We need modern, bold solutions to transform the way that our electricity system works — providing power where people live and work. That means empowering people to develop local clean energy, including home solar and batteries as we transition to 100 percent clean energy for all,” said Anne Hoskins, chief policy officer at Sunrun. After the Woolsey Fires last year, Southern California Edison was investigated for its possible role in the wildfire’s origination. Sunrun’s analysis illustrates the risks of transmitting electricity over long stretches of power lines, and the potential for distributed energy to mitigate these risks while providing safe and reliable electricity. Electrical power flowing through circuits causes them to heat up. When an electrical circuit heats up, it will expand proportionately to temperature. This affects how close to the ground that circuit hangs, the “sag”. Too much sag can bring the circuit closer to other objects or circuits resulting in sparks which have potential to cause wildfires. Networked distributed energy resources, like home solar and batteries, in remote communities can reduce the amount of power on transmission and distribution infrastructure and lower the risk of power lines sagging and sparking wildfires. Sunrun’s analysis considers a specific scenario demonstrating how networked home solar and battery power in a wildfire-prone community can reduce power line sag to safe levels. At the same time, this type of community microgrid can provide reliable electricity to remote communities, which are increasingly at risk of de-energization events. Local solar and batteries can reduce the overall strain on a community’s energy infrastructure, by lowering the amount of electricity pulled from the centralized grid. This Please see batteries, 13
