Clean energy, climate, and local control of energy were on the ballot in 2024. Here's a quick rundown of some results: #energytwitter

Great to see bipartisan support from state utility commissioners for technologies to get more capacity out of the existing grid. 🇺🇸’s grid needs both upgrades and expansions to deliver the lowest cost power to meet demand from America’s growing economy.

Yesterday, FERC approved Southwest Power Pool's and MISO’s filing on the Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue (JTIQ). MISO will now seek its Board approval in December. The five-project JTIQ Portfolio has an estimated value of $1.6 billion and will enable approximately 28 GW of generation to

A new report quantifies just how much clean electricity the US steel industry will need to decarbonize — a task that could get even harder under Donald Trump. Reporting by @MariaGallucci: ow.ly/28jx50U8ZNs

Interesting analysis here. The case for off-grid systems is an indictment of the interconnection processes that grid operators are currently offering. Seems like it could make sense for some to pursue this strategy and then connect to grid later if those processes ever catch up.

FERC must act very soon on ISO-NE's interconnection rule compliance filing (Order No. 2023), to allow projects to be developed under the new rules in time to deliver into the region's 19th capacity auction: utilitydive.com/news/ferc-iso-…

1/ 🚨New study alert!🚨 My DukeU colleagues and I just released a 1st-of-kind study on how the US grid could integrate up to 100 gigawatts of data centers w/out major new infrastructure, provided modest load flexibility (0.5%/yr). AI load growth can be managed faster, cheaper, &

.@FERC approved PJM Interconnection "surplus interconnection" proposal, which will help new energy storage, wind and solar resources share interconnection capacity with existing power plants that aren't fully using it. A significant step forward! elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/filel…

Tyler Norris Appreciate the shout out in your paper. Happy to chat with any regulators, utilities or hyper scalers that are looking for an energy flexible data center without compromising compute availability. verrusdata is building exactly that.

The Energy Department is seeking to bring back fired nuclear weapons specialists after abruptly telling hundreds of workers that their jobs were eliminated.

Yesterday, the Administration announced a wild scheme that empowers the Dept of Energy to subsidize any power plant in the country. It has no basis in the statute and clearly violates the Major Questions Doctrine. Here's the EO: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

The Dept of U.S. Department of Energy has been supporting development of US capacity to process Rare Earth Elements under the Infrastructure Act, Loan Programs Office & other programs that the Trump admin has either paused, already gutted or threatened to gut. You think there is an actual plan?
