Washington State Governor Jay Inslee announced today over $14 million in awards from his state’s Clean Energy Fund to invest in storage and smart grid projects at utilities and research institutions in the state. This is great news for MESA, since Washington-based Snohomish Public Utility District and Puget Sound Energy are both MESA supporters.
 
Following upon Governor Inslee’s announcement, both Snohomish PUD and 1Energy Systems today released news that they expect to deploy more MESA-based systems and technology based on the investment of matching funds from the state.
 
All in all, a good day for open standards in energy storage!
