OhmConnect has announced successful integration of their Market-Aware Behind-the-Meter Battery Storage Pilot Program with SunPower, recently introduced as part of the California Energy Commission’s Demand Side Grid Support Program.

As part of a suite of programs implemented to address the energy shortages caused by heat waves, wildfires and other impacts of climate change, the program offers incentives to electric customers providing backup generation to support the state’s electrical grid during extreme events.

Under the program, SunPower customers who are enrolled in the OhmConnect-powered SunPower virtual power plant are able to earn rewards from their stored solar power when demand for electricity is at its highest.

“By seamlessly integrating into the SunPower platform, we’ve enabled residents to participate in creating a more resilient grid, without lifting a finger,” says Cisco DeVries, OhmConnect CEO. “With OhmConnect’s years of proven success, these results not only showcase its effectiveness, but also anticipate an even more substantial impact as more SunPower customers come on board.”

Since the launch of the pilot program in August, SunPower VPP customers have provided an average of 400 kW of capacity and a total of 1.2 MWh of energy during market-triggered events, with an average participation rate of 94%, says OhmConnect.

Not sure about this.

A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.

This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.

Big Win for Those Incapable of Elementary School Math

The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%.  To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.

Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.

Social Justice and Despotism?

Published

This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.

If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.

What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy?  Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?

I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
