Clean Power Alliance

- Community Benefits Grant Recipients Making a Big Impact on Local Community Sustainability - Investing in local Los Angeles County and Ventura County communities is a key aspect of Clean Power Alliance’s (CPA) mission to strengthen the communities we serve by improving resilience and advancing access to clean energy for all. Providing funding through the annual Community Benefits Grant is one way CPA helps make that happen. In 2023, CPA and Calpine Community Energy provided $275,000 in total grant funding to local nonprofits in CPA’s service area to support clean energy initiatives, green job training, environmental education and stewardship, and energy equity and diversity efforts. CPA and Calpine have partnered on providing the grant funds since 2021. The Oxnard Performing Arts Center (OPAC) was a 2023 grant recipient and utilized the funding to support its year-long solar energy art initiative, which had a significant impact on their operations and programming for the youth and families they serve within the Greater Oxnard region. The $23,900 grant sponsored a week-long summer camp led by local artist and educator A. Tomas Hernandez for their Teen Art Program where 12 at-risk youth were able to explore STEAM from a new perspective - solar energy - by learning how to construct and “artify” their own personal solar panels.

Today in #RenewableEnergy News: How Energy Storage Could Pave the Way for Renewables "It’s like putting money in the bank so you can spend it later. Brian Murray is director of real time operations with the?California Independent System Operator (California ISO), which runs the state’s electricity grid. He said battery storage brings to the grid a crucial element. Energy flexibility. “It’s not like a steam plant that needs ten hours to turn on,” Murray said. “Batteries are essentially always on. They can be discharging and providing energy to the grid or they can be consuming energy while they’re charging.” He said battery storage is already a major player in the state’s energy system that will become even bigger as California aims to create an?emission-free energy supply system?by 2045. New research shows a path to that goal that’s paved with a lot of stored energy." Read the full story here https://lnkd.in/gKUbnQrC #Local #Community #RenewableEnergy

This growth marks a?30% increase?since April 2024, underscoring the state’s swift progress in building out clean energy infrastructure, especially during a summer marked by record-breaking heat. Within the past five years, California has grown its battery storage capacity by more than 15 times, up from just 770 MW in 2019. To put this progress into perspective,?it took the state nearly five years to reach 10,000 MW in early 2024 but just six months to add the most recent 3,000 MW."
