⚡📊 MCE Sync drove a 90% peak EV load reduction among participants and saved them money in the process. Here’s how. As electricity demand continues to climb, the grid in California is under immense strain - especially during hot summer days. As a Community Choice Aggregation, MCE needed a win-win-win solution to serve its customers, fund clean energy initiatives, and reinforce the grid. With the MCE Sync program, powered by ev.energy, MCE can actively manage and shift EV charging demand in real-time to align with low-carbon and renewable sources and incentivize drivers to do their part to reduce local grid constraints. Delve into the strategy behind MCE’s success in active EV demand management here 👉 https://bit.ly/3w9YK6A Melanie Biesecker Kalicia Pivirotto Alice Havenar-Daughton #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #EnergyFlexibility #Utilities #CCAs

What a great story from MCE and ev.energy. It's also a great example of how everyone benefits when we do the right thing for low-income communities.

Following my post about MCE's program from yesterday - here's some more info on the MCE Sync EV charging program and the great impacts we've seen so far ⚡

Top stories today ⚡ Octopus CEO: DFS was best driver of smart meter uptake https://buff.ly/3SfpfQH Consumer appetite to participate in last winter’s Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) significantly drove smart meter uptake among Octopus Energy customers, the company’s chief executive has told Utility Week. Octopus saw almost 700,000 customers take part in its Saving Sessions to help reduce peak demand on the power grid over winter as part of the National Grid ESO’s DFS. During an extended interview at Octopus’ London HQ recently, the supplier’s founder and chief executive Greg Jackson spoke about the impact the company’s participation in the DFS had in regards to its smart meter rollout. 💧 Spending on waterways is ‘skewed’ towards CSOs https://buff.ly/3SeYbAZ Government spending to improve the quality of river water is “skewed” towards tackling issues with combined sewer overflows (CSOs) despite them only accounting for 7% of pollution in waterways, an Environment Agency director has declared. Helen Wakeman, deputy director of water at the Environment Agency, explained that while water and sewerage companies contribute around 36% of pollutants in waterways, CSOs were not the only cause that should be focussed on. Wakeman urged stakeholders to look at the bigger picture of pollution sources when apportioning investment. 🗨️ Strategic energy plan can provide ‘rallying place’ for debate and decisions https://buff.ly/3SeV9wx A Strategic Spatial Energy Plan will provide a “rallying place” for “good decision-making and sensible debate” by industry, the government and regulators, the electricity networks commissioner has argued. Giving evidence to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, Nick Winser CBE FREng said the plan will “narrow down the universe of possible outcomes” and help people to understand the implications of key decisions.

National net zero targets and deadlines may change, but we are very clear about our responsibility to accelerate the all-electric transition and solar revolution. SNRG believes that leadership and innovation are vital to address the very real present day challenges of the climate crisis. We are working with developers, businesses and organisations across the country to help them decarbonise their operations, while providing meaningful cost and energy savings. Our SmartGrid renewable energy solution utilises solar PV panels, battery storage and intelligent optimisation to overcome grid restrictions and allow businesses to go all-electric today, without waiting for costly grid upgrades. Our SmartGrid is fully funded, which removes upfront costs for developers and businesses. Our renewable energy solution also sees at least 15% savings in energy bills at user level, a crucial help for householders, businesses, education establishments and more. Our SmartGrid connects to EV chargers and heat pumps, making these new green technologies cheaper and more accessible. SNRG is a climate leader, and we encourage businesses across the country to join us in facilitating the all-electric transition and solar revolution, to make our country, and the world, a cleaner, greener, better place.

A brief but insightful article describing the value of setting up microgrids that support EV Charging systems. There are many advantages to setting Micro or mini grids such as increased capacity much quicker than waiting for your utility to upgrade your connection which could take several years. Brightmerge and other industry players have also proven that microgrids can reduce carbon emmissions and energy costs more effectively than main grid operators.

Each and every EV driver can do their bit. Whether integrating with a smart tariff such as Intelligent Go from Octopus Energy or +Anytime from OVO, choosing a Time of Use tariff from any supplier or simply setting up a schedule and letting Ohme take care of when to charge. Simple!
