Power Purchase Agreements for Grid-Aware Renewable Energy Procurement

Switching to renewables and improving your home’s efficiency can lower your bills and cut your carbon footprint and there’s plenty of funding and support available in Scotland to help you.

As the energy market evolves from large centralized systems to more decentralized networks comprised of cleaner, lower carbon and renewable sources, development of renewables projects such as wind and solar are a key focus. As part of these projects, renewable project owners and developers need to evaluate the lifecycle, environmental impacts, and property acquisition as they plan, budget, and execute their renewable project. Join us to learn about the timeline and importance of development steps involved in these projects.

Through the Sustainable Solar Education Project, CESA conducted a full-day, in-person workshop on solar consumer protection. The workshop helped state officials identify and implement solar consumer protection strategies. The workshop explored a variety of solar consumer protection issues from improper solar system installation to misleading solar savings projections. Participants engaged leading experts and peers from across the country in discussions on state strategies to promote solar consumer protection. Discussions examined community solar consumer protection, solar contract disclosure requirements, the incorporation of quality assurances into program design, and more.

Center for Resource Solutions recently released a new global energy certification framework that establishes the baseline criteria for new regional and country-specific Green-e standards throughout the world. The Green-e Framework for Renewable Energy Certification addresses the longstanding need for consistent international criteria that enforce the quality of renewable energy generation, transactions and use, while providing a way to address local stakeholder and market-development goals.
