#ICYMI - PJM Study Weighs Effects of Policies on the Future Grid https://lnkd.in/eAFuUGn2

As usual to the point: https://lnkd.in/eARm8ubc The key element however of which depends the speed of the needed transition is funding. Politicians should take note. #EPFL #greentransition

About this report Today's main policy...

The topic of electric rates and #ratedesign can get pretty technical and wonky, but at its heart, what matters, arguably the most, is how it impacts #people (yes, and #climate, but we can't forget the humans!) Earlier this year, the MA Interagency Rates Working Group (IRWG), in response to some very insightful and effective advocacy, sought additional expertise to provide supplemental work to better address the #equity impacts of electric rate levels and rate changes on different demographic groups, with a focus on vulnerable ratepayers. This week, Destenie Nock, PhD of Peoples Energy Analytics presented on the first set of her recommendations. 💥 See her presentation: https://lnkd.in/e6Khmuad 💥 And recording: https://lnkd.in/echDvC5X What became clear was: 1️⃣ #energyaffordability needs a comprehensive approach and definition - it is not captured by energy burden 2️⃣ Demographics such as race and age can be distinctive determinants of energy use patterns 3️⃣ The power of data and analytics to advance energy affordability and equity (brought to light by the compelling and innovative work Destenie and her team are doing) 4️⃣ With these tools in hand, we don't have any excuses to not be supporting our most vulnerable households during the #energytransition What's next? Dr. Nock's recommendations include methods for incorporating better analytics into our rate impact analyses in MA. Let's make it happen...

When deciding policies and getting ready for the #energytransition, it’s good to look at what happened in the past and identify errors that should be addressed so that the same issues don’t repeat in the future | Watch Sugandha Srivastav’s dive into energy markets, the costs and challenges of existing contracts, and strategies for balancing the interests of investors and the need for technological advancement in the energy sector Based on Sugandha’s work at The Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School and #OxfordSmithSchool Doyne Farmer Sam Fankhauser https://lnkd.in/ezzU_ySs

Let's embrace the power of solar energy together! #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SolarPower #GreenEnergy #SRECs #CleanEnergy https://lnkd.in/dVD6-sqD

If we can manage the political risks that’s what we should do.

Solar Select has been featured in the latest issue of Electrical Contracting News (ECN)! In the June edition of the Electrical Contracting News (ECN) e-magazine our managing director Terry Hayward talks about the benefits associated and the important steps that businesses need to take to achieve a greener future. At Solar Select, we’re proud to highlight the innovative strides we are making in the solar energy sector. From cutting-edge solar technology to practical applications in commercial vehicles, the team is committed to leading the charge towards sustainability. In addition to our Electrical Contracting News (ECN) feature, we have had a number of other businesses on the Salwarpe Business Park asking about the benefits of using electric forklifts and the associated advantages. Electric forklifts offer significant benefits, including reduced carbon emissions, lower operational costs, and quieter operations, making them an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their sustainability efforts. We are excited to see the growing interest in eco-friendly solutions within our community and we invite you to read the full article and join the conversation about the future of sustainable energy. https://lnkd.in/eUdAkrpS #SolarSelect #ECN #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #SolarPower #GreenerFuture #CommercialVehicles #ElectricForklifts #SalwarpeBusinessPark #ElectricalContractingNews #ECNFeature
