Affordability a ‘formidable challenge’ as load shifts to tech, industrial customers: ICF The consulting agency expects electricity prices to rise as much as 25% in some regions through 2030 due to necessary grid expansion, wildfire hardening and other infrastructure projects.

As we enter a challenging new era for the grid, businesses have a choice to make: sit back and hope that these trends reverse, or take proactive steps to lock in their own affordable, resilient energy supplies with distributed energy and microgrid solutions. www.utilitydive.com/news/afforda...

Scale just surpassed $1 billion in project financing raised to date - a major milestone that demonstrates not only the financial strength of our company but the importance of distributed energy solutions for making energy more affordable and more resilient. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Join our unmissable upcoming webinar on the potential of powering datacenters with microgrids, ft @duncamp.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @nanr.bsky.social, and Kyle Baranko! We'll discuss their much buzzed-about research on the topic, its reception, and emerging trends.

Wildfires, Rate Hikes, and the Future of Electricity in California | Scale Microgrids Recent wildfires in California threaten more rate hikes and reliability risks - but solar-plus-storage microgrids offer a cost-saving backup power solution.

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles will likely have long-term impacts on electricity costs and reliability for utility customers throughout California - here's why, and here's what you can do to protect your business. #energysky www.scalemicrogrids.com/blog/wildfir...

The Gallaudet University microgrid is one of Scale’s most ambitious projects, setting a new standard for what’s possible with campus microgrids and showcasing our industry-leading design and engineering capabilities. Learn more about its unique features: www.scalemicrogrids.com/case-studies...

How to Power AI With Solar A new report demonstrates how to power the computing boom with (mostly) clean energy.

ICYMI, @heatmap.news published a great interview with @duncamp.bsky.social and @hausfath.bsky.social discussing their work proving out the extremely real, surprisingly practical, and WILDLY scalable potential for powering AI with massive off-grid solar data centers: heatmap.news/technology/d...

How Firefighters, Animals and Local Organizations are Benefitting from Diesel-Free Microgrids in L.A. Fire Zones In response to the Los Angeles fires, cleantech industry members that generally provide clean energy to the entertainment business have partnered with nonprofits like the Footprint...

Truly awesome to see Footprint Project and Solarpunks (as seen in Rolling Stone!) showing up in a big way with solar-and-battery emergency response microgrids for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. 🙏 www.microgridknowledge.com/community-mi...

Solar Microgrids – or “Hypergrids” – Are America’s Best Bet to Win the AI Race | Scale Microgrids A new white paper co-authored by Scale finds solar-plus-storage microgrids with backup generation are the surest path to winning the AI race.

The stakes of the AI race couldn’t be higher – and a white paper from authors including Scale's @duncamp.bsky.social found that off-grid solar microgrids represent the fastest, most scalable, and surest path for American companies to secure their AI future. www.scalemicrogrids.com/blog/solar-m...

Without enough utility power, California EV truck depots try… Truck charging depots that need more power are installing solar, batteries, and fossil gas generators. Could these types of microgrids serve the grid at…

Great @jeffstjohn.bsky.social read on how microgrids are enabling CA truck fleets to electrify sooner with "bring your own power" (BYOP) solutions in the face of grid constraints - with Scale's @tim-victor.bsky.social on the importance of flexible interconnection: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ev-...

Virtual Power Plants - Pathways to Commercial Liftoff Learn more about the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff Report on Virtual Power Plants

VPPs are a key part of the solution set for “virtually” all of the major issues facing our electricity system today, including resilience - and this new VPP Liftoff report DOE is an indispensable resource on the topic. Awesome, important work by all involved: liftoff.energy.gov/vpp/

EQT to acquire distributed energy company Scale Microgrids · Transaction marks the EQT Transition Infrastructure strategy’s second highly thematic investment

We’re thrilled to announce the beginning of a new era for Scale: we’re bringing in a new equity partner, EQT Group, a purpose-driven global investment company that is squarely aligned with our plans for taking Scale’s growth to the next level. news.cision.com/eqt/r/eqt-to...

Off-grid solar-powered EV charging and data centers - and the @duncamp.bsky.social co-authored white paper (at offgridai.us) - continue to be a hot topic in 2025. '"We are seeing a much larger percentage of customers willing to go off-grid," says Scale's Ryan Goodman.' www.axios.com/pro/climate-...

The rise of AI datacenters risks driving rapid emissions growth if not powered by clean energy. In a new report, we (Scale Microgrids, Paces, and Stripe) provide a detailed analysis of one promising solution: off-grid solar and storage. www.offgridai.us/

Scale Microgrids Secures $150 Million in Tax Equity Financing from Truist Bank Scale Microgrids (“Scale”) has closed a major tax equity transaction with Truist Bank to support the construction of new distributed energy assets acr

DERVOS '24: Load Growth Panel We kicked off DERVOS with a discussion on how we're going to expand the power system for the first time in twenty years.

Turn on, tune in, and DER out to this heavy-hitting panel led by our own @duncamp.bsky.social on one of the most daunting challenges/exciting opportunities facing our industry today: accelerating time-to-power in a new era of load growth. www.dertaskforce.com/p/dervos-24-...

Annual U.S. capital additions by sector (2003-2023)

For 20 years, the cost of producing electricity has been falling, but the cost of transmission and distribution has been going up – especially on the distribution side. Fundamentally, DERs and microgrids will be essential for powering economic growth. #energysky www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...
