By Eric Sikkema Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are among the toxic gases that result from burning fossil fuels. When exposed to sunlight, NOx reacts with volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) to form particulate matter and ground-level ozone, also known as smog. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) estimates the NOx emissions released into the air from buildings are nearly two-thirds of the NOx emissions from light duty … Continue reading California Air Quality Regulators Strengthen Trend to All-Electric Appliances 

By George Burmeister Probably the biggest electricity story in Southern California in 2023 is what did not happen during record breaking winter rains, the region’s first ever tropical storm watch, and an unusually hot summer defined by some of the highest ever recorded temperatures in the region. The story: the electric grid is resilient and dependable despite the unusual demands placed on it. It did … Continue reading SCE Battery Storage Resiliency Investments Pay Off During Summer of 2023

By Gina Lindsay Electric vehicles (EVs) are evolving into more than just a means of zero-emissions transportation. Their supplementary advantages now extend to using the EV as a backup power source, grid balancer, and facilitator of reduced utility bills. These enhancements are made possible through Vehicle-to-Building (V2B) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies which enable bidirectional energy flow between EVs, the building, and the electric grid. How … Continue reading Wheels to Watts: Unleashing the Potential of Vehicle-to-Building (V2B) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology
