Clean Energy Week: Power Up with Our Insights

National Clean Energy Week is more than a recognition of renewable power—it’s a celebration of the innovation reshaping how energy is managed, delivered, and used. From energy efficiency and demand flexibility to solutions like energy storage, smart grids, virtual power plants (VPPs), and distributed energy resources (DERs), the clean energy landscape is evolving faster than ever. These advancements are reducing emissions, strengthening grid resilience, and expanding equitable access to reliable, affordable energy.

Power up your knowledge with our featured blogs and webinars, exploring everything from DERs and electric vehicles (EVs) to community grant programs and other clean energy innovations.

Blog: Fundamentals of Strategic Energy Management

Strategic energy management (SEM) is adapting to today’s challenges—from rising costs to rapid advances in technology—and DERs are central to that evolution. Discover how a holistic SEM approach can harness the full potential of DERs to drive smarter energy use, reduce costs, and build greater resilience for utilities and the communities they serve.

Case study: Improving Resilience with Battery Backup Systems

As Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) partner on the Residential Storage Initiative, we provide home battery systems to customers who face frequent power outages. Through this program, we’re demonstrating how DERs can strengthen grid reliability, increase energy resilience, and give communities more control over their energy.

Case Study: Residential Energy Innovation: Xcel Energy's Battery Connect Pilot

As Xcel Energy’s partner on the Battery Connect Pilot, we explored how solar battery storage can help manage grid demand, reduce peak loads, and prepare for future innovations. The pilot tested strategies such as peak load reduction and solar time shifting, generating insights that are informing the next phase of renewable battery and DER advancements.

Case Study: Using a Precision Approach to Forecasting DER Adoption

We partnered with a California utility to forecast the adoption and impacts of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop solar PV, battery storage, and electric vehicles (EVs). Using our spatially granular dynamic market simulation tool, we provide actionable insights that guide the utility in planning for DER growth, optimizing grid reliability, and making data-driven energy decisions.

National Clean Energy Week reminds us that the future of energy is not just about generation—it’s about how we manage, optimize, and share it. At Resource Innovations, we’re proud to help utilities and communities harness the power of DERs, and advanced grid solutions to create a cleaner, more resilient, and equitable energy future.
