We are very thankful to our talented summer interns for their work with us this summer! Genevieve McQuillan joined our Integrated System Planning group and Anna Clark joined our Climate Pathways and Electrification team, both from our Boston office. Here's what they had to say about their experience.

Projections of data center expansion range widely, from 20,000 megawatts to 100,000 MW of new capacity by 2030. There are plenty of unknowns, which may not get more certain in the near future. But this is no reason to avoid decision-making; proactive grid planning will be crucial to maintain forward progress toward climate goals while maintaining reliability. Read our take on this issue in today's E&E News from Peter Behr, featuring E3's Kush Patel: https://lnkd.in/eyrsAqbn

And that's a wrap on The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)'s Summer Study. Ari Gold-Parker, Jared Landsman, and Molly Bertolacini enjoyed the California coast and meeting with colleagues to discuss all things electrification and energy efficiency. Jared and Ari presented on building electrification, a topic we see as a key issue area for decarbonization in the next decade: Jared focused on National Renewable Energy Laboratory's building stock energy modeling tools, and Ari on targeted decommissioning of gas infrastructure and hybrid heating. They discussed high-impact cases on a wide range of project scales, from neighborhood electrification to municipality long-term planning to state-level initiatives. On the energy efficiency side, Molly presented on the use of authentic storytelling to drive equitable outcomes for affordable housing and efficiency retrofits. Thanks for having us, ACEEE!

The Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings with The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) is underway in Pacific Grove, CA! The theme this year is Equity and Climate Action, and we're excited to have three E3ers presenting on four different papers. Please say hello to Ari Gold-Parker, Molly Bertolacini, and Jared Landsman if you're there too. #ACEEESummerStudy #ACEEE #BuildingDecarbonization

The task of calculating the potential costs and benefits of new transmission vary widely by region, and the method chosen plays an important role in determining which facilities get built. E3 recently supported the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) in developing a congestion cost savings test fit for the ERCOT market. We reviewed the tests used in transmission planning throughout North America, Australia, and Ireland to inform the recommended approach for ERCOT. Here’s what we found: https://lnkd.in/gbPV9MGz

I enjoyed presenting our CAISO storage market views and E3 RESTORE storage revenue forecasting methodology in a recent webinar with Nathan Miller and Kush Patel. It was great to share our findings on such an exciting storage market. We provided a historical revenue comparison of our methodology vs. actuals for a CAISO asset, as well as 4-hour storage projected revenues for snapshot years. Thanks to those who joined our webinar and asked great questions. For those who missed the event, please find a recording and slides below.

System planners, regulators, utilities, and other industry stakeholders are increasingly interested in Integrated *System* Planning (ISP) and how it differs from Integrated *Resource* Planning (IRP). E3 supported Salt River Project in publishing its first-ever ISP, from initial planning four years ago to completion earlier this year. Join us for a joint webinar on Monday at 12pm PT / 3pm ET as we talk through this exciting project: https://lnkd.in/gpnBDFaJ

We were excited to have E3's Zach Ming participate in this great program, meeting and mentoring the next generation of clean energy scholars. Thank you to LevelTen Energy!
Last week LevelTen kicked off the 2024 Energy Scholars program, hosting a group of 16 immensely talented undergraduate students who have an interest in entering the clean energy industry. At LevelTen, they’ll get a deep dive into utility-scale clean energy project development, and learn how corporate sustainability teams use power purchase agreements, granular certificates, and tax credits to reach their goals. Throughout the 8-week program, they’ll also learn from several of our partners and sponsors, and they’ll gain real-world work experience through practical group projects. If you are in the clean energy industry or corporate sustainability, and will have early-career positions open soon, be sure to follow these students; they’ll be equipped with the knowledge they need to dive right in after graduation! Thank you to the sponsors who make this program possible: Clearway Energy Group, Energy GPS LLC, Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc., Google, GridStor, Microsoft, Portland General Electric, SB Energy and University of Washington. Learn more about the program and this year’s Scholars on the LevelTen blog: https://lnkd.in/gVqM4ju2 And stay tuned for spotlights on each of our Scholars! #futureofenergy #renewableenergy #greenjobs

A great third day at the IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting! E3's Zach Ming presented on a panel with Gord Stephen, Aidan Tuohy, Kevin Carden, Durgesh Manjure, and Maren I., discussing how the changes being undertaken in capacity markets can be viewed through a focus on "critical" hours rather than "peak load" hours. Critical hours are going to increasingly define all aspects of resource adequacy, including: 1) setting the total capacity requirement, 2) accrediting the capacity of resources (i.e. their marginal ELCC), and 3) allocating capacity requirements to load-serving entities. In particular, a focus on critical hours is important to ensure appropriate signals are sent to flexible loads to reduce during critical hours, even if it means increasing during peak hours when solar is abundant! These changes are all being implemented by NYISO, PJM, and MISO, and are being explored by ISONE. Looking forward to more fruitful discussions with IEEE Power & Energy Society tomorrow. #ieeepes #ieeepesgm
