SUMMARY:Community Climate Resilience Hubs – October Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Throughout this year\, MNIPL is inviting people like you to join our Community Climate Resilience Network (CCRN) to engage communities across the state in a training series that shares the best practices about how to create resilient communities. \nJoin us on October 21 to learn about ways to strengthen your facility and energy systems for improved resilience. Learn about solar electricity and battery backup as well as the ways your building systems can be supported and upgraded to face weather disruptions.   \nSolar Electricity: Federal support for solar energy systems will change dramatically in 2026\, but you can take steps yet in 2025 to retain thousands in federal funding. \nBattery Storage:  Paired with rooftop solar\, battery storage can supply some or all of your electrical needs in times of power outages.  Cecelia Hartigan\, an electrical engineer with Apadana Energy\, will join us to talk about this technology and what you should consider when considering battery storage. \nBuilding Resilience:  Jeremy Davis of Minify Energy will join us to address building envelope issues and other internal needs such as heating and air systems when planning for resilience in the face of weather disruptions. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP FOR THE OCTOBER SESSION!

SUMMARY:The More They Build\, The More They Make: How Utilities Plan for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Utility companies make money when they build energy infrastructure. The cost of that infrastructure is passed on to customers through rate hikes – like the 13% rate increase Xcel is proposing right now.  How can we tell if what utilities propose are the things that best serve our pocketbooks and communities?  \nJoin us for a webinar to learn more about the way utilities are incentivized to build infrastructure and how that affects our rates. We will also be joined by Brian Edstrom\, Senior Regulatory Advocate for the Citizens Utility Board\, to discuss the current Xcel Rate Case that is open for public comment through the end of the year.  \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!
