💡ICYMI: pv magazine USA highlights a recent Distribution System Operator (DSO) study webinar hosted by the Maine Governor's Energy Office featuring Strategen.   Strategen is thrilled to lead the first phase of Maine’s DSO feasibility study! Our team, featuring Strategen Advisors Matthew McDonnell, Lorenzo Kristov, and Mark Paterson, will kickstart the initial phase of a comprehensive two-part study assessing the potential benefits of a DSO to promote distributed #energy resources, lower energy costs, improve grid reliability, and the state’s overall #CleanEnergy goals.   Maine aims to establish what would be North America’s first DSO, an independent entity operating outside the traditional utility framework that oversees crucial energy functions, such as system planning and establishing a DER marketplace. Partnering with Maine marks a significant achievement, as this project may have a significant impact on the future of energy management in Maine and beyond.    👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gDddBrd4   #sustainability #decarbonization

🤖Although AI tools can potentially enhance energy efficiency in the long term, the rapid growth in data centers and AI-related electricity demand could strain U.S. grid reliability and slow the #EnergyTransition, according to a report by The Conference Board. ⚡Near-term projections suggest a doubling of electricity demand from data centers over the next decade. Utilities that can’t readily procure additional #renewable power or quickly deploy renewable generation risk losing high-load customers with ambitious net-zero targets, such as tech companies and data centers, the report warns. How can utilities safeguard climate goals? ➡️Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gfj7x6JA

The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy highlights the importance of "A Roadmap for Industrial Decarbonization in Pennsylvania,” a Strategen report prepared for Ohio River Valley Institute, which offers the first Pennsylvania-specific decarbonization plan to achieve significant emissions reductions as soon as 2030. The report reveals how five critical #decarbonization levers could decrease emissions by 21% by 2030 and 84% by 2050, with an estimated investment of $30-35 billion. Additionally, the report emphasizes how industrial decarbonization creates #jobs, improves #PublicHealth, and increases competitiveness for Pennsylvania industries. 📄Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gAwacPvX  📈 Download the report: https://lnkd.in/e7wNHSdD     #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition

🌎The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced its first-ever Transmission Interconnection Roadmap, which targets the backlog of 12,000 #CleanEnergy projects awaiting grid connection. Developed through stakeholder engagement, the roadmap outlines solutions focused on data transparency, fairer processes, and grid reliability, with aggressive targets including shorter interconnection times and increased completion rates. These efforts align with the Biden-Harris Administration's objective of achieving 100% clean #electricity by 2035. ⚡Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gVHEY6Rh #EnergyTransition #sustainability #decarbonization
