Report Highlights Research That Makes California’s Electric Grid More Resilient, Reliable Published: Thursday, 06 May 2021 06:01
EPIC Projects Create Thousands of Jobs, Attract Billions in Private Investment
May 6, 2021 - Sacramento – The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) latest annual report on the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program highlights how public-interest research is helping California meet its goal of decarbonizing the
electrical system by 2045 and supporting technologies that help address the devastating effects of climate change.
EPIC is the state’s premier clean energy research and development program. Each year, more than $130 million in EPIC funding is invested in projects that advance the environmental sustainability, reliability, and affordability of the electric system. From 2012 through 2020, EPIC supported more than 380 projects with $846 million in funding resulting in 3,500 jobs and $3.5 bi

President Joe Biden is expected to release an infrastructure plan this month that sounds ready-made for microgrids. His goal, he said, is to make infrastructure “more climate resilient” to achieve “cheaper and cleaner” transport.
Although microgrids seem like a perfect match for Biden’s plan, it’s uncertain how much they will play into it. Washington is well aware of solar, wind and energy storage, but microgrids, not so much. The technology, as used today, is still relatively new to the game. So microgrids don’t seem to be high on Biden’s radar. At least, he’s not using the term much, so far, when he talks about clean energy.
