Kit Carson Electric Cooperative

KCEC came to Camus Energy with a simple, yet ambitious goal to achieve 100% daytime solar by 2022. By thoughtfully increasing its use of local solar, KCEC could reduce the cost of electricity, bolster consumer choice and equity, and support grid reliability.

Overcoming Imperfect Grid Data with Machine Learning

In the United States, more than 95 million smart meters provide tens of billions of data points to utilities each day. Adding information from line sensors, substation monitoring, and other utility-owned equipment, grid operators have a wealth of data at their disposal. That information is powerful…when it’s put to use.

Why We Love Working With Electric Cooperatives

We love working with electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. That’s not only because we get to work with inspiring people, but because co-ops and munis are uniquely positioned for system-wide adoption of renewables and the transition to a cleaner and more equitable power system.

Why is Camus developing Open Source?

When we started Camus, one of our goals was to contribute our software expertise to the most important problem of our lifetimes. We know that technology can be a powerful enabler for change, and we wanted to bring best practices from the software industry into the grid sector.

Internet Lessons for DER Architecture

At Google I helped define a distributed computing approach which scaled us more than 10,000x. As the grid makes a similar jump, from 1000s of reliable generators to millions of unreliable participants, what can we learn?

Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Inc.

One of the privileges of working with great partners like Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Inc. is the opportunity to join their conversation with the local community. We were excited to meet recently with Net Metering Advisory group and Renewable Taos to share our work on understanding and managing the role of local solar generation in KCEC’s grid.

Our Response to COVID-19

These are strange times; due to covid-19 the Bay Area went under a “shelter in place” order at midnight. Like all local companies, we at Camus Energy are managing through this, and we wanted to share a little of how we are thinking about that.

The Unsexy Valley of Applying Tech to the Energy Transition

Building these systems is hard, and there’s not a good name for it (we’d call it “distributed systems engineering”). It is the model that the cloud was built to enable, and it’s a fundamental shift from the way that software worked before.
