Renewable Energy Markets 101

The installation of battery energy storage in behind-the-meter applications is poised for exponential growth over the next few years. Batteries can be combined with solar to form grid-connected microgrids meaning that these assets can be used for economic benefit when the grid is operating and then provide resiliency during grid outages. The key to making such hybrid systems economically viable is to stack revenue from multiple applications, such as peak demand charge reduction, energy arbitrage, providing ancillary services to the grid, and participating in demand response programs, among others.

As incentives for utilities to own renewable energy projects grow and change, it is not always clear which path to ownership is the best. One such path becoming more popular is through Build-Transfer Agreements (BTA). There are many variants of BTAs, including asset purchase agreements (APA) with a form of Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract attached. To better execute on BTAs, it is important to understand the associated risks and learn how to best mitigate them. What are these main technical risks that utilities.

It is no longer enough to deliver electrons to the end customer. Today’s utilities have to make the leap from being meter-centric to customer centric. And you have to do it quickly. Watch this webinar to hear how Momentum Energy, owned by Hydro Tasmania, Australia's largest generator of renewable energy, streamlined and simplified its technology and processes to give its customers a better experience.You will get tips and insights into how Mome

The market for community solar is expanding, but so are the challenges. Learn the best practices for designing a community solar program from three organizations that have experienced the challenges themselves. From tackling community solar policy in Chicago, to developing programs that are effectively coupled with other distributed energy resources, to launching and selling out a 1.5MW system in Nebraska, our experts will give you the blueprints they have created, and how their thinking of community solar has changed over the last three years.
