🌎💧 Looking Back to Move Forward: A Groundbreaking Study with Lasting Impact 💧🌎 In 2011, Locus Technologies partnered with the Silicon Valley Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) to conduct a landmark multi-phase study on the effects of recycled water irrigation on groundwater quality. The insights gained shaped best practices for sustainable water reuse and groundwater protection, challenges that remain just as urgent for water utilities today. What’s changed? Today, the tools have evolved. Many of the complex evaluations we performed back then—modeling, monitoring, data analysis—can now be streamlined and automated through Locus’ award-winning cloud software. Our Locus Water Suite is growing and more integrated than ever. From Backflow Inspection, Monthly Operating Reports (MOR), and Industrial Pretreatment (IPP) to Lead and Copper Compliance, these are just a few of the fully integrated apps in a robust family designed specifically for water utilities. Let’s build on the past to shape a more sustainable, data-driven water future. #WaterReuse #Groundwater #DigitalWater #Sustainability #WaterUtilities #LocusTechnologies #SmartCompliance #WaterSuite https://lnkd.in/gFNJAy-P

⚡️🔌 ICYMI: ev.energy and Pacific Gas and Electric Company are Advancing California's Grid with Smarter EV Charging! Last week, we shared the exciting news: ev.energy is now an Automation Service Provider (ASP) in PG&E’s new 'Hourly Flex Pricing' (HFP) pilot! As our CEO, Nick Woolley, puts it: "This intelligent pilot aligns perfectly with our mission to make EV charging more accessible, sustainable, and affordable." This collaboration means our intelligent platform and intuitive mobile app will empower California EV drivers to seamlessly optimize charging based on dynamic electricity prices. Imagine your EV charging when energy is cleanest and most affordable – that's what we're making possible! This isn't just about convenience; it's about building a more resilient and sustainable energy future for California. We're uniquely positioned to support utilities in implementing dynamic pricing programs, delivering benefits like: 💰 Cost savings for EV owners ⚡ Enhanced grid stability and decarbonization ⬇️ Downward pressure on overall electricity rates We're incredibly excited to bring these benefits to even more drivers. Learn more about how you can earn incentives for smart charging by reading the full press release in the comments below! #EVCharging #DynamicRates #SmartCharging #ManagedCharging #DemandFlexibility #Renewables

Excited to be heading to Aggie Square tomorrow for the MIX event and to be part of a conversation about what resilient, community-focused energy actually looks like in practice. In my recent post, I dove into why the microgrid market is set to nearly triple and why utilities and communities are starting to view microgrids as complete energy alternatives, not just temporary stopgaps—looking forward to carrying that discussion into the room with founders, policymakers, and partners who are building what comes next.

DTECH® Day 2: The Grid’s Future Requires More Than Technology On the second day of DTECH®, leaders from NextEra Energy, Inc., Google Cloud, Southern California Edison (SCE), National Grid, SMUD, PECO, and Hawaiian Electric, among others, showed how AI agents, AMI 2.0, and DERMS are reshaping operations. Here’s what stood out: ✨AI can predict grid failures - if you capture the operational data. ✨AMI 2.0 unlocks grid-edge intelligence - if you integrate it with ADMS/DERMS. ✨DERs become flexible assets - if you orchestrate them in real time. The technology exists. The challenge is organizational. Capturing what’s learned, sharing it across teams, and acting on it faster than the competition. While most conferences end when attendees leave the floor, DTECH is taking a different approach. By using Rozie Synopsis, every session is captured in real time and transformed into a searchable post-event knowledge hub, featuring an executive event summary, daily debriefs, individual session reports, audio summaries, and an embedded AI knowledge advisor for natural-language queries. Attendees can access insights from the sessions they attended, the ones they missed, and connect it all into a cohesive view. Speakers extend their reach far beyond the room, while the industry’s transformation is documented and organized as it happens. From AI-driven operations to DER orchestration to AMI intelligence, Day 2 confirmed it. The future grid requires institutional memory, not just institutional knowledge. DTECH is building that memory in real time. #DTECH #GridModernization #UtilityInnovation #EnergyTransformation #RozieSynopsis #EventTech #EventProfs

🌟 California is facing new barriers on its journey toward a 100% clean energy future. Flexible, future-ready interconnection could offer the state a faster route. We’ll discuss just that at this year’s California Power Summit, where I’ll join a powerhouse panel on Flexible Interconnections and Grid Innovation moderated by Eric Little and featuring Karin L Burns, CEO of San Diego Community Power, and Matthew Langer, COO at Clean Power Alliance. We’ll unpack how smart interconnection, grid-edge tech, and real-time capacity tools like DLR can help California bring on renewables more efficiently—while boosting reliability and affordability along the way. I’m proud to share Heimdall Power’s solution and look forward to learning from the bold strategies others are deploying across the West Coast grid. ⚡ 🔗 Full agenda: https://lnkd.in/gCmHaBUw #GridInnovation #CleanEnergy #Interconnection #DLR #SmartGrid #CaliforniaEnergy #HeimdallPower #CaliforniaPowerSummit2025

📹 Check out this story by NBC Bay Area about how Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor software monitors Domaine Carneros Winery's on-site energy generation. A leading grower-producer of ultra-premium sparkling wine and pinot noirs, Napa winery Domaine Carneros reduced its carbon emissions last year by 375 metric tons of CO2 through the deployment of a microgrid, while saving nearly six figures on its annual energy costs. 👉 Domaine Carneros self-generates 70 to 80% of its energy for winery operations such as fermentation, bottling, and wine tastings. The microgrid enables the winery to have complete self-sufficiency during power outages, which are more frequent due to power demands, serve weather and earthquakes. 👀 Watch the story here: http://spr.ly/60472vhjl

Insightful - to see the USA/CA perspective - post “Net Electricity Metering” thinking. Not sure I agree though that grid defection is an option let alone an objective. We need a better more efficient distribution networks (and not lumbered with monopoly integrated [actual or synthetic] vertically integrated utilities!! It’s the “Consumers’ Grid”‼️ “There’s a very clear price signal to homeowners that they should invest in clean energy in a way that sets them up to either defect or cooperate with the grid,” Krause added, explaining that net billing has accelerated this utility death spiral that makes self-consumption of solar energy more economical.”

🌞 What happens when solar power meets rural transit? You get a first-of-its-kind microgrid network that redefines resilience, equity, and sustainability for communities in California’s Central Valley. We partnered with Fresno County Rural Transit Agency to plan a solar-powered system that does more than charge vehicles—it empowers a 100% zero-emissions fleet, fuels emergency-ready resiliency hubs, and delivers energy independence for the long haul. From grid capacity analysis to community input from over 1,000 residents, this was more than a study—it was a blueprint for what’s next in clean infrastructure. ⚡🚎💬 💡 Want to know how we helped make this future real?

DISTRIBUTECH remains one of the industry’s most invigorating gatherings, connecting utility leaders, technology partners, and innovators driving grid modernization.   The energy sector faces increasing complexity right now — from grid management and DER integration to customer engagement, aging workforce optimization and peak load demands. Utilities are moving beyond fragmented operations, and the next operating model is a 360° view — where customer, workforce, business, and the grid operate in one connected flow, with decisions that are informed, timely, and intelligent.   At DTECH 2026, SEW.AI will share how Vertical AI is enabling this shift at enterprise scale, helping utilities operate as one intelligent ecosystem across grid automation, customer experience, workforce execution, energy efficiency, payments, and demand response.   #DISTRIBUTECH #DTECH #Utilities #EnergyTransition #AI #GridModernization #SEW
