Scottish Home Renewables: Funding and Support

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.

Increasing levels of DERs are impacting electric utilities’ safe and efficient delivery of electricity. Operations are challenged to effectively utilize both utility-owned and third-party DERs due to limited visibility. Join GE’s webinar to learn how DER Orchestration solutions are enabling utilities to manage and orchestrate DERs in an end-to-end manner, from planning through to control, via a range of flexible deployment options from on-prem, to edge to cloud.

Grid-connected microgrids hold the potential to facilitate the integration of renewable energy generation without expensive grid reinforcements, improve energy efficiency, resiliency and most importantly cut on costs and carbon. With an increasing number of distributed energy resources and dropping costs of energy storage, balancing energy supply and demand on a local level can create a variety of advantages. Wouter Vermeiden, Manager Business Development at ZOWN, and Demijan Panic, Innovation at E.ON, were joined by Thomas Boersma, Project Manager at Solarplaza, to explore opportunities for grid-connected microgrids.

The solar industry is simultaneously experiencing the highest demand, fastest technological innovation, and greatest uncertainty in its history. These facets have all contributed to a rapidly changing environment where technologies, factories, workshops, and workers are updated, replaced, and brought online at an unprecedented pace - leading to greater risk in module quality.
