Lumin CEO Byline Published in Solar Power World: Energy Equity is Pivotal to Unlocking the Energy Transition
Posted August 15, 2023
When it comes to decarbonization, we’re pointed in the right direction. The United States has set ambitious targets to achieve 100% carbon pollution-free electricity and establish a net-zero emissions economy by 2035. However, the energy transition’s success depends on ensuring that all Americans, regardless of location or socioeconomic status, can participate in this pivotal shift. Tax credits and rebates from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) have helped reduce the cost of home electrification and electric vehicle (EV) ownership, but significant roadblocks remain.
Cleantech has traditionally been expensive and early adopters of clean energy technologies such as solar, batteries and EVs came from wealthier segments of society. But as we aim to progress beyond the early adoption phase and into mass electrification, we must enable participation from all socioeconomic groups. Otherwise, we’ll fail to achieve our climate goals in time.
Utilities and policymakers should focus on two central themes when working towards energy equity:
- Scale: Achieving our electrification and carbon reduction goals will require mass participation
- Fairness: Incentive programs should ensure that all stakeholders benefit, not just the wealthy.
Unfortunately, there is a disconnect between the cost of clean energy adoption and the average American income. In 2020, households with residential solar systems had a median income of about $115,000 per year, while the median household income was only about $63,000 annually. This disparity increases for those below the median income — a group largely excluded from the clean energy market. Moreover, 65% of low-income families bear the burden of inefficient home energy systems and don’t receive their fair share of utility energy-efficiency funds.

OATI Announces New DR Program
webSmartEnergy® for Residential Managed Charging uses Telematics to connect to EVS
Posted August 14, 2023
Minneapolis, MN (May 8, 2023) – Join OATI, The Most Trusted Name In Energy™, as it showcases its innovative new Demand Response (DR) Program: webSmartEnergy® for Residential Managed EV Charging, at the Peak Load Management Alliance (PLMA) Conference in Memphis, Tennessee, May 8-10. Using telematics data, OATI’s new solution eliminates the need to add a meter to each home, and creates a robust residential Electric Vehicle (EV) charging demand response (DR) program that leverages an EV’s onboard diagnostics systems.
The new webSmartEnergy® Program includes simple web-based enrollment to attract EV drivers to sign up and increase program participation. “OATI’s data-driven platform enables utilities to enroll EV drivers in cost-saving programs and incentivizes grid-beneficial charging habits,” says Sasan Mokhtari, Ph.D., OATI President and CEO. “It also manages that charging, and generates insights on customer EV charging habits to improve future services.”
Communicating directly with EVs gives utilities the freedom to enroll multiple EV vehicle manufacturers in the program to increase the potential customer pool. The program provides utilities:
- Access to “State of Charge”, “Charge Status”, etc.
- Ability to schedule demand response events to shape home charging behavior away from expensive peak times to lower-cost, non-peak hours
- A single dashboard sightline that presents a holistic view of program effectiveness
“This is yet another innovation that shows why OATI is the Most-Trusted Name in Energy,” adds Dr. Mokhtari. “With industry experts and superior solutions, we’re the utility’s best partner to transform EV customers into participants who benefit the grid, the utility, and the customer themselves.”
