Wheeling Solution: Competitive, Clean Energy to Retain Customers and Support Municipalities
James Beatty is Chief Executive Officer at Enpower Trading.
Summary
Enpower Trading discusses the advantages of the Wheeling solution for both municipalities and customers.
The primary benefit for municipalities is their ability to offer competitive, clean, and affordable electricity to customers, preventing them from leaving the network to construct their own on-site solutions and reducing revenues for the municipality.
The concept of energy blending is also highlighted, which allows customers to blend their renewable energy sources with power from the network, potentially reaching renewable penetrations of up to 80%.
For customers, this solution helps them meet carbon targets and preferences for green power.
On the municipal side, the Wheeling solution prevents the off-grid flight and preserves jobs by keeping power flowing on the networks.
