Customers think about their utility more when the power is off than when it is on. When the lights go out, they’re on their phones, scrambling to know what’s happening. In this narrow window of time, utilities have the best chance to impress or frustrate their customers. Communications are put to the ultimate test when outages occur. That’s why planning
What started as an amazing, real estate-dominant tax break has found its way to the renewable energy investment community. Under tax code Section 1400Z-2, investors can defer capital gains tax on the profits they invest in state-designated opportunity zones (OZ) for eight years, and see some of it forgiven if they hold onto the investments for at least five years,

All renewable energy projects rely on leases, easements and similar land rights that create the relationship between landowners and the developer and operator of projects. This course focuses on typical renewable energy lease provisions in significant detail. From that focal point, we cover the leasing process and the various third parties who are also involved in the owner-developer leasing relationship:
Energy infrastructure projects can be characterized by high perceived risk and low stakeholder trust. A balance must be struck between the need for additional energy development and landowner priorities, environmental impact considerations and regulatory compliance. A comprehensive strategic public engagement process is a key tenet to the success of any energy project. Whether it be electric or gas transmission, battery

For utilities and other power system providers, when they considering grid replacements and upgrades it is increasingly important in their capital and infrastructure financial and operational analyses to evaluate “non-wire alternatives” (NWA). These NWA are electricity grid investments and operating practices that employ non-traditional measures to defer, mitigate, or potentially eliminate the need for traditional utility transmission and distribution (T&D)
The challenges of aging infrastructure have continued for utilities, getting even worse in recent years, putting grid reliability at risk nationwide without major investments in upgrades and reconductoring technologies. Meanwhile, regulatory burdens for new transmission builds have not lightened, paired with the growing trend of corporate commitment to procure renewable energy and DERs. Because of these challenges, utilities have begun
Utilities, retail electricity providers and financial traders — along with business, institutional and other high-volume energy end-users — that transact and trade in electricity and natural gas markets, appreciate the significant effects caused by price volatility in these sectors on their financial statements and reported earnings. To address and minimize their price risk exposure, these organizations typically invoke a variety

The U.S. energy storage market has grown significantly since FERC first authorized non-generator resources to provide ancillary services to the grid. Last year, the commission issued Order 841 that acknowledges the technological advances and recognizes the increased role that energy storage should play in the wholesale power markets. As such, the rules are intended to remove significant regulatory barriers so
Utility energy accounting generally describes the process by which a utility tracks, sorts, records and reports the aggregate volume of internal and external power flows generated and/or distributed by its system(s). Energy accounting data are the root source for settlement with counterparties, markets, client billing, regulatory reporting and financial reporting. They are a driver for 1) tracking commodity exchange, 2)
