SAN RAFAEL and CONCORD, Calif.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 MCE is pleased to announce TRC as our partner to develop and implement an innovative, dispatchable, behind-the-meter battery energy storage resiliency program for MCE customers. MCE\u2019s Energy Storage Program will deploy 15 megawatt hours of customer-sited storage throughout its four-county service area over a two-year period.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

This program will allow participating customers to keep electricity flowing during Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and other outages, and to lower energy costs and carbon emissions during normal conditions. MCE expects the Energy Storage Program to launch this summer and be available to all customer types, while prioritizing vulnerable customers and critical facilities to support community safety during PSPS and other grid outages. These priority customers will own and receive the benefits of the battery at little- to no upfront cost to them with support from MCE and resource programs.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTRC is excited to work with MCE on this initiative,\u201d said Mark Lorentzen, TRC Senior Vice President, Distributed Energy. \u201cAs a leader in the energy space, MCE\u2019s innovative programs increase energy equity in their communities while thoughtfully tackling financial and market considerations. We believe that this partnership will provide benefits for customers for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

TRC will lead a team of 10 highly skilled firms and organizations with expertise in energy storage, technical implementation, and workforce development. TRC was selected for their deep experience and success in program implementation and distributed energy resource (DER) management. A competitive selection process included responses from 18 qualified vendors. TRC will maximize local workforce development opportunities by partnering with Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, an Oakland-based nonprofit that focuses on training and employing low-income youth and adults in traditionally underserved populations.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs a community partner, MCE\u2019s first priority is to help ensure the health and safety of our customers in relation to their energy needs,\u201d said Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE. \u201cWe are proud to announce our partnership with TRC on our Energy Storage Program, which will enable clean energy resources and backup power to be deployed, especially in vulnerable populations that are disproportionately impacted by the pollution and costs associated with fossil fuel generation resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Priority residential customers include those who are low income or have a medical necessity that could become life threatening without power and live in Tier 2 or 3 high fire threat districts (HFTD) or have been impacted by two or more PSPS events. Priority critical facilities provide essential services during PSPS events or other community emergencies, such as police and fire stations, homeless shelters, and grocery stores. They must be located in Tier 2 or 3 HFTDs, or have been impacted by two or more PSPS events, and serve state-designated low-income or disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n
