DENVER, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today SunShare, the nation’s community solar leader, announced commissioning of its Uncompahgre Community Solar Garden, Colorado’s largest community solar project to-date, totaling just over five megawatts DC. The Weld County-based solar array now generates clean, solar energy for 450 Colorado homes, the City of Westminster, and the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

It is the first five-megawatt project to be built after the 2019 Community Solar Gardens Modernization Act allowed for larger gardens and eliminated geographic restrictions for participation, enabling this garden to serve subscribers from 13 Colorado counties and 40 cities.

«It is exciting that 10 years after we created the first open-market community solar garden in Colorado, our 22^ndColorado solar garden is now the largest in our home state and serves more residents than any other community solar garden in Colorado’s history,» David Amster-Olszewski, SunShare’s CEO and Founder, said. «I couldn’t be more proud to energize this garden that is subscribed by my friends, neighbors, members of the SunShare team, and so many other Colorado residents who were previously unable to participate due to size and geographical restrictions.»

Subscribers will receive credits on their utility bills for energy generated by the garden, which was constructed by E Light Electric, a local Colorado contractor. SunShare will own and manage the community solar garden for its lifespan.

«E Light is so happy to be a part of this industry, and we are thrilled to do our part to keep Colorado green,» David Wright, President of E Light Electric, said. «We love the community solar concept, and the benefits it brings subscribers.»

Denver-based SunShare has developed more than 110 MWdc of community solar gardens and is the largest residential community solar subscriber in the U.S., having enrolled more than 13,000 residential subscribers in both Colorado and Minnesota.

The Uncompahgre Community Solar Garden kicks off additional community solar garden construction for SunShare and comes on the heels of the company winning 13 megawatts of capacity in Xcel Energy’s 2020 Solar*Rewards Community RFP and Standard Offer Program. At least seven additional megawatts of SunShare gardens are projected to come online mid-year, serving another 1,200 residential homes, with construction on additional projects beginning later in the year.

TYSONS, Va., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AFWERX, the catalyst for fostering innovation within the U.S. Air Force, announced Mobius Logic, Inc. as one of the 179 participating teams selected from across the globe competing to Reimagining Energy for the DoD.

The AFWERX Challenge is centered around six topics—Fixed and Mobile Energy Generation, Energy Transmission and Distribution, Fixed and Mobile Energy Storage, New Warfighting and Operational Equipment, Data Availability for Improved Planning and Decision Making, and Energy Culture, Policy, and Education. The proposals selected to advance represent innovative solutions to allow for more effective warfighting and humanitarian missions less reliant on fossil fuels.

Located in Tysons, VA, Mobius Logic Inc. is competing in the Energy Transmission and Distribution Challenge alongside a diverse group of teams—originating from the vast regions of North America, Europe, Australia and other allied countries—that represent entrepreneurial startups, small businesses, large enterprises, academic institutions and research labs all vying to Reimagine Energy for the Department of Defense.

«The AFWERX Base of the Future Challenge is critical to our mission of increasing collaboration between large businesses and entrepreneurs to accelerate solutions for the Air Force,» stated Mark Rowland of AFWERX. «On behalf of AFWERX and the Department of Defense, we congratulate the teams advancing to the next phase. Their contributions are invaluable and have the potential to create game-changing results across the Air Force enterprise.»

The Energy Transmission and Distribution Challenge strives to identify ways to transport and distribute energy to where it is needed. The Department of Defense (DoD) consumes large amounts of operational and facility energy to provide a combat-credible force. The DoD is one of the largest single consumers of energy globally, and the Air Force is the largest user of fuel energy in the US Government. The way we generate, transmit, store, and use this enormous amount of energy today is both a paramount combat enabler and a potentially crippling vulnerability.

Mobius Logic’s Energy Challenge Solution, Smart Grid Analytics using MAKANA, is a set of analytics tools that will enable major command to run agent-based simulations and automate their machine learning operations so they can get quick answers to «what-if» questions.

«Our aim is to provide the Air Force senior command with a wholistic decision making tool that would enable them to make quick and informed data-driven decisions regarding the choice of innovative technologies that will instrument the smart energy grid for strategic and tactical purposes,» stated Christian Manasseh, CEO and founder of Mobius Logic. «The tools that optimized the traditional grid need to be upgraded with smarter simulations and AI-enriched decision support capabilities, and that is what we are offering to this Challenge.»

MAKANA runs predictive analytics and simulations to optimize demand/supply patterns enabling users to analyze large amounts of data from various DoD and public domain sources, augmenting the human decision-making process for a combat-credible energy system.

Deploying Mobius Logic’s Smart Grid Analytics ensures decreased risk of energy system failure and decreased consequences of that failure by enabling rapid decisions in a changing environment. This allows the USAF to benefit from the best new technologies in energy generation, transmission, and storage, by ensuring these systems can be implemented with reliability and sustainability.
