Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Approves Emergency Demand Response Program, Offering Lucrative Incentives for Energy Storage Systems

The Hawaii PUC recently approved an Emergency Demand Response Program (EDPR) to swiftly incentivize
energy storage projects to help replace a 180-megawatt (MW) coal plant in Oahu being retired in September 2022. The Aloha state’s EDPR and Scheduled Dispatch Program Rider (SDP) is taking a
proactive approach to help Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) alleviate reduced resources ahead of a coal plant closure that currently provides about 15% of the demand on the island.

WEBINAR: Modeling C&I energy storage with Dynapower & Energy Toolbase

Dynapower is now integrated within the ETB Developer solar and storage modeling platform, which allows users to run energy storage dispatch simulations and savings analysis that are representative of how Dynapower Energy Storage Systems (ESS) controlled by Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ would operate in the field.

Energy Toolbase Integrates Its Acumen EMS™ Controls with Dynapower’s Energy Storage Solutions

Energy Toolbase’s Acumen EMS™ controls software is now integrated with Dynapower’s energy storage solutions. As a part of this integration, Dynapower will be added to Energy Toolbase’s ETB Developer sales and modeling platform which allows users to run energy storage dispatch simulations and savings analysis that are representative of how Dynapower Energy Storage Systems (ESS) controlled by the Energy Toolbase Acumen EMS™ controller would operate in the field.

ETB Ask an Expert: Kelly Speakes-Backman from the Energy Storage Association on Federal Energy Storage Policy Issues including FERC 841, FERC 2222, and ITC

In this “ETB Ask an Expert” interview, we discussed a few key, current federal energy storage policy topics with Kelly Speakes-Backman, the CEO at the Energy Storage Association (ESA). Topics include FERC Order 1841, FERC Order 2222, Energy Storage (ITC) investment tax credit legislation, and ESA’s recently announced 100 GW’s by 2030 vision.
