Have concerns about the impact of more all-electric homes on California’s electrical grid? Check out #CalEnergy Commissioner J. Andrew McAllister discussing how California is transforming its energy infrastructure to support an all-electric future! To support this electrifying transition, the California Energy Commission has funded incentives and bonuses through California Electric Homes (CalEHP) to reduce costs for your all-electric residential new construction projects. Reach out to learn more about CalEHP incentives today! https://lnkd.in/e4tDSxry #AllElectric #SmartGrid #EnergyEfficiency #Incentives 

About 73% of #NewJersey households rely on power plants that run on fossil fuel to power their homes. (Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration) Energy rates are expected to increase by 25% from 2023 to 2024 mostly because of the cost of gas (Source: NJ.com) — but it doesn’t have to be this way. With an updated #transmission grid, we can transition to #CleanEnergy and get American-made electricity to homes across New Jersey for a fraction of the cost. Learn more about it here. https://hubs.ly/Q02xhBg60

A new study from The Brattle Group shows that #virtualpowerplants could save Californians $550M per year by 2035. VPPs also have the potential to significantly ease current #energy challenges, improve #gridreliability and advance the state’s efforts to create a #sustainable and reliable energy system.

While I was in Calgary last week talking to my neighbors to the North about the importance of communication and action within the regulatory space, the US DOE hit an important milestone in #transmission related efforts back in my home country, announcing a preliminary list of 10 potential National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETCs): Biden-Harris Administration Announces Initial List of High-Priority Areas for Accelerated Transmission Expansion | Department of Energy This officially kicks off Phase 2 of their 4 phase designation process. While there is still much work to be done (and from my perspective, more potential corridors to come) this is an important step in working to better integrate the US grid to prepare it for the #electrification and #cleanenergy yet to come. Looking forward to continuing to work with our clients to advance the #infrastructure needed to meet both US and Canadian #climate targets.

Virtual is quickly becoming reality. Microgrid Knowledge has the details of a report by The Brattle Group that estimates that virtual power plants will have the potential to save California consumers more than $550 million annually by 2035. #energy #virtualpowerplants #distributedenergy #infrastructure

New York State’s aging energy infrastructure can leave it vulnerable to unexpected events, such as severe weather, that can cause disruptions in service.   #PropelNYEnergy will add a transmission backbone on Long Island connecting into the statewide grid to result in greater reliability and resiliency, ensuring power flows even in severe weather conditions.    For more Propel NY Energy solution benefits, visit www.propelnyenergy.com.   #PropelNYEnergy  #ReliableEnergy

The Department of Energy's $360M investment in connecting ERCOT to the broader U.S. grid is a critical step toward enhancing grid reliability and resilience. The 320-mile Southern Spirit line will help prevent blackouts during extreme weather events, like the 2021 Texas freeze, while creating substantial job opportunities. This initiative aligns with national goals of a more interconnected and sustainable energy future. How can such investments further accelerate the transition to a more robust and resilient energy infrastructure?
