Fueling the Cleantech Startup Engine
Kat Friedrich
What insights about the cleantech startup ecosystem can accelerate the clean energy economy? Speakers on a panel at Horizon18 in Boston on Oct. 11, “Game Changers in the Clean Economy Marketplace: Innovative Solutions for the Future,” said that while some dynamic trends are taking place in the market, they recognize the obstacles that slow down new startups and technologies.
Seeking Energy Efficiency’s Hidden Savings
Kat Friedrich
Some marketers view energy efficiency as invisible to United States consumers. Within the industry itself, benefits that are not measured in kWh are often invisible, said Noel Stevens, senior consultant at DNV GL. During a webinar hosted by Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships on Sept. 19, “Quantifying the Value Proposition: Recent Work on Non-Energy Impacts,” he and other speakers showed the selling points of retooling savings estimates.
Blockchain Sparks High-Energy Utility-Industry Discussion
Kat Friedrich
The United States power industry is inquisitively examining the applications of blockchain technology behind closed doors. During a webinar hosted by Advanced Energy Economy on Sept. 26, “Blockchain in Advanced Energy – Applications, Opportunities and Challenges,” participants submitted over 200 questions to the speakers. That shows how compelling blockchain is to utility decision makers right now.

Western Energy Imbalance Market Integrates Solar in Idaho
Nikki Springer
While solar and wind resources are abundant in the western United States, the region faces technical, operational and management challenges in transitioning to cleaner energy portfolios. Integrating renewable energy into existing electric grids continues to be a difficult hurdle for many electricity markets. When utilities face intermittent renewable energy generation, energy imbalance markets (EIMs) have been developed to mitigate the gaps between production and demand.
