Greg Thomson, Programs Director at the Clean Coalition, moderated the “Smart Grid and Renewable Integration” panel at The Business of Local Energy Symposium, which took place in Petaluma, CA on October 23 from 9am-4:30pm.

Numerous challenges must be met for a renewable distributed generation energy system to function smoothly at scale. The symposium will bring together leaders in California’s local energy movement. Those involved with public and private utilities and Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) will cross-pollinate with energy entrepreneurs working on micro-grid, storage, energy efficiency, automated demand response, and cutting edge renewable energy technologies. Participants will explore the creation of a cost-effective path toward a renewable energy future. The symposium will feature community choice energy programs and the market they are helping shape as a prominent part of the path forward.
