Welcome to a new era of clean energy buying – the WEATS Marketplace from WattCarbon is finally here! ⚡ The only energy certificate market where customers can see the carbon impact of their purchases, tracked to the hour, the Marketplace enables companies to be purposeful with their investments. It’s also the first platform to include distributed energy resources, like rooftop solar, heat pumps, and batteries, which can be deployed with speed and precision, where it matters most. The coolest bit? You’re not just scaling clean energy, you’re also supporting communities by making the health and financial benefits of DERs accessible to everyone. That’s what an equitable, clean energy future looks like. Go check it out! Read our partners’ stories about the impact they’re making in communities nationwide. https://lnkd.in/e4n9ENUb Honored to be supporting incredible clean energy companies that are cutting carbon in their communities, one DER at a time. BlocPower, Branch Energy, C3 Carbon Funding, Elephant Energy, Elexity, FutureFit Partners, Gemini Energy Solutions, Leap, Nimble Energy, QuitCarbon, Solar Holler. #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #REC #EAC #CleanEnergyBuying #LaterIsTooLate #WEATSMarketplace

Today – The OpenEAC Alliance meets-up to advance collaboration and consistency in clean energy measurement and verification, July 18, 9am PST. The update? First methods have been authored. Matthew Lynch and McGee Young will be digging into how methodology certification will work, splitting into small groups to work through a ‘dry run’ to reach resolutions on the new methods. The OpenEAC Alliance is an open, global network of experts collaboratively strengthening energy attribute certificate (EACs) standards and creating industry-wide consistency. The Alliance looks forward to seeing you brilliant M&V folks there! Event details: 📅 Date: July 18, 2024 ⏱ Time: 9am PST 📍 Location: Zoom – register now: https://lnkd.in/eT5ne4k3 #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #energyprofessionals

It's batteries' big moment.🔋💥 Extreme heat and power outage warnings for portions of SE Texas due to Storm Beryl mean it's go-time for WattCarbon's partners like Branch Energy. Branch is bolstering resilience without adding more fossil fuel power plants. It installs battery systems at no cost to the customer, using sophisticated algorithms to determine when to charge the battery (when power is cheap and clean) and discharge (when power is expensive and dirty). For the individual home or business, having a battery can also be a lifesaving change, enabling folks to keep the lights on during storms, even if the grid goes down. ⚡️🌇 Doing so protects lives and helps keep the power on during extreme weather events, providing air-conditioning to cool off from strenuous post-storm cleanups; supplying critical support during crises. ✅ We're proud to be partnering to deploy more investment into battery solutions in Texas with Branch. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/euPeNBjg Stay safe this weekend, folks. #heatwave #extremeweather #batterystorage #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #gridstability #lateristoolate

On average, 30% of energy use in buildings is wasted. That’s why energy efficiency is often called the “first fuel” of climate action, because it can help us cut wasted MWhs down to near zero. We spoke with Kosh Samuel, CEO and President of C3 Carbon Funding LLC, about how energy efficiency can transform America's biggest buildings to reduce pollution on a massive scale. 🙌 🌍 Here’s how he’s teaming up with WattCarbon to put a dollar sign on the environmental benefits of decarbonizing buildings, helping national parks, manufacturing facilities, and schools get energy efficiency projects off the ground.💰🏭🏫 #EnergyEfficiency #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy

Often referred to as the “first frontier” of climate action, #EnergyEfficiency allows the full benefits of renewables to be unleashed. That's because on average, 30% of energy use in buildings is wasted.🪫 But energy efficiency interventions can allow us to immediately improve efficiency and cut those wasted MWhs down to near zero. And when paired with distributed clean energy sources such as solar panels, heat pumps and battery storage, energy efficiency punches above its weight; it can maximize every last drop of sunlight. ☀ 🔋 In conversation with McGee Young, we're excited to announce that Kosh Samuel, CEO and President of C3 Carbon Funding LLC, is joining 'Every Watt-Hour Tells a Story: Live' to share his insights on how to run successful energy efficiency projects for large-scale commercial and public buildings, such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, schools, hospitals and national parks. 🏨 🏢 🏗 You'll learn: ⚡ Where energy efficiency fits within your sustainability plan 💡 Impact stories from EAC investments turning projects into a “yes” ⚡ Overcoming barriers to implementing large-scale energy efficiency projects No matter how clean our grid is, without energy efficiency, we’ve got a leaky bucket. 🪣 Let’s tighten up the net and ensure every watt-hour is being used to its full potential! 👉 Sign up: https://lnkd.in/gF88GNrV 📅 July 11, 2024 🕐 1-1.45pm EST #renewableenergy #energytransition #cleanenergy

West Virginia is one of the US’s biggest energy producers, (fifth, to be exact). So why is it one of the poorest? ♨ 💰 That’s the question Solar Holler CEO and Founder Dan Conant set out to answer over a decade ago installing solar panels at his local Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church. A project that generated so much demand for his solar installations, that demand soon outstripped the number of trained installers in the state. 📈 🤯 His idea? Retraining coal miners as solar miners. ☀ ⛏ Today – additional funding and financing from energy attribute certificates (EACs) enables Solar Holler to think even bigger. With the added revenue from EACs, Solar Holler can lower up front costs for their customers and make project finance affordable and accessible for low-income households in environmental justice communities. 🤝 ⛰ This is exactly what happened at the Wayne County Schools project in the heart of coal country. Across 21 facilities, Solar Holler is setting up 21 solar projects via power purchase agreements, saving schools $6-7 million across the next 25 years in energy costs. 🎒 🏫 👉 Get into how your investment can supercharge solar projects in West Virginia in our latest ‘Every Watt-Hour Tells a Story’: https://lnkd.in/eNg-3ACf #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #CleanEnergy #WestVirginia #EnergyTransition

If our polluted planet is an overflowing bathtub of emissions, swapping gas furnaces for heat pumps is like turning off the tap, while most carbon credit programs are grabbing towels to clean up the mess.🚰 🛁 That's because by investing in distributed clean energy, you not only retire fossil fuel burning equipment, you reduce pollution for the lifetime of the new device (25+ years). 🏭 🎉 When you replace a gas furnace, you are not just committing to an emissions reduction, you are committing to an emissions elimination.🗑️🔥 And just imagine, if you were a clean energy buyer, funding incredible suppliers to do this vital boots-on-the-ground work electrifying multi-family properties, AND you got EACs back in return which you can put towards achieving your climate goals? 🌏🍃🔧 👉 Read more about how we're partnering with David Chanin at FutureFit Partners to accelerate the electrification of multi-family properties: https://lnkd.in/eaGXmF9a #cleanenergy #renewableenergy #buildingelectrifcation #heatpump #lateristoolate
