Help CALSSA Fight for California’s Clean Energy Future! California is at a critical crossroads in the clean energy movement. The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) is on the front lines fighting to accelerate rooftop solar and battery storage adoption — pushing back against utility-driven policies that threaten progress and slow down the state’s clean energy goals. 🚨 The Challenge: Utilities are advancing agendas that limit rooftop solar growth, raise energy costs, and stifle innovation. CALSSA is battling these efforts through policy advocacy, legislative action, and grassroots mobilization. Why Support CALSSA? ⚡ Policy Defense: We’re fighting for pro-solar policies like NEM 3.0 reforms, pushing back against utility-backed regulations that harm clean energy expansion. 🌞 Energy Freedom: Rooftop solar means more energy independence, cleaner air, and lower energy bills — benefits utilities want to control. 💥 Your Impact: Donations power lobbying efforts, public campaigns, and legal challenges to secure California’s clean energy future. How You Can Help: 💰 Donate Today: Your support strengthens our legal and advocacy campaigns. 📣 Raise Your Voice: Spread the word to grow our movement. 🤝 Join the Cause: Partner with CALSSA to amplify our impact. Together, we can outshine outdated utility models and power California's future with solar and storage! https://lnkd.in/gUyjGWBM #SolarFreedom #EnergyIndependence #CALSSA #CleanEnergyWarriors #SaveSolar #ClimateAction #UtilityReform #SolarAdvocacy #BatteryStorage #CaliforniaRenewables #GreenFuture #FightForSolar #SolarM&A

The Victorian Government's Gas Substitution Roadmap states that the most likely outcome is for Victorian gas consumption to significantly decline to at least 2040. We have an absurd situation in Australia where, on the one hand, we export 70-80% of our gas and, on the other hand, claim we are facing dire gas shortages. Only one of these is true [spoiler alert: It's the first one]. Ultimately Australian residential and industrial gas users are the losers from such a situation. Please consider making a written submission to oppose Viva Energy Australia’s harmful gas import terminal in Corio Bay. Viva Energy is back with their revised plans for their concerning fossil fuel project, with only two weeks to make a submission left, we need your help! Community experts and local advocates have partnered to bring you a webinar at 7.30pm on Tuesday 15 October. We will walk you through the submission process and make it as simple as possible for you to express your concerns. Come along to the webinar and learn how to effectively create a submission to speak out against Viva Energy’s gas import terminal.

As a competitive retailer in Alberta’s deregulated electricity market, we frequently hear concerns about the “failure of deregulation.” Recently, the Alberta Federation of Labour proposed re-regulating the market. We see things differently. Deregulation is the true "Alberta Advantage", and here’s why. The UTILITYnet group of companies has provided fixed prices below the RRO for over 80 consecutive months. Together, our brands have donated over $500,000 to local charities and invested significantly in economic development across the province. Since 2019, our Solar Club™ program has also given back over $20 million in value to micro-generators. These are just a few examples of the lasting benefits Alberta’s market brings to our communities. Read our newest blog for more: https://ow.ly/YkvO50TYtOn

Nick, I couldn't agree with you more! The analysis in the paper you reference is flawed in many respects, such as ignoring the impacts of both provincial and federal government intervention through carbon pricing, mandated emission reductions, and much higher T&D costs for a variety of reasons. But most importantly, I worked in the electric industry when it was operating under a fully regulated cost-of-service model and prices spiraled up due to miss management during the 1980s. The current market design was pushed for by Alberta's large industrial customers due to these high costs and so that they could develop the - then new technology - called cogeneration as a much lower cost option. So no market design is perfect, but the energy-only market design has unleashed a tremendous amount of capital investment over the 28 years, notwithstanding the continuous government interference that has been the cause of almost all unsustainable price peaks and valleys that have occurred! Therefore, government re-regulation IS NOT the answer... getting government out of the business IS the answer. I predict that the current dumpster fire government driven REM process will cause future high prices and poor reliability!!!

🎉 It’s Heat Trust’s ninth birthday! Since our scheme’s launch on 25 November 2015, we’ve grown from protecting 15,000 heat network consumers to 85,000 today. We’re very proud of how our small non-profit organisation has paved the way for future Ofgem regulation of heat networks. We launched two years before the Competition and Markets Authority began its market study of heat networks that resulted in its 2018 call for Ofgem to regulate the sector. We were then, and continue to be, the only consumer-protection scheme for heat networks. Our work has led the way in setting standards of customer care with a proven and scalable assurance framework. Heat Trust registration gives consumers confidence that their heat supplier has not just made a commitment to delivering best-in-class customer service in principle, or on paper, but is independently monitored and held to account against clear standards. Only consumers on Heat Trust registered heat networks are currently able to access the Energy Ombudsman for customer service complaints. Heat Trust’s scheme standards are the foundations on which Ofgem is building its future regulations and we’ll maintain them until equivalent Ofgem protections are both in place and enforced from around 2027. As we enter our tenth year, our priorities remain protecting consumers on our registered heat networks and helping as many heat suppliers as possible get #RegulationReady by registering with us and meeting our standards. Heat Trust registration continues to be a requirement of several government funding schemes for heat networks, including the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) and Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP). #HeatNetworks #ConsumerProtection

Carbon monoxide (CO) can be hard to identify, due to its characteristics, therefore knowing the how to keep yourself safe is vital. This said, we will be attending the 2nd Annual CO Safety Summit, so, save the date July 29 - 31, 2024, in Kansas City, MO. #COSafetySummit #CarbonMonoxideAwareness
