Resilience: The Role of Energy Storage in Meeting Vermont’s Energy Goals
Utility-scale batteries and other long-duration energy storage technology will need to be deployed on a large scale to stabilize Vermont's grid and meet demand when renewables like solar and wind are intermittent. Comprehensive planning with regional grid partners is necessary if all forms of energy storage are to work in concert to meet the needs of the grid.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction: Residential Rate Calculator
Could alternative electricity rates save customers money? This paper used a rate calculator and found that variable rates can in fact lower costs with no change in customer behavior. Utilities could use such a calculator to manage the electrical grid by incentivizing customers to use less or more energy at specific times.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction: Delivering Value to Commercial Customers with Load Shape Segmentation
Advanced meter data and analysis can identify commercial operations with similar energy use patterns, pinpointing untapped savings and finding customers well-suited to efficiency programs—delivering both savings and grid benefits.
Comfortable, Healthy, and Saving Money: Linking Building Occupants’ Health to Energy Efficiency Programs
Healthcare payers, like hospitals and health insurers, could leverage "energy plus health" strategies that realize health benefits from energy efficiency projects. Similarly, government institutions and philanthropic organizations could support vulnerable or marginalized communities and businesses with programs that reduce air pollution, improve indoor air quality, and boost housing safety and affordability through initiatives that consider both energy efficiency and health outcomes.
