Market volatility is causing a lot of uncertainty. To bring clarity around onsite energy economics, we analyzed 200+ facilities across 4 scenarios, stress-testing rising utility rates, equipment price hikes and incentives. The result? Onsite energy systems remain lucrative even under the worst-case scenarios - if tariffs climb and incentives vanish. Why? Utility rates keep marching up and companies that generate their own power lock in stable and predictable energy costs with great NPV and IRR outcomes. Where there is volatility, there is opportunity. The key is to have access to customized data, intelligence, and insights to ensure you are always investing in the right locations and projects, and doing so at the right time to maximize returns on investment in any condition. Tariffs may cut into margins, and incentives can sweeten deals, but make no mistake: Onsite energy wins today and in the long run—and it’s an absolute must for every business strategy moving forward. 👀A link to my most recent article summarizing the analysis is in the comments. #stockmarket #tariffs #business #energy #profitability #confidence #finance VECKTA

What does a D+ rating for the grid mean for your business? We talk about the pressures facing the grid and what that likely means for "rate payers" in the coming years in our latest Renewable Rides podcast.

We're thrilled to be part of this year's cohort of Connect Cool Companies and support the startup ecosystem in San Diego!

As we expand VECKTA's network of solution providers, we continue to be amazed by the number of problem solvers and "yes"-oriented people in energy tech. The team behind DG Matrix is a perfect example. In this week's podcast episode, we talk with CEO Haroon Inam and Chief of Staff Michael Wood III about their Power Router technology that offers a single-device solution to produce, consume, and store energy behind-the-meter, reducing the need for grid upgrades and lengthy permitting processes. This is truly a game changer for bringing distributed energy online. A link to the episode is in the comments and can be found on all major streaming platforms. #onsiteenergy #distributedenergy #energytransition

Community solar programs across the U.S. are expanding to include more rooftop projects, enabling property owners to earn revenue while supporting cleaner, more affordable power for low-income consumers. Community solar has traditionally focused on ground-mount installations, but many states are now embracing rooftop projects to expand clean energy access. These innovative programs allow multiple subscribers to benefit from a single solar installation on commercial, industrial, or institutional rooftops. The link to a full blog post outlining leading state programs is in the comments. Why rooftop community solar matters: - Generates electricity close to where it's consumed, reducing transmission losses - Utilizes existing structures rather than consuming additional land - Can be deployed faster than ground-mount systems - Creates visible renewable energy projects that connect with local communities - Provides economic opportunities for low and moderate-income households - Monetizes underutilized rooftop spaces Leading states like Maryland, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Florida, Virginia, New Jersey, and Connecticut have implemented robust programs with impressive results. Maryland alone has approximately 88 MW of community solar capacity online, while Illinois has installed roughly 287 MWac. Corporate leaders are also stepping up! Walmart has invested in 74 rooftop community solar projects in Maryland and Illinois, generating nearly 43 MW of capacity. Prologis and Brixmor are similarly leveraging their commercial properties for community solar. As we transition to a more distributed, equitable, clean energy system, rooftop community solar represents a crucial component in making renewable energy accessible to all. #energytransition #RenewableEnergy #CommunitySolar #CleanEnergy #EnergyEquity

The energy infrastructure we rely on just got a D+ rating, down from a C- in 2021. This comes when energy demand and climate risk is increasing. As a business leader looking at your company KPIs and Scorecard, what would be your reaction to seeing a D+ rating? In any other part of our business it would be unacceptable and would be addressed. What if that D+ was for energy - which without it you cease to operate and with no control over its price you profits get eroded. Every 4 years the American Society of Civil Engineers issues a report card for US Infrastructure. The last report gave the US Energy infrastructure a C- and this time around downgraded it further to a D+. "Investments in Energy Infrastructure have become critical to the nation’s safety, health, and economic efficiency. Energy interruptions bear significant costs on U.S. industries and consumers, as even a brief power outage increases production costs and disrupts supply chains." https://lnkd.in/gNyhip3j The current funding gap for the U.S. energy sector—what is being spent compared with what’s needed—stands at about $578 billion. I will write a more detailed article on this, but the takeaway for businesses is that there is a massive underinvestment in the poles, wires and infrastructure that deliver power to our businesses and homes. Additional investment is paid for by increasing rates. The outcomes are inevitable - increasing costs and more power quality and outage issues. The only way to control your energy is with onsite energy systems - generating and storing energy at our facilities. This is becoming essential as a risk management strategy and a business survivability mechanism. When proactively managed and businesses own their energy outcomes, they differentiate themselves from their peers and win in the market. #grid #energy #outages #rates #onsiteenergy #microgrids

Quantifying the impacts of clean energy - beyond financials and emissions - has been a missing piece of the story for too long. Now thanks to Andrew DeMille and his team at Quantum Energy, Inc., companies, utilities, and investors can get data on a clean energy project's impact on public health, ecosystems, and the economy with relative ease. As Andrew explains, "this type of analysis is not brand new, it's just that it used to take potentially many, many months or years of time, teams of scientists, terabytes of data and hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars. Thus, at the project level, it was impractical, unaffordable, and not feasible. Average business users can now generate impact analytics on their own and report on avoided impacts to air, water, and soil." Like VECKTA, Quantum Energy is helping to ensure that the people who are expected to drive change, innovate, ideate, put pen to paper, and invest in these projects actually have the data at their fingertips to be able to make these informed decisions and that they're not just shooting in the dark.
