In this week's episode of Renewable Rides we explore the energy transition from the eyes of Georgia utility commissioner, Tim Echols. We talk about the transformative shift happening in the state energy landscape. At the heart of this transformation is the Georgia Public Service Commission, which has been instrumental in guiding the state's energy policies and infrastructure developments to meet the needs of a growing population, manufacturing companies, and data centers. We hope you'll listen to this upbeat and in-depth conversation: https://lnkd.in/e8eqnqKC #energytransition #netzerocompany #sustainablebusiness #energy #RenewableRides

Transcript

Given the massive delta between where we are today and where we need to be over the next six years between now and 2029, can you talk a little bit about net metering rules? Are those favorable today? How do you see those changing, if at all, over the next couple of years to to help with this fill that delta? You know, traditionally, and this was was an act of Congress allowing qualified qualifying facilities that were like International Paper that wound up generating excess power. Utility has to take it. There was a day that the utility didn't have to take it. They just say, no, we don't need it. Curtail but Georgia Power would have to take the power now and they are only obligated to pay them essentially a wholesale, a wholesale amount or avoided cost. You know, we have added four cent on solar. If you are you know in the solar program you get that wholesale cost plus a four cent adder.

Renewable energy adoption risks include intermittency issues, requiring improved energy storage solutions and grid integration. Economic factors, such as initial costs, are also significant. However, a crucial risk lies in government policies and regulations, which can either support or hinder renewable energy growth. The uncertainty in these policies presents a substantial obstacle to widespread adoption. 🎧 Tune in to this episode to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eGFuWeSY #RenewableEnergy #BatteryStorage #Sustainability #EcoFriendlyInvestments #CleanEnergyRevolution #CleanEnergyFinance #BenGuest #SRI360

It's National Renewable Energy Day! Transitioning Wisconsin's electrical grid to one powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar by 2050 would mean cost savings for energy customers, thousands of new jobs around the state, and fewer health risks from air pollution. We've made a lot of progress in the past few years, but there's still plenty of work to do! Visit cleanwisconsin.org to learn more about what it'll take to secure the #CleanEnergyFuture we need. #CleanWisconsin #RenewableEnergy #ActOnClimate

California's SB 1374 is a new bill that allows schools, farms, and other properties with multiple electric meters to fully utilize their self-generated solar energy. It ensures these entities can offset their energy usage across all meters, making solar energy more cost-effective and supporting California's clean energy goals. This bill removes barriers, promoting wider adoption of renewable energy in multi-meter properties. #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CaliforniaLegislation

Senior Vice President of External Affairs Sarah Webster will moderate a panel discussing expanding and optimizing the energy grid at the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) Policy Forum in Washington D.C. Expanding and upgrading transmission capacity is necessary to accommodate the integration of renewable energy and storage resources spurred by public investment and private demand. This panel will discuss solutions for building this much-needed infrastructure, including improvements to regional and interregional transmission planning, greater use of grid-enhancing technologies and advanced conductoring, reforms to permitting processes, and more. https://lnkd.in/eBtzRsjq #PatternEnergy #PatternPeople #ACOREPolicyForum #Sustainability #Transmission #RenewableEnergy #RenewablePower #CleanEnergy #CleanPower
