Community Solar on the Rise

We’ve been making some headlines lately for our push into community solar – an area NRG is moving into quickly. Why community solar?
“From a customer’s perspective, community solar is a home run: companies can stabilize energy costs while helping create a cleaner local power grid,” says Miro Sutton, NRG Business Solutions. “They can essentially offset a large portion of their electricity without any physical changes to their site. It’s clean, simple and financially prudent.”

Across the U.S., smart city programs are moving beyond press releases, pilot programs and demonstrations. Municipalities are collaborating with industry and utilities to create roadmaps defining their approach to regional integrated smart infrastructure. Water utilities, however, are lagging in the planning process, and risk losing their seat at the table with electric and gas utility peer companies as the smart city programs advance.

The “F” Words: Talking Fossil Fuel with Daniel Dicker

Fossil fuel is sort of a dirty word in environmental circles, but it still comprises over 80% of the world’s energy consumption.
