On episode 117 of the Squeaky Clean Energy Podcast, Zoe Gamble from CleanChoice Energy joins to talk about retail choice electricity markets across the country. We cover how these markets operate and how customers are electing more and more to consumer electricity from clean resources. Tune in to hear about how retail choice is helping to drive down utility rates, while accelerating decarbonization. Presented by NC Sustainable Energy Association. Hosted and produced by Matt Abele (Twitter: @MattAbele) Be sure to follow us on Instagram at @squeakycleanpodcast.

CleanChoice is a retail power provider and solar project developer and owner. Combined into one, they aim to be a 100% renewable gentailer. Zoe has experience developing and selling hundreds of megawatts of solar as the former CEO of Pine Gate Renewables and General Counsel at FLS Energy. In this episode, you'll learn these four important takeaways and much more. How they plan to build 1 GW of solar to meet their customers' demands What hedging efficacy means in deregulated power markets Where concentration risk shows up and how they manage it Why reading fiction at 5:00 am helps her start the day right Plus, you'll feel extra cool listening to this one because of his French accent!

Many of us working in clean energy forget that access to clean power is still a privilege, not a right. Millions of Americans still don't have the freedom to choose clean energy. People all over the country want to fight climate change by choosing renewable energy sources for their homes and businesses. But, in monopolized electricity markets, consumers are forced to purchase power from the only available utility (like Duke Energy here in my home state of NC).CleanChoice Energy is fighting to address this limitation. As you'll hear from Zoë Gamble Hanes, President of CleanChoice, their platform enables residential customers in deregulated Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to choose clean energy. And their the first in the nation to offer 100% green energy direct-to-consumer, or farm-to-table as one press release recently put it. That is to say, they own both the generation side (with solar and wind farms) and the retail side (consumer choice contracts in deregulated markets), thus “gen-tailer”. Expect to learn:How CleanChoice Energy distributes power to offer residential customers in deregulated markets a cleaner choice. Why True Green Capital Management acquired a majority stake in the company.Zoë's Pioneering role in kickstarting the NC solar [tax credit] market and her subsequent milestones with FLS Energy and Pine Gate Renewables.How hiring diverse leadership is helping CleanChoice solve complex energy sector problems.The importance of balancing professional drive and personal well-being as a leader.Passionate about clean energy access?

In this episode of Beyond the Meter, host John Failla is joined by Terri Dalmer, Vice President of Solar Business Development at CleanChoice Energy, and Owen Grant, Business Development Manager at Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions. They discuss the broad impact community solar can have on businesses and diverse communities nationwide. You won't want to miss the insights and reflections they have to share from their over 30 years of experience. This episode is made in partnership with Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Growth of community solar [03:52] Massachusetts' Rowtier project [08:27] Duke Energy and CleanChoice [11:28] Requirements unique to Massachusetts [13:29] What involved Duke Energy in solar? [15:35] The benefits of community solar projects [19:25] The future of community solar [24:23] What is community solar? Community solar consists of facilities that produce less than five megawatts of electrical capacity. It allows residents, small businesses, and other organizations, such as municipalities, to receive credit on their electricity bills for the power produced by these solar arrays. It differs from residential solar in that it is an off-site project with no financial investment from a consumer and serves multiple levels of subscriber offtake.  The impressive growth of solar is due to the diligent policy work at the state level, where legislation is being supported to expand the renewable market. The dynamics of state programs are a significant influence on solar's success. Currently, about 19 states and DC have a wide variety of programs. Some of the newest markets coming on board currently are Virginia, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. Solar is a dynamic and growing market that offers a lot of opportunities. Community solar projects in Massachusetts Massachusetts provides an excellent opportunity to work on ground-mount, front-of-meter projects. A nice feature of the Massachusetts program is that these projects can be operated either as community solar or by directly selling electricity to utility companies. Duke Energy found this quite an attractive project, deciding that the community solar route made more sense financially. That's how Duke came to work with CleanChoice as a subscription management company to bring in small customers. Duke Energy and CleanChoice Duke Energy is a best-in- class company, so they needed a best-in-class collaborator to help with their community solar pilot project. They've been pleased with the relationship with CleanChoice and their ability to help Duke Energy navigate the ins and outs of the community solar program's SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) element as well as the utility coordination. Together they've created a model project that other companies should consider. One of the values of Duke Energy is serving its communities. With community solar, the benefits are kept local. It's an opportunity for both the small and large customers in a community to participate in the project. Having a large anchor tenant allows the project to open up to customers that might not otherwise be qualified to participate in a solar project. The local element of these projects provides a kind of equity of access to renewables as part of the energy transition.

In this episode we look at the energy transition from the perspective of one of its key players—the Consumer Advocate. My guest is Elin Katz, Connecticut's Consumer Counsel and the current president of NASUCA, the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates. We first explore broadly what the consumer's interest is; then we look at energy storage and electric vehicles; and we close by contemplating the convergence of utilities such as electricity and telecom, and how the focus of the Advocate may continue to evolve in the future.

Live from MDV-SEIA's Solar Focus Conference in Washington DC, I speak with Tom Matzzie, CEO of CleanChoice Energy. CleanChoice is a retail energy retailer that sells clean energy to homeowners and businesses across 9 states. As a market participant, CleanChoice can create the products that can revolutionize solar development across markets, even outside of community solar regulations. CleanChoice is the largest developer of community solar in Maryland and working on a project in Brooklyn. Tom is a politics veteran that once live tweeted a retired CIA director's conversation with a reporter while on a train. This is a great conversation for anyone that works in solar because you need to know more about power markets than you do now.
