| | | | Don't let your renewable assets get bogged down by the limitations of outdated technology and years of wear and tear. Retrofitting legacy turbine controls with modern control software and technologies can greatly increase output at a unit, facility and across an entire fleet. Wind turbine retrofits prolong lifespan, drive greater performance, and increase the value of existing assets. Transform existing wind assets to increase operational excellence and gain full access to critical unit data. | | |

|
| | | The latest data in the EIA's report shows Californians are increasingly pairing new solar systems with battery storage. | | |
|
|
|
|
| | | Gemini's 1.8 million solar panels can generate up to 690 MW, and the arrays are co-located with 380 MW of 4-hour battery storage. | | |

| UPCOMING EVENTS  Registration is live! We are headed to Newport, Rhode Island, USA from October 28-30, 2024. New England has set ambitious clean energy goals and is well on its way to weaning off fossil fuels, but major obstacles remain along the path to 100% renewable energy, including the intermittent nature of wind and solar, lack of land for large utility-scale projects, and increasingly harsh weather. |
 Ready to join the fun? Fill out this form to get the scoop on when registration goes live and stay in the loop for DISTRIBUTECH International 2025! |
 Episode 79 of the Factor This! podcast features Michael Smith, CEO of the leading C&I virtual power plant provider CPower, who breaks down the technology behind VPPs, where the industry stands today, and the critical markets no one is looking at. |
