William Torre, program director for energy storage at UC-San Diego, Center for Energy Research, describes the updates in an interview with marcus evans. At last year’s edition of this conference, you … [Read more...]
John Dilliott, energy and utilities manager at the University of California, San Diego's, says the university learned its lesson after the 2011 southern California blackouts — and turned to a microgrid for reliability at the research-heavy institution. "The southern California region and especially San Diego is known as an energy cul-de-sac," he … [Read more...]
Is it time to look beyond just emissions from power plants and vehicles and consider embedded carbon in steel, scrap metal, minerals and other building blocks?
If California does not modernize its grid and power delivery infrastructure via sustainable premium power provided by microgrids, the state will be thwarted in its efforts to meet not only its economic and public safety needs, but aggressive carbon reduction and renewable energy goals. Download the new white paper commissioned by Schneider Electric that answers one of the most commonly asked questions: How can today’s governments pay for the vital energy infrastructure upgrades they need? Enter Energy-as-a-Service municipal microgrids.
