Sparkfund CEO Pier LaFarge participated on a panel at the Mid-America Regulatory Conference (MARC) panel last week to share Sparkfund's insights on how we can unlock grid value and accelerate DERs for the benefit of customers and the grid, highlighting, "Programs that include a centralized planning mechanism from the utility that directly transfers grid value to customers have shown the ability to enroll more customers faster and for lower overall cost." A big thank you to the MARC conference organizers for hosting such an informative event and providing the space to highlight the importance of creating programs that can scale to help grow the grid most efficiently. Looking forward to more insightful discussions in the future! #MARC #RegulatoryConference #UtilityPlanning #CustomerBenefits

🔌 Discuss EVSE Charging Solutions with our SME: Christiane 🔌 Our expert sheds light on the challenges and solutions surrounding EVSE adoption, emphasizing the pivotal role of confidence-building in both EV technology and infrastructure. What are the key challenges facing the widespread adoption of EVSE, and how can businesses overcome them? C: "For fleet markets, fixed routes and known mileage make EV adoption straightforward. However, for the general public, range anxiety remains a hurdle. Building up EVSE infrastructure in communities and along transit routes is key to overcoming this." What made you decide to work in this industry? C: "I used to work as an engineer in the oil and gas industry, drilling offshore wells worldwide. However, I felt like I was in the wrong place, contributing to things I didn't believe in. Wanting to make a positive impact, I moved back to the U.S. and took time to find work aligned with my values." What are the latest trends in EV charging technology? C: "The latest trends in EV charging equipment focus on software development rather than physical changes. While plug types and wireless charging are evolving, the core equipment remains relatively stable. Charge management systems are gaining prominence, allowing for centralized control and monitoring of multiple chargers." Get in touch with Christiane and our team of experts today to learn how we can support your energy transition projects from start to finish: https://hubs.la/Q02tbycx0 #EVSE #EnergyTransition #SpotlightInterview #ChargingSolutions

We reduced 549 metric tons of CO2 annually from one lighting deal! 🌍 Outdated lighting can affect our environment and cost your business thousands annually. We saved a multisite retailer in the DMV area 51,997 dollars annually by upgrading their fluorescent lighting to LED in addition to reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere. Sparkfund loves saving your business money just as much as spearheading the energy transition to protect the Earth's natural resources for future generations.
