Stem and Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO), in partnership with Prometheus Power, have deployed a co-located storage and solar project for Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Co-op, an AEPCO member cooperative.

The project includes a 40 MWh energy storage system and an existing 20 MW PV system that is set to integrate Athena, Stem’s AI-driven software, to operate and monitor the storage system on a unified platform.

This is expected to be the first of three similarly sized deployments that Stem will collaborate on with Prometheus to provide services for AEPCO’s other managing co-ops. The three projects are expected to come online by the end of the year.

“More than 900 electric co-ops across 48 states make up the largest electric utility network in the U.S.,” says John Carrington, CEO of Stem.

“The segment is forecasted to be one of the fastest growing segments of the front-of-the-meter market through the end of this decade and is projected to represent over 20% of all future storage deployments. Stem’s unique combination of AI-driven software, hardware and services is enabling enhanced value and project returns at scale for co-ops and their members. We are excited to bring our proven capabilities and market experience to AEPCO and their members.”

What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.

But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.

Does Clean Energy Reduce Your Energy Bills?

Here’s an article that outlines how the EU has lowered energy prices via its investment in renewables.

In truth, the economics of all this is complicated.  In most of the world, there are subsidies for clean energy, just as there are subsidies for Big Oil.  If you want to remove the environmental regulations of coal-fired power plants and let them make fortunes by turning our atmosphere into their own private sewers, you can probably make coal-powered energy very inexpensive.

One thing is clear though, looking through all this complexity: the countries whose people actually care about the future of life on Earth are aggressively decarbonizing their energy and transportation sectors, and there is a great deal to be said for this.

In the United States, we’re rapidly going in the other direction.  Shame on us.

Another Concept in Small Wind

Published

These guys have an innovation in small wind: their turbine “furls up” in dangerously high wind conditions, making it “perfect for your backyard.” Check out this video. The competition has to shut down to avoid having their product destroyed in such circumstances.

Think about this for a second.  How often do you have hurricane-force winds blowing through your backyard?  What if it’s a tornado?  (It’s a twister! It’s a twister!) What would be the cost to you if your mini-turbine actually did have to shut down a few hours each year?

These guys are looking for investors.  If their pitch resonates with you, jump on in, by all means.
