THE RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY BY ENRICH IN THE USA

Distributed energy is an increasingly valuable player for any sustainable company that has a focus on integrating environmental and economic considerations into every aspect of the business, from supply chain management to workforce development to energy, to redefine business as usual.

Siobhan and Nicolas will focus on the complementarity of PV and storage as a brick toward 100% renewable energy generation from the perspective of a technical and commercial advisor. Important technical aspects will be covered, such as grid connection, capex and opex savings. They will also look at the emergence of DC coupling, its advantages and limitations. Finally, to provide a wider overview of the subject from an investor perspective, Romain will discuss the specificities of project financing of hybrid PV + storage assets, such as the revenue stack, how investors view these and how the co-location can build a stronger case. A mixture of presentations and a moderated panel shall make this an interesting and interactive event.

The U.S. Offshore Wind Collaborative and Clean Energy States Alliance hosted the first of a three-part series of webinars for state energy and environmental officials on Building the U.S. Offshore Wind Supply Chain, on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 9:30-11 a.m. ET. For coastal and Great Lakes states working to help launch the U.S. offshore wind energy industry, the offshore wind supply chain represents an important opportunity to stimulate state and regional economic development. As states individually and regionally begin to consider their capacities to establish the complex infrastructure necessary to implement their offshore wind development strategies, there is much to be learned by looking at the experience of the world-leading UK offshore wind market. The first webinar in this series explained the components of the supply chain and lessons learned through the first two rounds of offshore wind development in the UK, providing participants with a comprehensive overview of the UK experience in offshore wind industry supply chain development.

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.
