Colorado eases interconnection
In a joint request, SEIA and the Colorado Solar and Storage Association (COSSA) asked the PUC to reevaluate interconnection rules that had resulted in unnecessary confusion for solar + storage customers in Colorado, and the state’s Public Utilities Commission listened. The CPUC’s decisions will help to drive deployment innovation and provide much needed transparency and predictability for customers and solar installers across Colorado.
“The interconnection proceeding lasted over two years and many stakeholders worked hard to modernize Colorado’s electrical grid,”
said Mike Kruger, COSSA’s president and CEO. “We believe that the final result will ensure that customers have a clear path to installing more solar and energy storage, especially if the PUC approves incentives for deployment.”

In 2019, the Redwood Coast Energy Authority adopted a goal to
deliver 100% clean, renewable electricity to all customers by 2025
and for 100% of that power be generated within Humboldt County by
2030. Richard Engel, Director of Power Resources at RCEA, joins Gang
Green to talk about their plans to rapidly increase renewables in
our power portfolio. RCEA recently contracted with a new solar farm
in Kern County to deliver 100MW of power by 2022 and is working on a
residential battery storage program through Swell Energy for local
customers to provide consistent, dispatchable power to the grid. RCEA
is also joining with other community choice energy aggregators in a
Dive Brief:
California s community choice aggregators (CCAs) have sped up the state s progress toward its clean energy goals by opting to purchase more carbon-free electricity than they re required to, a model that could be replicated in other states that are considering allowing the development of CCAs, according to a new report from the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation.
The report found that between 2011 and 2019, CCAs in California purchased 23.5 million MWh of renewable energy in excess of state requirements, more than twice what they were required to buy, lead author Kelly Trumbull, project manager with the Luskin Center, said during a webinar Wednesday.

The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday sided with the soon-to-launch San Diego community energy program in a dispute it had with San Diego Gas & Electric.
San Diego Community Power which will begin to purchase power for customers in San Diego, Chula Vista, La Mesa, Encinitas and Imperial Beach later this year had complained to the commission that data SDG&E intended to use to calculate rates would make the new energy program less attractive to prospective customers.
SDG&E argued it was using numbers it was authorized to employ as part of a general rate case that is still being considered by the commission.
