Big changes are on the horizon to emphasize the bright future of solar power. In an effort to accelerate the deployment of this valuable energy-generation resource, the U.S Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) has revised previous goals to now cut the cost of solar energy by about two-thirds by 2030. In this blog, we’re explaining the potential impacts of the new SunShot 2030 plan, and how your facility can benefit.

When it comes to the energy efficiency of modern lighting technology, the light-emitting diode (LED) is in a league of its own. But LEDs provide more than energy savings; these lights usually last far longer than other lighting types and can even emit light in specific directions. The safety benefits of LED lighting, however, are often overlooked. In this blog, we’ll discuss how LED lighting technology helps to improve safety in industrial and commercial facilities, as well as how we can help you make the switch to this cost-effective lighting system today—so you’re not left in the dark tomorrow.

From the large sails that pushed ships across the ocean to the tall mills that ground grain, wind energy has been harnessed by humans for thousands of years. But while the modern age has seen fossil fuels such as coal dominate electrical energy generation, renewable resources such as wind are making a comeback. Over the past few years, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) has issued findings that ultimately explored the impacts of a scenario in which 35 percent of the nation’s electricity is supplied by wind energy by 2050. In this blog, we’re looking at what these reports say about the future of wind energy and explaining how we can help your business achieve its green energy goals.

Climate change can disrupt all aspects of human life, contributing to rising sea levels, hotter days and severe weather that can negatively impact food production, among other consequences. While it may feel like this global crisis is only getting worse, businesses are in a unique position to lead the charge in mitigating the effects. That’s why it’s important for your business to consider forward-thinking sustainability initiatives that will help reduce your company’s carbon footprint. But you don’t have to do it alone—Dalkia Energy Solutions can be your partner in implementing projects at your facility that help the environment and make your facility more energy efficient.

Climate change is an urgent and ever-growing concern that can disrupt human life through an array of effects including rising sea levels, hotter days and destructive, severe weather. Despite the increased frequency of extreme climate events, skepticism over the issue has continued to grow. In response, our parent company, EDF Group, recently published a climate change study based upon opinion responses from people in 30 different countries across five continents. In this blog, we’re reviewing this new groundbreaking data and explaining how Dalkia Energy Solutions can help your facility lower the impact of your carbon emissions while also saving you money.

It’s a brand new year, and with that comes the opportunity to carefully assess the full energy landscape across the globe. Without a doubt, renewable energy has become much more popular over the past decade—between 2011 and 2020, the amount of electricity produced in the U.S. from solar and wind sources increased almost four-fold. And according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermic and hydroelectric generated about 21 percent of all of the country’s electricity in 2020, beating nuclear and coal. With these figures in mind, it’s fair to say that green energy is already in the spotlight, but what is in store for the clean energy of the future? In this blog, we’ll be looking at some of the most critical energy trends to watch in the coming years.

Is your facility struggling with the rising price of natural gas? Shockingly, it’s already doubled this year and, unfortunately, the issue is only expected to worsen this winter—resulting in higher heating bills and higher electric utility costs. But we can help you fight back against rising energy prices with our array of on-site energy solutions.

In December, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker released his “Massachusetts 2050 Decarbonization Roadmap” with several measures to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the major aspects of this plan requires all new cars sold in the state to be electric by 2035. As an energy efficiency company with our U.S. headquarters in Beverly, Massachusetts, we applaud this effort to lower the state’s carbon footprint and we can help your facility stay ahead of the curve in the adoption of electric vehicles (EV).

It may sound cliché, but it’s amazing what we can accomplish when the whole world works together. That’s the basic concept behind Zero Emissions Day—a time to reflect on the choices we can all make to reduce emissions and find more sustainable solutions. For one day, on September 21, the goal is to remove our reliance on fossil fuels while raising awareness for climate-friendly choices. This year, we invite you to discover the efforts we put forth each and every day as well as the ways our energy solutions can help set you on a path to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Hospitals never close shop for the day—doctors and nurses don’t get to punch out early. These facilities operate 24/7 for patients who need it, and the energy bills from all that necessary, life-saving machinery can add up. If you’re looking for a way to lower your energy bills while continuing to provide your patients with the best possible treatment, Dalkia Energy Solutions is just what the doctor ordered.
