✅ California's community solar potential is not being fulfilled amidst stakeholder demands, leading to a controversial vote by the CPUC. ✅ Alliant Energy in Wisconsin completes 200 MW solar project, part of a 12-project buildout, with combined capacity reaching over 1 GW. ✅ Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) advances in competition with lithium-ion batteries, offering lower costs over larger periods. From community solar projects in California not reaching their full potential owing to a contentious CPUC vote, to unprecedented solar accomplishments in Wisconsin where Alliant Energy wraps up a 200 MW solar project - part of an ambitious multi-phase assignment spanning 12 projects aiming for over 1 GW! The post also discusses remarkable advancements in Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES), expected to overtake lithium-ion batteries with lower costs over extended periods. In international news, price trends in the global solar industry are fluctuating due to complex intercontinental trade environments, with the solar wafer prices softening. As for weather, unique irradiance patterns recorded across North America due to the Gulf's heat dome and a polar jet stream have brought fascinating changes to solar outputs in May. Adding to exciting developments, Chinese wafer manufacturer TCL Zhonghuan aims to acquire a majority stake in Maxeon, boosting its financial strength. Lastly, Canadian Solar, a global manufacturer, is challenging the widespread support for tariffs among fellow solar manufacturers.

Curious how the Clean Energy Forecast correlates with wholesale pricing? When it’s over 200, energy costs less than a penny in the wholesale market, and it’s often actually negative! When it’s between 100 and 200, you’re looking at 1-3 cents. Not a huge change, right? But this time of year when the Clean Energy Factor dips to its lowest point each day, electric costs can spike higher. That’s why we focus on offering you clean energy at a discount.

Stout Supply Keeping California Natural Gas Prices Checked During First Test of Summer https://ift.tt/WV9wfT4 Price spikes that plagued natural gas delivered to hubs across California and the Southwest in past summers are unlikely to repeat, even in the face of extreme heat, according to experts. From June through August, weather forecasts show the probability of above-normal temperatures across the West varies, according to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). The outlook showed the highest probability of above-normal temperatures across the Desert Southwest and lower chances of above-normal temperatures in coastal locations, particularly for Southern California. CAISO’s Aditya Jayam Prabhakar, who directs Resource Assessment and Planning, said the analysis shows grid improvement heading into hot weather and “our most challenging time of the year.” [Lower 48 Natural Gas Market Fundamentals: Join NGI’s Patrick Rau, senior vice president of Research & Analysis, for a rundown on the top ten themes during the first quarter and what they mean for natural gas supply and demand in 2024 and beyond. Tune in to NGI’s podcast to learn more.] Prabhakar credited the improved outlook to “significant amounts of new resources added to the grid.” This includes more than 5,400 megawatts (MW) estimated to have been brought online in just the first six months of this year. No natural gas was included in the total. CAISO said the new generation would leave the grid operator with 2,550 MW to spare. For comparison, the 2022 Summer Assessment found the grid 1,700 MW short. A Southern California buyer told NGI that going into this summer, “the picture looks a lot different.” The buyer said, “if you look at previous years and break out electricity power costs,” natural gas storage had been “a big ticket item.” A significant shift in the natural gas supply situation is making the difference this year, the buyer said. “The numbers have flipped so far off from where they were.” Recently, the Southwest, including California, got the first taste of summer heat as temperatures surged into the upper 90s and 100s, propelling cooling demand. However, spot gas prices at hubs across the Golden State moved only marginally higher. NGI’s PG&E Citygate added 26.0 cents to average $2.150/MMBtu on Tuesday (June 5), followed by a 29.0 cent loss a day later. NGI’s SoCal Citygate averaged $1.655 on Tuesday, up 20.0 cents, and added another 7.0 cents midweek to $1.725. SoCal Border Avg. was $1.600 Wednesday, up 3.0 cents on the day, while Malin slid less than 1 cent day/day to $1.520. All traded at a discount to the benchmark Henry Hub, which shed 35.5 cents Wednesday to $2.215, extending losses after a more than 86.0 cent gain Monday. Prices are a far cry from the highs seen in previous summers when heat drove a surge in cooling demand. For example, in 2022 from June 1-Aug. 31, high prices for natural gas at SoCal Citygate averaged $9.222, wit...

Statement from Solar and Storage Industry Regarding Introduction of Fixed Charges on California Electric Bills The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved regulations mandating new monthly fixed charges on electricity bills for residents. Those eligible for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) and Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) programs will face $6 and $12 monthly charges, respectively, while all other customers will pay $24.15 monthly. Stephanie Doyle, California state affairs director for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA),said, “While the final charges are lower than what investor-owned utilities wanted, these are still new costs coming out of the pockets of California families that are already struggling with the high cost of living in […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dyzbs7YZ #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #america #california #northamerica #renewableenergy #renewableenergy #seia #solarenergy #unitedstates

Pretty cool to see that, "between 7 PM and 10 PM on April 30, for example, batteries supplied more than one-fifth of California’s electricity and, for a few minutes, pumped out 7,046 megawatts of electricity, akin to the output from seven large nuclear reactors.” This is markets responding to pricing signals and the benefits from renewables + storage innovation. However, we need to make sure the batteries are decreasing the carbon intensity of the grid, which is where things like emissions tracking and hourly RECs will help. https://lnkd.in/gcdp34m7

I’m going off a little half-cocked here (but CA entrapment in Net Energy Metering is always the quicksand you’re standing on). “The Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA) proposed a new tariff—Net Value Billing Tariff (NVBT)—that takes a page from New York’s value of distributed energy resources (VDER). Proponents of this approach say it’s an accurate economic measure because it considers multiple value streams produced by distributed energy — including costs DERs may avert. In California, for example, the tariff considers such benefits as avoiding the need for transmission lines and reducing environmental harm.” - emphasis - “costs DERs may avert” You can’t “avert” costs that have already been spent … yes you may improve capacity headroom but that is of little value. The only - long term - guaranteed “aversion” is if there was/is complete disconnection. Australia is so much better off as our networks are structurally separated and regulated (by the Australian Energy Regulator).

When is a utility NOT a utility, and how can they affect massive change for EV charging optimization at scale? In California, one of the largest Community Choice Aggregators (#CCA) is MCE which provides retail electricity to nearly 1.5 million residential and business customers in the Bay Area. Our company, ev.energy, provides MCE and its customers with a method to ensure that EV charging happens 1) to avoid stress on the electric grid and 2) when the most abundant renewable energy is available. In the video here, MCE's customers explain in their own words how the ev.energy app allows them to "set it and forget it" to optimize charging to keep electricity bills as low as possible, while keeping their EV charged and ready to go when they need it. We at ev.energy are bringing this forward-looking approach to managed charging not just to utilities around the country and the world, but also to emerging organizations dedicated to clean transportation. #electriccars #electricvehicles #virtualpowerplant #vpp #EVcharging #utilities #tesla #marincounty #loadmanagement #demandresponse

One of the top priorities for all utilities will need to be clearly and effectively communicating all the costs associated with the "energy transition." "Half of the average consumer bill has nothing to do with what fuel is used to generate electricity. It reflects the cost of transmission and distribution. And those costs are rising fast, according to consumer advocates. Utilities are spending heavily to ramp up their transmission infrastructure as electricity demand grows because of the advent of electric vehicles and data centers for artificial intelligence applications. Increasingly, those costs will be passed along to consumers." “I expect it to accelerate,” wrote David Springe, executive director of the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates, in an email to Barron’s. “A lot of spending has yet to hit the consumer bill.” Ten percent rate increases are beginning across the country during a period where natural gas prices are rock bottom and the cost of capital is rising like the sun. Hard to buy the argument that inflation will soon moderate and the Fed will cut rates soon. But if inflation does moderate somewhere down the road, it will not be because of lower electricity prices. There is no kicking this can down the road #communication #utilities #inflation #electricity #costofcapital #interestrates

Don’t be fooled by Big Utilities. Uncontrolled utility spending and a lack of government oversight are why California's electricity costs are so high — not solar users. In fact, we need higher rooftop #solar and battery adoption to get utility spending under control and meet the state’s #climate goals. Watch this video to learn more about their uncontrolled spending and what you can do to stop it and keep California a solar energy leader! https://bit.ly/49BHpRQ

Yet another bad sign in ERCOT (TX) of potential reliability problems ahead. Yesterday evening 4/16 on a beautiful spring day, power prices jumped to over $4,000/MWh on an 80 degree spring day when solar went from a peak of 14,000 MW to 0 MW and wind went from 23,000 MW in the morning to 5,000 MW in the evening with ERCOT asking for conservation of power throughout the day. So what saved the day? Same as usual natural gas and coal generation went from a combined 16,000 MW in the morning to 43,000 MW to offset the collapse of solar and wind. Said another way, solar and wind went from 50% of the generation for much of the day to 10% in just a few hours while natural gas and coal went from 40% early in the day to over 80% to make up the difference. Many continue to advocate adding intermittent solar and wind generation can replace reliable and dispatchable natural gas and coal generation. The grid will get more unreliable and wild price swing will be unacceptable for most customers. We can much better than this for all U.S. citizens and its economy that relies on reliable power in all hours, not just when the wind blows and the sun shines.

California's solar landscape is shifting as incentives from private utilities like PG&E decline, leaving many homeowners questioning the value of solar investments. For years, subsidies and long-term savings made solar panels appealing despite high upfront costs. Now, with reduced incentives, the equation is changing. Paul and Cindy Harman of Auburn, CA, who have relied on solar to cut electricity costs, exemplify the dilemma. Recent cuts by the California Public Utilities Commission mean new solar customers face smaller credits for excess power, reducing financial benefits significantly. Despite these challenges, solar remains a worthwhile investment. However, the payback period has extended from about five years to ten. Solar advocates argue for restoring incentives to sustain California's clean energy leadership and support homeowners in achieving energy independence. #solarenergy #renewableenergy #california #energypolicy #sustainability #cleanenergy #solarindustry #solarpowered #solar
