Sunrun and Orange and Rockland Utilities (O&R) have activated what the companies call New York’s largest residential power plant, using 300 solar + storage systems.
The Sunrun-managed plant was initiated by O&R and approved as a demonstration project by the New York State Public Service Commission. During the year-round program, Sunrun synchronizes the discharging of participating batteries to deliver stored solar power, with the aim of reducing stress on the electric grid during times of peak energy usage. The systems also provide a source of backup power to the homes of participating customers.
Enrolled customers received a free or discounted home battery in exchange for participating in the 10-year program. Sunrun receives an upfront payment from O&R based on the battery capacity installed, allowing Sunrun to offer the battery at a discount to customers.
“This is an important step toward the future of fortifying New York’s energy grid, utilizing innovation to build a more affordable and reliable way to deliver power,” says CEO of Sunrun, Mary Powell.
“We are excited to see residents of New York benefit from the sharing of stored solar power and know this partnership with Orange and Rockland will show the path forward for the rest of the state.”
O&R is a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison.

Maybe turning the White House into an attraction for the country’s least educated people (some say “trailer trash”) isn’t a good idea. It’s often referred to as the most demeaning moment in U.S history.
But let’s be real. Our nation is at its lowest point since its founding. Maybe we can, as a country, use this moment of extreme degradation as alcoholics refer to as “hitting rock bottom.”

I met a fellow earlier today who, with a partner, owns and runs a company that imports a wide variety of goods into the United States from China.
I asked him, naively, how tariffs are affecting him. He said, “Well, until recently, taxes on our goods were 3.5%; now they’re 45%. I pass most of this this on to my (retailer) customer, and he passes it on to you. If you’re wondering why the price of a stick of deodorant has just gone through the roof, you’ve just figured it out.”
In retrospect, I shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place.
I met a gentleman from South Africa yesterday, and I told him that I’m sure he knows that Trevor Noah is a huge thing here in the U.S.
He replied that he doesn’t like Trevor Noah and explained that he doesn’t think politics and comedy should be mixed.
I thought that to be peculiar, as political humor has been a big deal here for centuries, and has grown mightily since the 1970s. Think of Saturday Night Live and all the late-night television hosts that have come along and achieved huge popularity.
More to the point, this is Trevor Noah’s brand. It’s what he does–and sells for a living. It’s like Nike and its swoosh and it’s “Just do it” slogan.
I have a feeling that what he objects to is the mixing of left-wing politics and comedy, because he doesn’t like to see progressive ideas promoted in society.
