SUMMARY:Clean Energy in Rural and Remote Communities
DESCRIPTION:Nearly one in six Americans live in a rural or remote community\, which often have higher energy costs and burden\, less resilient energy systems\, and fewer options for clean energy than their urban counterparts\, due in part to a lack of investment from private companies\, investors\, and the federal government. Small communities do not always have the resources to pursue clean energy options without external funding or technical support. \nJoin this session to explore: \n\nAre rural communities interested in clean energy projects? What are the main concerns?\nWhat are the practical steps for investors\, developers\, and others to best partner and engage with rural communities to ensure projects align with local priorities?\nHow can investors\, developers\, and others support local capacity in rural communities throughout project planning and implementation?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTanya Rucosky\nCommunity Resilience Partnership Coordinator\, Sunrise County Economic Council \n\n\n \nAustin Counts\nSouthwest Virginia Solar & Electrification Projects Manager\, Appalachian Voices \n\n\n \nBryna Lipper\nChief Innovation Officer\, Humboldt Area and Wild Rivers Community Foundation

SUMMARY:One Year of VPPs: How Puerto Rico Can Inform Resilience and Power Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Puerto Rico has pioneered a virtual power plant (VPP) program and has seen immediate results through improved grid reliability and reduced brownouts. Through investments such as DOE’s $3 Billion partial loan guarantee for Project Hestia and the Grid Deployment Office’s $450 million to spread through funding opportunities for residential rooftop solar and battery storage installments\, the mechanisms for growth are in place. In this session\, we will hear lessons learned from those who made this possible: regulators\, utilities\, power aggregators\, and investors. We will explore how Puerto Rico’s experience can inform VPPs everywhere — community-driven solutions that build resilience and provide power to the people who need it most. \nJoin Puerto Rico\, DOE\, and industry leaders in this interactive session to explore: \n\nWhat are the program design\, growth\, sustainability and successes in Puerto Rico?\nWhat have we learned from these VPP deployments and what are the national implications?\nWhat does it look in practice to fund\, finance\, and invest in in Virtual Power Plants?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nElizabeth Wolfe\nSenior Consultant\, Loan Programs Office\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nJeff Wahl\nVice President of Customer Programs\, LUMA Energy \n\n\n \nFausto Hernández\nSenior Manager\, Infrastructure Department\, Financial Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico \n\n\n\n\n \nMeghan Nutting\nExecutive VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs\, Sunnova Energy Corporation \n\n\n \nAllison Archambault\nPresident\, EarthSpark International
