Last week was the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo, held at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Participants from around the world presented cutting edge electric & hybrid marine propulsion technologies, including microturbines, drive control systems, emission reduction technologies, fuel cell technology, and energy storage solutions.
Urban Electric Power had a booth at the event, where we showcased our clean, affordable, and safe zinc manganese batteries.
Last week, hundreds professionals descended upon the San Diego Convention Center for the 2015 Energy Storage North America Expo. The three days of events consisted of workshops, forums, site tours, speeches, and networking receptions. Each day had three different tracks, including Distributed Storage, Hot Markets, Utility, Finance, Grid Services, and Technology.
Earlier this year, Governor Cuomo unveiled New York State's new energy plan: Reforming the Energy Vision (REV), a joint effort between the Public Service Commission (PSC), NYSERDA, and state and local governments. This comprehensive strategy will spur clean energy innovation and investment through promoting energy efficiency, electric vehicles, microgrids, wind, solar, and energy storage.
This week was Grid Edge Live 2015, hosted by GreenTechMedia and held in San Diego, CA at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. This event addresses key issues facing utilities, technology vendors, advanced energy consumers and regulators.
This week, energy leaders from around the world gathered in New York City for New York Energy Week. Check out tweets from the event:

The event featured presentations, panels, workshops, and trade show offerings from many prominent battery manufacturers.
On Wednesday, New York City released their newest sustainability plan, OneNYC. This is among the most detailed climate action plans in the country, focusing on four lenses: growth, equity, sustainability, and resiliency.
Some highlights of the plan include an 80% reduction of carbon emissions by 2050, and a 30% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. Other actions include planting 950,000 trees and 6 million feet of reflective rooftop and upgrading building codes to prepare for floods, wind, and extreme weather.
In terms of renewable energy, their previous plan: PlanNYC, detailed a few projects which were expected to have a huge impact on the energy consumption of one of the largest cities in North America. These include a 10mw solar array in Staten Island's Fresh Kills Landfill, 1000mw from hydro-power, made possible through a high voltage line from Quebec to Astoria, and a 350-700mw offshore wind proposal, 20 miles from the battery in Lower Manhattan.
In light of this ambitious plan and the Earth Day celebrations that we have seen throughout this week, we want to provide a summary of what other cities are doing to mitigate the effects of climate change.
