Amazing and thought provoking article Elisa Wood!! I was so inspired by the discussion we had after my opportunity to address the Energy Changemakers. Now lets pick a number, not a lofty percentage but specifically how many GW we want in each state and what the mix is and then make it happen. Waiting for the utilities and regulators to arrive at consensus will never get us there. We should also pick an impossibly short time horizon. Only big unifying goals that can align an industry will be achieved. As noted architect Daniel Burnham said, “Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized.”        To realize these big plans, we need Unity. We Need a united purpose and a united strong voice. A vibrant voice for distributed energy. A united voice to break down the old barriers and push past the regulated monopolies of the past century. Instead of being reactive and heading to whatever state has the newest and best incentives, we should be proactive. Set the flag in the ground and claim our place in the future of energy. We are the Changemakers. Let’s be the change we seek. In the words of Gandhi, “The future depends on what we do in the present.” 

Great news for the energy sector! The US has seen an 84% year-on-year increase in Q1 energy storage deployments, with California, Texas, and New York leading the charge. This growth underscores the critical role of energy storage in enhancing grid reliability and supporting renewable energy integration. As we continue to tackle supply chain challenges, these advancements highlight a promising future for sustainable energy solutions. #EnergyStorage #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GridReliability #CleanEnergy #California #Texas #NewYork #EnergyInnovation #ClimateAction #GreenEnergy #TechInnovation #SmartGrid #SustainableFuture #EnergyTransition #BatteryStorage #RenewableTech #GreenTechnology #EcoFriendly #EnergyEfficiency https://lnkd.in/e_nP8pEv

Western Australia’s clean energy solutions company Plico has seen its virtual power plant activated twice during recent heatwave warnings for the state, operating to stabilise the South West Interconnected System and prevent blackouts. #Renewables #Australia #Solarenergy

NeoVolta . (NASDAQ: NEOV) has secured a $1.4 million purchase order from National Renewable Energy Partners (NREP), marking a major step in expanding its advanced energy storage solutions. The deal includes the sale of 150 NV14 energy storage units and extends NeoVolta's dealer network into key states such as Ohio, Texas, Connecticut, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. As the demand for grid resilience and local storage solutions grows, NeoVolta is meeting the needs of homeowners transitioning to energy independence. CEO Ardes Johnson highlights this partnership’s role in supporting sustainable solutions, while NREP President Antonio Ranieri underscores the importance of battery storage in achieving energy efficiency. This expansion aligns with NeoVolta's broader strategy of addressing the evolving renewable energy landscape and providing cutting-edge storage systems. #energystorage #renewableenergy #sustainability #solarstorage #gridresilience #neovolta #cleanenergy #energyindependence #solar

As you've recently read "All you've got to do is care enough to profit from the energy transition." Moonshot goals can significantly benefit the clean energy industry by setting ambitious targets that drive innovation, investment, and collaboration. These goals create a shared vision, encouraging stakeholders to work towards common objectives, thus accelerating the development and adoption of clean energy technologies.
