The document summarizes a study analyzing how demand-side management (DSM) programs impact utility revenue requirements compared to traditional power plant capacity additions. The study finds that for a Minnesota utility over 20 years, DSM programs cost $1.14 billion but increased revenue requirements by only 0.24 cents/kWh, while adding natural gas plants would have cost $4.16 billion and increased revenue by 0.66 cents/kWh. Additional scenarios examining coal plant displacement, avoided transmission lines, and measure lifetimes all found DSM programs reduced revenue requirements compared to traditional capacity expansion options. The document concludes DSM programs allow customers to save both on energy used and not used, with systemwide avoided revenue requirements being 3-

WWF-Brazil published a study in 2020 called the "Sustainable Power Agenda" examining Brazil's energy production paths and challenges. In 2005, the government started prioritizing fossil fuel plants like diesel, coal and natural gas, approving 3,286 MW of capacity. This represented a 2.8% increase in Brazil's carbon dioxide emissions and 11% increase for the electric sector. As a result, WWF-Brazil concluded that choices in Brazil's electricity sector over the next 15 years would be critical for energy security, economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

The Government Procurement Service (GPS) has committed to purchase two percent of its electricity demand directly from a new renewable energy generator as part of the Government’s Energy for Growth initiative. This initiative aims to provide long-term price certainty to generators and reduce price risk for GPS customers. GPS, with support from EDF Energy, has created an arrangement allowing the government to work directly with renewable energy generators. The first power purchase agreement under this arrangement was signed with Air Products, providing a long-term fixed price for a £300 million, 50MW advanced gasification waste to energy power plant.

This document proposes incentivizing local renewable energy producers through a blockchain-based local grid system with smart contracts. It assumes consumers are willing to pay more for local renewable energy. Producers would get their usual feed-in payments plus supplemental donations from consumers. A smart contract would distribute donations to producers based on energy provided. A pilot program could have 0.5% of German households donate monthly and 5% of PV plants participate, generating over 26 million euro annually for producers while providing transparency and flexibility. A roadmap outlines planning, building, and operating the local grid system over multiple months.
This document summarizes information from a workshop on solar PV in Bangladesh. It discusses the country's solar industry trends, including projected capacity growth scenarios.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

5. Chart showing the increased cost of retail electricity due to integration of 80% renewables. The
current study’s projection is the gray region that projects a $38 per Megawatt hour increase in
2050. Current national retail cost of electricity is approximately $120 per Megawatt hour.
This projection shows that the cost of integrating 80% renewable energy into the power
grid is quite reasonable (and this is without major decreases in cost such as from improved
photo-voltaic solar panels).
