If the US had anything close to a semi-organized nuclear advocacy community, it would have a meaningful presence at this conference. The gap btwn media hype and real-world activity remains quite large.

Interesting thoughts on US interconnection here by Josh Smith - worth a read. poweringspaceshipearth.substack.com/p/is-all-this-…

Looks like best-attended SEARUC conference perhaps ever - positive sign as more stakeholders grasp importance of PUC engagement. Full attendee list here: searuc.org/meetings/atten…

Excited to join this panel at the Southeastern Association of Reg. Utility Commissioners annual conference w/ Simon Mahan @CsmithHayesREAL Duke Energy (rep'd by McGuireWoods) - join us! searuc.org

DukeU is extraordinarily lucky to have Brian C Murray in this leadership role. Congratulations, Brian!

y'all, SAVE 👏 THE 👏 DATE 👏

connect and manage better be on the agenda Tyler Norris

The problem of studying solar for 100% deliverability (i.e. NRIS) despite much lower PV deliverability value (i.e. ELCC) is becoming more widespread, as Ric O'Connell noted here. The solar industry has failed to get ahead of this, but it can no longer be ignored.

I texted this to the former head of transmission planning for a Western utility, and he responded: “I think memes may be the best way to get attention to this”

Listen to Mathias Einberger & please give the man a follow (+ his colleagues Katie Siegner Sarah Toth Claire Wayner) - among a few dozen people in the US who get it on interconnection.

Important thread from Tyler Norris showing the unfair treatment of solar by utilities: no capacity credit for RA, but then required to be deliverable in the interconnection process (NRIS). So solar pays for network upgrades but gets no RA credit. Not right.

this is broken. and at this pace we’re going to miss the energy transition….

Wry instructive thread, the grid could/can so easily be the key asset in a low cost energy transition, but it’s going to require quite some heavy lifting by regulators it seems…
