“But now we’re actually a very, very important player, we are not a niche player in the energy system. And I think you say five years from now… distributed resources are going to be the critical source of power and activity on the grid.”
Anne Hoskins, Senior Vice President of Policy and Market Development at Generac Power Systems, Where She Serves on the Energy Technology Leadership Team.
Recorded at RE+ 2024 in Anaheim, this episode of Good Energy features Anne Hoskins, Senior Vice President of Policy and Market Development at Generac Power Systems, discussing emerging technologies in solar power and storage.
Hoskins, a former SEIA board member, emphasizes the organization’s crucial role in federal-level advocacy, particularly in the passage of the IRA and work with the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. She also highlights SEIA’s contributions at the state level, particularly through its storage committee, providing resources and updates for companies, including smaller ones like Generac, as they navigate the evolving landscape of storage incentives and legislation.
In the conversation, Hoskins predicts significant growth in distributed energy resources. She points to the increasing prevalence of controls and microgrid controllers within homes, recognizing the need for better grid integration as distributed resources become more widespread. This leads to a discussion about the evolving relationship between the solar industry and utilities, emphasizing the importance of collaboration as distributed resources become a critical component of the power grid.
Hoskins also expresses a desire to see greater participation from public officials and regulators at events like RE+, stressing the importance of their engagement with the latest technologies.
