Webinars

In this upcoming webinar, panelists will compare four models for powering data centers with distributed energy and explain what state policies, such as capacity accreditation, are needed to let them scale as a faster, cheaper alternative to new gas plants.

Join Advanced Energy United for a special post-election briefing on what happened, what it means for the clean energy transition, and where the industry should focus next. In this free event, we’ll examine the outlook on Capitol Hill and select states, what’s possible during the period before newly elected officials take office, and the policy and market opportunities that could accelerate advanced energy deployment. 

Panelists discussed the details of California’s SB 913, what comes next in the process, and how the state can continue to remove barriers to market-based participation so these resources can help bolster the grid long-term.

As U.S. states consider how to incorporate load flexibility, international examples can provide useful resources, experiences, and lessons learned. The CHARGED Initiative – a partnership formed by Advanced Energy United, GridLab, and RMI – studied international approaches to load flexibility to understand how they can be applied to the U.S. context. In this webinar, panelists will share what they have learned from implementing distribution flexibility projects and discuss how efforts in the U.S. can scale to deliver customer benefits.

This webinar explored the policies behind Illinois’ success in passing one of the most significant state energy policy packages in the country: the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability (CRGA) Act. Panelists discussed the key provisions of CRGA, how they will expand markets for certain segments of the advanced energy industry, the strategies that helped move it across the finish line, and how other policymakers can adapt these lessons to advance similar reforms in their own states.

As energy demand and prices continue to put pressure on state budgets and households, state governors are actively looking for immediate, practical solutions to bring down costs. In the third installment of our three-part Energy Affordability series, EnergyHub and Advanced Energy United staff explored how state leaders are increasingly turning to advanced energy to address affordability challenges, and how that growing focus is shaping the policy environment for advanced energy businesses ahead of this fall’s gubernatorial elections. 

Energy affordability is top of mind for families and businesses across the country. With energy bills rising and the demand for electricity expected to grow at an unprecedented pace, utilities and the advanced energy industry can partner to stabilize energy bills and ensure our power grid has the electricity needed to create continued economic growth. In the second webinar of our three-part Energy Affordability webinar series, Advanced Energy United explored how advanced energy companies are working collaboratively with utilities to manage rising energy costs.

All eyes are on the grid operator PJM Interconnection as it readies an ambitious plan to avert a reliability crisis and maintain affordability in the face of unprecedented demand growth. In this webinar, industry experts assessed whether PJM’s proposals will meet the moment, discussing what’s at stake and what steps are needed to ensure businesses can manage the changes. Preceding the roundtable was a presentation from Synapse Energy Economics about a recent analysis that lays out what resource mix would provide the most reliability and affordability benefits for PJM customers.
