Webinar: The Story of Microgrids: A Historical Perspective
Expand your knowledge of microgrid technology and the microgrid industry with insights from HOMER Energy founder, Dr. Peter Lilienthal, into the rise of microgrids and the bright energy future they allow us to create.
Earth Day 2020: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
Today is the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, when millions of Americans protested air and water pollution, pesticides and waste. That event prompted important actions that improved air and water quality. Now Earth Day is worldwide, and together we face the challenge of global warming. Renewable energy is progressing rapidly. Can we harness this technology to help mitigate climate change?
8th Annual HOMER International Microgrid Conference: Virtual
HOMER Energy is pleased to announce that the 8th Annual HOMER International Microgrid Conference will take place virtually this fall, as a series of online events that will be announced soon. We look forward to involving even more people than are usually able to attend our conference. We will celebrate our new way of connecting as we share the latest innovations in microgrid development:
Actions We Can Take Right Now Toward a Cleaner, Healthier Tomorrow
Our current global situation has many of us working from our homes and adjusting to changing plans. One change is that we are going to make the 2020 HOMER International Microgrid Conference this fall a virtual event. In the meantime, Marilyn Walker, PhD, and COO of HOMER Energy, says we can use this time to plan for – and model – a clean energy future together.
HOMER Grid Users Can Now Design Custom Microgrid Control Strategies
HOMER Energy by UL recently released two powerful, customizable Controller APIs that give users the ability to create and simulate their own dispatch strategy in HOMER Grid, software for modeling the design of behind-the-meter distributed energy systems.

Elizabeth May Looks to Canada’s Green Future
Attorney, activist and member of the Canadian Parliament Elizabeth May led Canada’s Green Party for 13 years, stepping down in late 2019. We wanted to catch up with her and hear about her upcoming environmental priorities:
Electric Vehicle Battery Power Could Offset Residential Peak in Southern California Utility
A Southern California Edison study last fall found that simulated vehicle-to-grid charging by only 10 percent of customers could offset the utility’s entire residential peak load. While rapid growth of EV ownership is on track to put unprecedented stress on utility resources, the study suggests that using EVs as a “virtual power plant” can lessen the impact:
