Webinar: Siting solar in distribution grids
The Clean Coalition's Greg Thomson presented at this webinar, which took place on Wednesday, May 13, 2015.
TheClean Coalition, in partnership withFierce Energy, hosted a webinar titledSiting solar in distribution gridsonWednesday,May 13, 2015.
The Clean Coalition works with electric utilities to understand and leverage the deployment of cost-effective distributed solar PV. This webinar detailedour work withSouthern California Edison (SCE) conducting thePreferred Resources Pilot Solar Siting Survey. This assessment identified a massive level of local solar (PV) energy potential within the grid area that comprises the Preferred Resources Pilot (PRP), which is a leading effort by SCE to study and demonstrate high levels of distributed energy resources across a multi-substation grid area.
During this one-hour webinar, the Clean Coalition’s Programs Director Greg Thomsondiscussed:
- Why electric utilities should be assessing the potential for solar PV within their distribution grids
- What is the methodology for conducting aSolar Siting Survey
- How this information is useful for forward-thinking utility planning
