SmartPower COO Serves As “Expert Faculty” at RMI’s e-Lab Accelerator

By

Toni BouchardThis week, SmartPower’s Chief Operating Officer Toni Bouchard has been serving as an “Expert Faculty Member” at the E-Lab Accelerator workshop in Sundance, Utah. As they say, this is a “bootcamp for electricity innovation.” As such Toni has been working with some of the greatest minds in the country trying to work out the details of some of the most innovative projects in energy distribution.

Toni brings SmartPower’s perspective from the front lines — representing the communities, customers and stakeholders we work for across the country in all our energy efficiency and renewable energy work. The group has spent the week focusing on new utility business models, electricity pricing structures, and regulatory reform efforts focused on distributed energy resource; energy innovation districts like demonstration projects, downtown clean energy zones, and other localized projects. And of course, new customer solutions — including customer engagement programs, innovative financing and strategies for low-income populations.

But don’t worry, we’re pretty sure that Toni figured out how to get in a run or two on the slopes.

And to be sure, we’re proud to have SmartPower right there in the front lines working on these solutions.

This past weekend, SmartPower’s President, Brian F. Keane delivered the keynote address to over 300 community energy leaders at the Local Energy Solutions conference in Concord,New Hampshire. Co-hosted by the New Hampshire Local Energy Work Group and the NH Sustainable Energy Association, the annual LES Conference provides critical resources, information, and guidance for individuals, local energy committees & commissions, local governments, school districts, and leaders across the state seeking to implement an energy reduction project in their communities.

Keane’s talk, titled: “50 Shades of Clean” covered a wide array of ways that local communitis can all be part of the energy solution. And each participant walked away with not only a smart approach to moving residents up the “food chain of sustainability,” but also a copy of Keane’s book: “Green Is Good: Save Money, Make Money, and

Solarize South Carolina Launches
Award Winning Solar Program to Accelerate Spread of Solar in South Carolina

March 13, 2015 Charleston, SC: Solarize South Carolina, an innovative program designed to help South Carolinians go solar and save on electricity costs, launched today. With discounted installations provided by high-quality local solar installers, there has never been a better way to go solar. The first Solarize program in South Carolina is now available to residents of Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, North Charleston and James Island, and will be introduced across the state in the coming weeks.

Solarize South Carolina (www.solarizesc.org) is a community initiative designed to assist South Carolinians with the adoption of solar power. Solarize South Carolina is a partnership between SmartPower – a national non-profit, Dividend Solar – a leading national lending partner that offers $0-down loans to customers “going solar” across America, and the two leading solar installers in South Carolina: Mount Pleasant-based Alder Energy Systems and Sunstore Solar Energy Solutions of Greenville.

Solarize is an award winning and proven “group buy” residential solar program that is accelerating the growth of solar in many cities across the U.S. In a Solarize campaign, the more households that participate, the lower the costs go for solar. [Read more…]
