Gaining Maryland Public Service Commission approval in March of 2022, the SMECO FlexTemp Pilot moved quickly to stand up a flexible load management program directly associated with the management of smart thermostats, during both the cooling and heating seasons. The approach taken for the program was presented during PLMA's Spring 2022 Conference and was titled “Revenue and Emission Benefits of Managing Thermostats on a Sub-hourly Basis”.The FlexTemp Pilot builds on SMECO's innovative approach to utilizing smart thermostats, dating back to 2015, as one of the first utilities to provide incentives to customers for the installation of smart thermostats.The FlexTemp Pilot achieved considerable success in 2022 and proves it's possible to manage behind-the-meter assets as grid resources, and that devices can also support decarbonization goals and plans. Additional impacts include:The ability to group cohort members and schedule dispatches on a day-ahead basis.Development of procedures to group cohort members and schedule dispatches on a real-time basisLearning customer behavior, which allows for seasonality of customer cohorting.Optimization of members enrolled to dispatch events to achieve firm service levels.Optimization of members enrolled to dispatch events to achieve guaranteed load drop.Events called based on optimization of energy savingsEvents called based on optimization of capacity savingsEvents called based on optimization of GHG emission reductionAbility to dispatch on a real-time basis instead of day ahead basisMembers enrolled = 250+ with the expectation of exceeding 1,000+ by May 2023.Reduced member opt-out rate in comparison with traditional DR programs (~1.5% as compared to ~25%)kW/member saved on average per event: 1 kW

This week's Open Mic guest is Jim Matheson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. After an extended tenure of serving his constituents in Utah in the U.S. House of Representatives, Matheson assumed the reins of the NRECA in 2016. Rural residents formed their own electric cooperatives in the 1930's to bring electric service to their homes and communities. Today, those same member owned organizations serve over half of the land mass in the nation and more than 42-million customers. Matheson speaks to the challenges of meeting growing demand for electric power including electric generation and transmission. He is in favor of renewable energy sources but says the nation needs reliable power generation in the face of growing demand from industry, homes and an influx of electric vehicles. Matheson says the digital divide is real in rural America and the NRECA is working to close the digital gap for the sake of health care, education, precision agriculture and rural development.

The Rayney catalyst causes the atomic hydrogen to drop to a lower energy level forming a hydrino. The net energy released my be 100 times the energy of fossil fuel. Water as fuel. The technology is being applied to heating and electricity production. In Dec 2008, Black light power licensed Estacado too produce gross thermal power up to a maximum continuous capacity of 250 MW or convert this thermal power to corresponding electricity Jan 2009, Black light power licensed Electric Cooperative, Inc. of New Mexico, to use Blacklight power for the production of thermal or electric power up to a maximum continuous capacity of 250 MW or convert this termal power to corresponding electricity Blacklight power completed a “successful independent replication and validation of its 1,000 watt and 50,000 watt reactors based on its proprietary new clean energy technology.” On October 20, 2008, BLPI made a statement that Peter Jansson of Rowan University had completed a three month test of their reactors and validated excess heat production. (Reference Link) August 12, 2009: BLP press release through Hill & Knowlton claims that researchers at Rowan University reproduced BlackLight process, using their own materials. Results were claimed to show 1.2 times to 6.5 times the energy released than can be attributed by known chemical reactions Dr Rand Mill says, "The BlackLight Process generates more than 200 times the energy of burning hydrogen that can be harnessed to replace the thermal power in coal, oil, gas and nuclear power plants. These experimental results prove that the new power source discovered in our labs has the possibility to make a profound impact in our current energy-strapped economy" Quote BlackLight intends to rely on existing technologies to convert thermal power to electric power. As BlackLight devices generate surface heat at grades comparable to existing commercial fire boxes in natural gas and coal-fired plants, existing heat-to-electric technologies such as gas turbine, micro-turbine and Sterling engines can be melded with BlackLight power cells to generate electricity, as well as space and process heat. end Quote BlackLight Power Fact: 1. Dr. Randall Mills, Blacklight catalyst causes hydrogen to take on a fractional quantum state far small than ground state, less than Bohr's radius. The catalyst is called Rayney forming a Casmir geometry. The hydrinos produce 200 times more energy from the fractional quantum state. 2. Jon Naudts proposed hydrogen atoms inside a Casmir cavity could appear to have fractional states. Naudts said the relativistic state could appear fractional. The Casmir cavity is where local vacuum fluctuations are depleted. 3. In 2007, Ron Bourgoin published an article, “Inverse Quantum Mechanics of the Hydrogen Atom” showing the general wave equation (QED) predicts exactly the 137 fractional states claimed by Dr. Randall Mills 4. Classical quantum mechanics states hydrogen in a free space exits at the minimal ground state. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-nishimoto/message

We are powered up for a Special Edition COBT with our good friend, David Tudor. David is the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Associated Electric Cooperative Incorporated (AECI), a member-owned electric co-op serving two million customers in Missouri, Iowa and Oklahoma. David joined AECI in 2016 and has previously held positions at Champion Energy Services (CEO), ACES Power Marketing (CEO), and PG&E Energy Trading in his extensive energy career. It was a timely discussion given the recent blackout challenges Texas and other states are facing with summer weather heating up. AECI recently held their Annual Meeting with key themes including reliability, regulatory developments, and natural gas. The conference brought together over 750 people representing co-ops, utilities, banks, and power companies. Colin Fenton and I had the opportunity to speak about the increasing importance of natural gas domestically and globally and really enjoyed the conference and group of attendees. In our COBT discussion with David, we cover how AECI is uniquely positioned to focus on reliability, the co-op structure and what differentiates it from other models, AECI's portfolio of energy sources, current supply-chain issues with the US railroad system, the potential for new technology that is both reliable and less land intensive than solar, the future of AECI, federal involvement generally, and the challenging summer ahead for both electricity providers and customers. Thank you to David for joining and providing some fantastic insights! We had a quick upfront discussion: Mike Bradley had two key points about the markets and the junk bond market. Colin Fenton noted WTI is now trading at a price premium to Brent and prepped us for our conversation with a few thoughts on reliability and summer price spikes.

In this episode of CFC Solutions Cast, we chat with Roanoke Electric Cooperative CEO Marshall Cherry and Cobb Electric Membership Corporation Vice President of Power Supply, Rates and DER Strategy Tim Jarrell as they discuss their rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charging programs, member adoption and how member feedback is driving improvements. Roanoke, based in northeast North Carolina, has the lowest population density in the state and recently implemented a strategic vision, called Vision 2025, to drive the cooperative to implement services that are more efficient for its member-owners.Cobb, based in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, is the polar opposite of Roanoke—very dense and urban—but has similar goals of ensuring its products and services satisfy member needs. While both systems took different approaches to meet member EV charging requirements, the cooperatives are focused on providing charging solutions that are a win-win for members to save money and ensure EVs are plugged in during off-peak times.  Listen to the Solutions Cast to find out what Cobb and Roanoke have in store for the future as member EV adoption increases in both urban and rural areas. Learn More About Cobb and Roanoke Rate Design Studies and New Program Offerings See “CFC Helps Cobb EMC Offer Multiple Rate Options to Members,” Solutions News Bulletin, Jan. 11, 2021, to learn more about the rate design study that helped develop Cobb's time-of-use rate program. See “CFC Helps Roanoke EC Launch New EV Subscription Rate Program,” Solutions News Bulletin, March 8, 2021, to learn more about the rate design study that helped develop Roanoke's EV subscription rate program.

On this episode of the Building Local Power podcast, ILSR Co-Director John Farrell speaks with Luis Reyes, General Manager of the Kit Carson Electric Cooperative in New Mexico. John and Luis discuss the many benefits of distributing solar power through the community and Kit Carson's plan to provide members 100% of their daytime electricity from local solar projects. Highlights include: How rural electric co-ops are adapting to new challenges and expectations after serving rural areas for more than 100 years. Why, due to contracts with coal plants, Generation and Transmission cooperatives (G&Ts) often hold back distribution cooperatives like Kit Carson from generating much of their energy locally. How Kit Carson connects members to high quality Internet access — and how they rose to the challenge of distance learning by connecting schools and Internet hotspots at no cost. How co-op members are shaping future renewable energy projects.   “I continue to see the co-ops in the forefront of this new energy world we're facing, and we're probably the best equipped to address it. I think that's positive for the co-op nation.” “We have to get out of these scare tactics and, and say, the sun doesn't shine at night, so let's put some batteries. Or let's get wind that follows that nighttime profile. And instead of us as co-ops and utilities making excuses why we can't, we should figure how we can.”   Related Resources Read ILSR's updated report on How Cooperatives Are Bridging the Digital Divide.

Transcript Jess Del Fiacco: Hello, and welcome to Building Local Power, a podcast dedicated to thought provoking conversations about how we can challenge corporate monopolies and expand the power of people to shape their own future. I'm Jess Del Fiacco, the Host of Building Local Power and Communications Manager here the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. For more than 45 years, ILSR has worked to build thriving, equitable communities where power, wealth, and accountability remain in local hands. Jess Del Fiacco: Today you're going to hear from ILSR Co-director, John Farrell, who is joined by Luis Reyes, who is the general manager of Kit Carson Electric Cooperative in New Mexico. Starting in 2022, Taos, New Mexico and surrounding communities will receive 100% of their daytime electricity from local solar projects. Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, which is the utility that serves that area, is also connecting everyone of its 30,000 members to high speed affordable internet service. You'll hear John and Luis discuss the advantages of self-reliance in rural communities and how Kit Carson's progress has been driven by member engagement. With that, onto the show. John Farrell: Without further ado, Luis, welcome. Luis Reyes: Yeah, thanks John, it's nice to talk to you again. John Farrell: Now, your cooperative has gotten in the news for all sorts of reasons around clean energy, but one of the things I think most people don't realize is that you've really been at the helm at Kit Carson for a long time. I looked up in your bio and I think you've been there now for over 25 years.
