Clean Energy Standard Annual Progress Report

February 13, 2019

The Clean Energy Standard Progress Report is intended to summarize and analyze progress toward New York’s Clean Energy Standard (CES) which mandates that 50% of the State’s electricity must come from renewable energy sources by 2030 as part of a strategy to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. The report includes reporting on aggregate Load Serving Entity (LSE) compliance with Renewable Energy Standard (RES) and Zero-Emissions Credit (ZEC) obligations over the compliance period and discusses the results of other means to achieve the CES mandate, including accounting for baseline renewable and voluntary market activity.

Deeper waters, stronger winds

whitePaper | October 18, 2022

The world is faced with three global and interconnected crises: An energy crisis, led by supply disruption and skyrocketing costs of energy; a climate crisis, caused by our historic and current greenhouse gas emissions; and a biodiversity crisis, marked by habitat degradation and biodiversity loss. These megatrends influence and exacerbate each other, making it imperative to consider them together when developing effective responses.

Is your organization’s journey to net zero headed down thewrong path? Here’s the sustainability safety net to get you back on track.

whitePaper | December 11, 2022

Most companies run into significant challenges on the path to net zero. Many cannot get a handle on their current sustainability performance because it’s hard to aggregate data from a myriad of sources. Others are so overwhelmed with the financials, they freeze on their path to net zero or, worse yet, they never start. Even large businesses may struggle to make upgrades to bolster their buildings’ energy efficiency or afford expensive new equipment and smart building technology. Instead, immediate budgetary needs, like paying employee salaries and product development, take precedent.

Solving the Energy Trilemma

whitePaper | August 11, 2022

The global climate change summit, COP26, in November last year emphasised the urgent need to keep 1.5 degrees Celsius alive, limit global warming and push for more low-carbon power, as well as renewables. Then prices for energy began to skyrocket in Europe and Asian markets in January due to post-COVID energy bottlenecks. Finally, the recent war in Ukraine has emboldened world leaders’ to prioritise energy security and question where their imported fuels come from.

Decentralized Energy White Paper: Adaptive Local EnergyCommunities

whitePaper | October 7, 2022

The decarbonization targets and the development of renewable and low carbon technologies are changing the electricity systems in UK and worldwide. The sustainable implementation of this changes in the energy markets can be achieved only if the consumers/ prosumers are rightly incentivised. Furthermore, the integration of the system, transmission and distribution network operators in the overall local energy portfolio is crucial for the successful and practical operation of the smart local energy systems (SLES).
