Smart Electric Power Alliance

As demand for electricity skyrockets and communities strive for cleaner, renewable energy, how do utilities balance these needs?   In the cover story of this month’s Bulletin, learn how Alaska’s Cordova Electric Cooperative and California’s Greensparc Inc. have paired up rural renewable resources with compact data centers. This approach offers many benefits, including increasing efficiency and helping to meet growing data demands in rural communities.   This month’s edition also includes columns from SMUD, City of Healdsburg, and Clallam PUD/Smart Electric Power Alliance.   Read the Bulletin now at https://lnkd.in/gcV7wCGr.   #PublicPower #TradePublication #DataCenter #AI #Hydropower #CustomerService #ClimateStrategy #GIS

📢 Join Our Summer Webinar Series: Voices of Experience on Decarbonization & Grid Planning!

In 2023, we partnered with NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Advancing Community Energy Resilience (RACER) grant. NCCETC and SEPA have been engaging electric utilities and communities across North Carolina to collect data and develop resilience metrics to better capture the value of solar PV and energy storage projects. 💻 Project Highlight: On May 31, 2024, NCCETC and SEPA hosted a roundtable with nine NC electric cooperative and municipal utilities to discuss enhancing resilience in disaster-prone areas. 🗣️ Get Involved! If you are a utility or community member in North Carolina interested in participating, please contact Jared Leader, Isaac Panzarella, and/or Vincent Potter to learn more and get involved! ✔️ Next Steps: Identify community-utility partnership opportunities, share data for resilience metric development, and more! The project aims to establish community resilience metrics and playbooks to support energy and resilience planning in North Carolina. This initiative is a significant step towards building resilient communities in North Carolina. We are excited about the possibilities and look forward to continued collaboration with our partners and stakeholders. Stay tuned for more updates as we work together to create a resilient future! #CleanEnergy #CommunityResilience #REDDICommunities #SolarEnergy #GridResilience
