Local Solar for All

Michigan is sick of power outages, and they need solutions NOW! Our new #MIEnergyFuture report shows how #MILeg can put people-focused energy strategies into action by passing #MIPowerforAll legislation to keep lights on and energy bills down. https://lnkd.in/gBa__ed9 ☀️

Aiming for a 95% emission reduction by 2050, the Local Solar Roadmap put forth an ambitious vision in 2020. We know now that we can be more aggressive thanks to policies like the Inflation Reduction Act. On the Roadmap’s third anniversary, discover our commitment to a cleaner, greener world and what it will take to get there. ☀️🌿 #EmissionReduction #SolarInnovation 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ep8bXDG

Local solar and storage, especially when they are virtual power plants, are essential to keeping our electric grid stable and affordable. We can’t win on climate change without it! In 2020, we showed how we can create $473 billion in savings. That’s only the start of how VPPs and local solar will benefit families, communities, and our national economy. ☀️ #SustainableFuture #SolarStorage #VirtualPowerPlants 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ep8bXDG

Three years ago, the Local Solar Roadmap presented an ambitious future where rapid deployment of local solar storage could create the lowest cost, cleanest future grid. What we were really saying was, #virtualpowerplants like local solar and storage are essential to our clean energy transition. We’re so glad to see some “successor” reports come out since our Roadmap, like the Department of Energy’s Virtual Power Plant Commercial Liftoff report. Check out how local solar and VPPs are our future. ▶︎ https://lnkd.in/gQ3pcfee

As we celebrate three years of the Local Solar Roadmap, let's look at one of its key findings: Integrating 247 GW of rooftop solar can reduce grid costs by $120 billion! This anniversary marks a pivotal moment in our journey towards a sustainable and affordable energy future. Join us in exploring the impact of solar innovation. 🌞🌱 🔗 https://lnkd.in/emfcVBs #cleanenergy #solar #batterystorage

We’re celebrating 3 years of the Local Solar Roadmap this week! Using a Vibrant Clean Energy, LLC tool to calculate the future impact of expanding distributed solar, the Roadmap found that deploying more local #solar storage can get us the cleanest, lowest-cost grid. ☀️273 GW of local solar = 💰$473 billion savings over 2 million jobs. Learn more about the ideal #cleanenergy future that leverages solar power. ▶ https://lnkd.in/emfcVBs

As #COP28 is about to kick off, let's remember how we can speed up our clean energy transition: #electrifyeverything and make sure that local solar and virtual power plants are part of the strategy. #VPP ☀️
