PG&E is at it again. Californians are stuck with the highest energy costs in the United States - by far. Rates have risen on average +20% in just the last few months! ...
Dixon Ridge Farms, a vertically integrated farming operation that grows, processes and sells organic walnuts was established by the Lester family in 1979. Each year the farm processes annually more than 1.5 million pounds of walnut meats, resulting in more than 2 million pounds of walnut shell. In the past, Dixon Ridge Farms was selling most of the walnut shell to a nearby large commercial ...
The healthcare industry is being called upon to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build more climate resistant infrastructure through the U.S. Office of Climate Change and Health Equity’s (OCCHE) Health Care Sector Pledge. As a result, healthcare facilities will need to incorporate clean energy solutions such as distributed generation to make good on this commitment. With this comes key ...
A couple of years ago we noted here on our blog that "2020 is shaping up to see even MORE disruption in both the energy and water sectors, particularly in California." Boy, was that an understatement... Obviously, nobody could have predicted a global pandemic.

In 1998, a combined heat and power system with a 4.7 MW natural gas-fired turbine was installed to generate energy on-site. This system is now operated continuously and provides most of the facility’s electricity and thermal energy. Using the CHP system along with supplemental electricity ...
What is a Renewable Electricity Standard (RES)? A RES requires that a minimum percentage or amount of electric power generation come from eligible renewable energy sources by a specified date. Retail electric power suppliers (also known as load-serving entities) must purchase power directly from renewable electricity generators, or in some cases, are allowed to purchase renewable energy credits ...
Despite the availability of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technologies and proven benefits and performance of these systems, projects often are not implemented even when investment is compelling. The United States will lead this effort, building on its CHP Partnership Program to identify and clear barriers to efficient design of on-site energy ...
