Coalition for Community Solar Access’ Post

Minnesota is leading the charge with an innovative solution to a persistent challenge: grid interconnection disputes. Some key takeaways are: 1) New legislation creates an interconnection ombudsperson role 2) Aims to resolve conflicts between solar developers and utilities 3) Provides guidance for projects up to 10 megawatts 4) Could significantly reduce project delays and streamline processes By centralizing information, advocating for efficient processes, and providing unbiased mediation, this role could be a difference maker in the state. Several states, including California and New York, have implemented similar positions. This growing trend signals a shift towards more collaborative, transparent grid integration practices. *** Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/g_Ne-w5S

Are you considering solar panels for your home? It turns out the amount you save on your energy bill may depend on where you live. - Shirley Wang #BHHS #BHHSRW #BHHSRWTowneRealty #realtor #realestateagent #equalhousingopportinuty

We are proud to support Stanwell Corporation Limited with #FEITH, a landmark Future Energy and Innovation Training Hub to innovate, test, scale and develop #wind, #solar, #hydrogen, and #battery storage technologies, and help facilitate the repurposing of Stanwell’s coal-fired power station in support of the Queensland Government’s Energy and Jobs Plan #QEJP. Unlocking #ESG benefits, FEITH aims to uplift current capabilities and is expected to play a critical role in Stanwell’s long-term energy transition journey towards achieving net-zero emissions targets. GHD’s multidisciplinary teams have worked closely with Stanwell to define the clean energy hub’s vision, masterplan, operational requirements and technology analysis to repurpose existing sites into future clean energy hubs, in alignment with #QEJP and the Queensland Government’s target of 80% renewable energy by 2035. The future in renewable energy has never looked so bright, and we’re excited to be part of this transformational project and commitment to clean energy.

If you ask a local #cleanenergy developer what the biggest barrier to #communitysolardevelopment, they're most likely to say #interconnection. When state interconnection rules are not well designed, community solar projects are particularly susceptible to long delays and high interconnection costs that make projects almost impossible to build, Coalition for Community Solar Access says. We need better state interconnection rules so that we can make community solar more accessible to the 70% of Americans who otherwise couldn't install it where they live or work.

A critical vote is coming on October 12, 2023, and it could change everything about the way solar owners are compensated for the energy they generate. The SolarTech team is concerned about the negative effects this new ruling will have on apartment renters, schools, and other public institutions in California. We encourage all California citizens, legislators, and proponents of solar energy to take action now against VNEM 3.0. See what YOU can do to protect your rights as a solar consumer by reading our blog at https://lnkd.in/gCVxiaxV We will also discuss live on October 5th how VNEM 3.0 will affect you and what action you can take now to participate in affordable solar.
