It can be taken as a given that LEO constellations in polar orbits will deliver low-cost global coverage, but a more pertinent question is: when will they have the appropriate scale to deliver a truly meaningful service component for 5G mMTC?

“You’re going to spend the money either maintaining flawed systems or you’re going to spend the money because you have a built-in operational inefficiency,” McCarthy said. “Or you can chip away at it and do it in a manner that transitions from the old legacy environments to the emerging technologies. It’s not an easy choice because there’s not a clear path that has been done before — that’s why people are here today trying to map that out.”

The PSC’s model favors utility-scale solar over residential rooftop. But the clean energy goals of Atlanta and Athens may be shifting that stance.

Officials aim to arrive at a decision “soon,” said McCarthy, who did not provide an exact timeline.

According to the CERC (Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations 2017, all renewable energy power plants except biomass power plants with installed capacity of 10MW and above and non-fossil fuel-based cogeneration plants shall be given a ‘must run’ status and not be subject to ‘merit order despatch’ principles.

In food preparation and processing areas, the level of cleaning means that LED lights are housed in waterproof enclosures. This also applies to high humidity areas where the LED light has to be protected from moisture.

The design offers protection against salt spray and vibration, and has a storage temperature of -20° to +60°C. The Lexan polycarbonate lens is ultraviolet (UV) and impact resistant. The chassis is made of hard anodized marine-grade aluminum, with a stainless-steel bezel. A 17W slimline version has recently been introduced, adding to the 30W and 55W original versions.

The device works by capturing sunlight on the roof or exterior walls of a property and concentrating this energy using Fresnel lenses, reflecting it into the centre of a highly-insulated oven with an aluminium interior and external walls made from thermal bricks. The oven is fitted with a sensor that provides live data on temperature, and a dial that enables the user to control the temperature be reflecting the light energy.

After the first implementation, the system demonstrated robustness and stability, but it lacked functionality and flexibility. It was clear – one cannot build a future proof solution on an old foundation: induction meters and one-way communications. The utility needs were going beyond the collection of raw data, which was not giving any information on the time of consumption or load peaks. Besides, the system was not offering any means of control over the consumption. The old inductive meters were not allowing the implementation of saving incentive tools, such as time-of-use metering or demand side management, which would motivate consumers to decrease the level of consumption.

Uber drivers in major cities are now also preparing to strike for 12 hours on May 8 in the hopes of greater pay, basic benefits, and more transparency regarding wage practices.

Spring is here and wonderful displays of wildflowers can be found all over Southern Arizona and beyond.
