IGS Energy’s Post

10 months of relentless follow up to bag 3 meetings on our first day😎 I recently spoke about how I have been following up with a lead for TNW since last September. 2 weeks ago we closed that client, onboarded them Monday and yesterday we booked him 3 meetings from our first campaign. 1 site survey. 2 sat teams meetings with prospects looking to capex biggg systems. Good sales assets will close deals every day of the week. You need to be positioned to be the person your clients want to work with. P.s. If you want a Complimentary audit on your outbound systems comment “Audit” and I’ll take a look. No I’m not trying to sell you, unless you do commercial Solar ;)

E3 has been working on a project that is truly the first of its kind with Salt River Project, a public utility that serves more than 2 million people in Arizona. Earlier this year, the utility published its first-ever integrated system plan, which combines resource, transmission, distribution, and customer program planning in a single process. This was a pioneering effort to do planning in an entirely new way that considers the interdependencies of each part of the system. How should system planners and regulators be thinking about this holistic way to plan? Can integrated system planning help developers anticipate grid needs and get the most out of demand-side resources? What is the role for industry stakeholders? We’ll respond to these questions in a webinar on July 29 at 12pm PT, where E3’s Arne Olson and Joe Hooker will sit down in conversation with Angie Bond-Simpson of Salt River Project. We’ll leave time for Q&A and expect the conversation to be especially informative for utilities, project developers, system planners, regulators, utility stakeholders, and environmental groups.

I am excited to be associated with a team bringing 1,440 megawatts of new generation online - way to go, Oglethorpe Power Corporation. It is a significant achievement and a major step forward in meeting the State of Georgia's growing energy demands.  Combined cycle and simple-cycle combustion turbines are efficient and versatile technologies for generating electricity. They're known for their ability to quickly ramp up and down in response to demand, crucial for maintaining grid stability. Beyond addressing our State's energy needs, these projects will also contribute significantly to local prosperity by creating permanent, high-quality jobs as well as hundreds of temporary construction jobs will provide immediate economic stimulus. It's exciting to see such impacts being made through innovation and strategic planning in energy infrastructure development. #GeorgiaFamilyofCompanies #NaturalGas #NewPowerGeneration #EconomicDevelopment #GeorgiaSpeaksBiz #WeSpeakBiz #MonroeCountyGA #TalbotCountyGA

Cultivating a thriving residential solar business involves so much more than installing solar equipment—it requires meticulous attention to the legal and logistical framework that underpins each project. At the heart of this framework lies the construction agreement, a cornerstone document that delineates the scope, timeline, and financial terms of the whole installation process. In this excerpt from the new Customer Contracts & Agreements course, we hear from Christopher Gordon (he/him), Corporate Counsel at ReVision Energy, about the indispensable role of construction agreements in residential solar projects, highlighting their significance in fostering clarity and accountability between solar professionals and their customers.

The booming multi-family new construction market presents both challenges and opportunities for the natural gas industry. UTD’s latest Annual Report showcases UTD’s research to help the industry better serve multi-family new construction owners, architects, builders and tenants with advanced, efficient technologies. April Arnold, Manager at ONE Gas, Inc., states in the report, "The Multifamily Infrastructure Challenges project has given us a comprehensive insight into customer concerns. We have used this insight to develop outlines and resources to help build a greater understanding of the benefits of natural gas in multifamily developments." UTD’s participants bring valuable research and insights to R&D that benefits consumers and communities. Explore UTD’s impacts here: https://lnkd.in/gqnWMTuh #Energy

I am getting curious about people’s thoughts on equity and how it pertains to regional sales of power projects. Crossing through the states and seeing large wind farms and knowing many of these aren’t always to provide energy for local loads, brings about some interesting equity perspectives. We seem to often think of equity from a local population classification perspective, but it seems rarely from a “one state being burdened with costs and other unwanted impacts due to another states regulations and needs.” Interesting times and I wonder how long the building of resources will be restricted to only in state or local region sales.

Happy to see my team's work being recognized by Jeff St. John and Canary Media Inc.! This is exactly what we were going for when we designed the program: [Demand Side Grid Support] is available across the state, and it’s also relatively simple to take part in, according to Sunrun's Chris Rauscher, J.D.. That’s because it avoids the complexities of traditional demand-response programs, such as the “baseline” methods that estimate how much power customers would have used to determine how much they get paid for reducing consumption beyond that point — a counterfactual approach that’s led to all manner of disputes and challenges between utilities, grid operators and demand-response providers. Instead, the DSGS program’s approach to batteries is to simply measure how much power they actually inject back into the grid. Rauscher credits this type of structure with opening up the market for solar-battery systems in other markets such as Massachusetts and Hawaii. “Those simple programs are the ones that achieve the greatest success and reach the largest number of customers,” he said. That provides “a level of predictability that can allow us to offer our customers a clear value proposition at scale.” https://lnkd.in/gMwg9QR3

The most recent capacity auction in PJM will have a significant impact on commercial and industrial customers. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, one reason capacity prices are going up is because natural gas prices are going down. Achieving balance between enough capacity to meet peak demand versus paying for idle power generation assets is no easy task. Too much capacity adds unnecessary cost and too little risks blackouts. ENGIE's business development teams can help PJM customers understand the impact of the latest capacity auction. https://lnkd.in/gCw3ECge
