Your ally in energy management

ISO New England (ISO-NE) will host a virtual public webinar to present its recently released report, Economic Planning for the Clean Energy Transition (EPCET). EPCET explored the operational, engineering, and economic challenges the region must address in order to support the New England states’ commitment to significantly reduce carbon emissions over the next several decades. This webinar will provide an overview of the study methodology and results, and is designed for a non-technical audience. There will be an opportunity for questions, as time allows. A recording of the webinar will be posted shortly after the event. Please pre-register here.

This is a free, asynchonous, online course designed to support the accelerated development of equitable community solar. Part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Community Power Accelerator, the course was developed by Housing Sustainability Advisors and the Center for Impact Finance at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey School of Public Policy, in collaboration with nine other expert organizations in the community development field. The course consists of 8 modules of self-paced activities, videos, and learning assessments. This course will deliver practical information to guide community-based, mission-driven, and low-income-focused organizations in how to develop community solar projects that serve low-income communities and further environmental and social justice. It is modeled after the Community Power Accelerator’s instructor-led Learning Lab on the same topic. Interested participants can enroll and begin the course at any time, and complete as few or as many modules as desired. Learn more and register here.

So your landfill is or will soon be closed and capped. How can you turn that brownfield into solar gold? Matt Young from Maine DEP will explain what makes a site suitable for solar conversion and what permitting hurdles you would need to clear. Jesse McKinnell from CEI will share funding resources that can help make it happen. Ted Rioux from Solect Energy will describe the physical process of installation, life cycle, and more.
