Transmission Planning for a High Renewable Energy Future

The Latin American renewable energy industry has an enormous potential for development and growth. The region is geographically perfect to develop all kind of renewable energy sources and is committed to make it happen. However, first it needs to overcome some obstacles and bring more investments into the region.

Distributed, grid-connected photovoltaic (DGPV) systems pose a unique set of opportunities and challenges. Key technical and economic challenges related to DGPV integration are shaping how we plan, operate, regulate and even conceptualize the power system. Panelists in the webinar provided a high-level overview of the USAID Distributed Generation Technical Assistance program, provided some context as to the prospective role of DGPV in developing countries and discussed the key economic and technical challenges/opportunities associated with DGPV programs.

oin us for an engaging panel discussion on energy storage featuring experts from Duke Energy, TECO, Wartsila, and Powin Energy. Our panelists, moderated by McKim & Creed’s published Director of Renewables, Sol Haroon, will explore how energy storage can help meet the challenges of obtaining and utilizing clean, predictable, dispatchable and resilient power in the 21st century. Discussion will also include how energy storage is radically changing the renewable energy landscape and the path forward to developing a brighter energy future. To learn more about energy storage, we welcome you to join this conversation on Thursday, March 10 at Noon ET.

The key role energy storage plays in the clean energy transformation has never been more clear — and 2022 will be a critical year to ramp up deployment of this critical resource. CESA’s annual Market Outlook webinar provides a look back on a historic year for storage deployment in California — with grid-connected storage growing 6-fold to 1,800 MW — alongside exclusive insights on what’s to come in 2022.
