmap Labs and Uplight webinar highlighted issues like inadequate performance accountability and poor visibility into distribution networks. Check out this Utility Dive article for insights on how to overcome these challenges. #distributedenergy #virtualpowerplants #energystorage

Energy Transition ➕ Decarbonization = Changing Energy Landscape With a changing energy landscape, traditional planning methods are no longer going to enable utilities and energy organizations to plan successfully and effectively. A new energy landscape requires a new planning methodology. That methodology? Integrated System Planning (ISP). 💡 ISP is a new holistic approach to energy planning, which accounts for traditionally disparate systems as a whole. In ISP, planning departments access & leverage coordinated: 👉 Load forecasts 👉 System reliability and adequacy inputs 👉 Stakeholder feedback inputs 👉 Scenario correlation and version data When coordinated, this creates an optimal investment plan resulting in improved reliability, correlated forecast scenarios, data fidelity, preparation for extreme weather events, correlation between energy commodities, and improved collaboration with stakeholders. Leave traditional planning methods in the past. Learn all about ISP in our blog: https://bit.ly/3UnvbGA #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #EnergyModeling #PLEXOS

New Bill SB 1006 requiring utilities in California to evaluate grid enhancing technologies (GETs) projects in transmission planning has just been signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom⚡ GETs projects must be evaluated across seven distinct benefits: 🔹Increased transmission capacity 🔹Reduced transmission system congestion 🔹Reduced curtailment of renewable and zero-carbon resources 🔹Increased reliability 🔹Reduced risk of igniting wildfire 🔹Increased capacity to connect new renewable energy and zero-carbon resources 🔹Increased flexibility to reduce risks surrounding technology and permitting uncertainties and improve optionality for load-serving entities SB 1006➡️https://hubs.ly/Q02RsRD_0 Graphic credits: WATT Coalition

Yes, thanks Advanced Energy United - a concise, clear explainer about #utility fixed charges, and why the Nevada proposed rate design change shouldn't be enabled. "Typically, utility bills are based on actual electricity and gas usage, perhaps with a modest fixed charge, but recently utilities have been proposing very large fixed charges on top of their already-approved charges and per-usage rates." https://lnkd.in/eCYiqK64
