Corporate and residential customers alike are increasingly interested in hourly matched electricity products, which match the amount and timing of renewable and/or clean electricity generation to retail customer load on an hourly basis. But designing hourly clean energy utility products credibly can be complex and daunting. This webinar will introduce Center for Resource Solutions’ (CRS’s) Clean Energy Accounting Project’s (CEAP’s) newest guidance, Hourly Clean Energy Utility Product Designs: Nine Product Model Examples, which helps vertically integrated utilities in the United States design credible, customer-focused hourly clean electricity products. The guidance organizes nine practical product models by complexity, matching approach, and performance risk for the utility, equipping utilities to offer transparent, third-party verified products suited to their local resources and customer needs.
Devon Johnson from Center for Resource Solutions will give an overview of the guidance and how that guidance can be applied in real-world scenarios. Toby Ferenczi of Granular Energy will discuss the CEAP initiative and working group process that shaped this guidance, and how Granular is helping the market navigate hourly matching. Danielle Stein of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) will share a case study on SMUD’s hourly clean energy product journey, including the design choices and the challenges the utility has navigated along the way. Together, speakers will examine the different product types, and why the distinctions among those products matter for utilities and the customers they serve. Participants will leave with a practical understanding of how to design credible hourly clean energy utility products, as well as what to look for when evaluating whether a utility’s hourly offering delivers on what it claims.
