 | Grid Edge Newsletter | July 15, 2016 |
| We’ve got a slew of energy storage news to cover in this week’s grid edge roundup, starting with Macquarie Group’s $200 million financing for Advanced Microgrid Solutions -- what may be the single biggest distributed storage financing out there. On the energy storage software front, utility-facing software developer 1Energy was acquired by Doosan, while behind-the-meter battery software maker Geli raised $3 million to bust into Australia’s solar-storage market. Solar inverters are another potential hub for storage and smart home technologies, as SolarEdge detailed at this week’s Intersolar conference. On the commercial energy storage front, GTM Research predicts that the number of states with attractive economics for commercial building storage systems will grow from seven today to 19 by 2021. All this, plus a look at Arizona Public Service’s rate design laboratory, a preview of what the grid edge could look like by 2030, and for GTM Sqaured subscribers, an unpacking of grid regulatory developments in New York and Texas.

However, regulators are increasingly pushing forward market and regulatory reforms in support of these outcomes, which aim to more equitably balance shareholder and customer value. |
