How Virtual Power Plants Are Bringing Power to the People and The Grid

Virtual

This webinar, part of the Beyond Transmission series by Heatmap Labs, will focus on the key role of customer-side flexibility in the form of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Across the country, utilities are harnessing existing network and customer assets – from solar panels and car batteries to smart thermostats and water heaters – to create VPPs that can deliver a range of grid services, satisfy soaring electricity demand, and bring relief to congested grid infrastructure. And VPPs also provide opportunities to empower customers, keep costs low, and decarbonize the grid through flexibility.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series Lecture “When the lobsters march north: From expensive models to collaborative solutions to save America’s coral reef”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

What is the future we want for America's largest coral reefs? These delicate ecosystems support marine life and human endeavors, but climate change is threatening the existence of these natural, and human communities, alike. There are several climate models addressing marine life impacts, however the cost to run models is a barrier to the communities who need them most. Together with the model metrics and insight from community members, this research will provide adaptation techniques that are meaningful to the local community.

Longmont Farmers Market

The Boulder County Fairgrounds (9595 Nelson Road, Longmont, CO 80501). 9595 Nelson Road, Longmont

Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.
