I think about this almost every day, big things coming
@JigarShahDC @DER_Task_Force
Last week I went to the coolest event I’ve been to in a long time #DERTFest @DER_Task_Force
Met so many insanely talented people + learned a lot.
Favorite part = @JigarShahDC advice: “Too many of y’all are thinking in M’s. Start thinking in B’s”

The Bellmawr BOE cut the ribbon on their 725 kW solar project. The systems on the town's 3 elementary schools will jointly produce 1,000,000 kWh of electricity, replacing over 80% of the current consumption and saving the district approx $2.5 million over the next 15 years!!

"When lawmakers set up this system in the late 1990s, the assumption was that a competitive marketplace would result in lower power prices for customers. But for the most part, the opposite has happened."

Learned a lot from this pod w/ @shaylekann @RobGramlichDC
Amazing/infuriating stat:
Currently ~2 terawatts of renewable energy generation capacity stuck in the interconnection queue…for reference ~1.25 terawatts of TOTAL generation capacity on the US grid right now.
😬
The U.S. power grid is clogged, and it's holding back the energy transition.⚡️💡
In this episode, @shaylekann and @RobGramlichDC talk through the three major challenges of transmission: congestion, interconnection and buildout. canarymedia.com/podcasts/cat…

A report by NY PSC found leadership failures at Central Hudson Power.State investigators found "poor planning, understaffing, inadequate training and undue pressure" on workers doomed the utility's new billing system. (kingstonwire.com/) nooz.at/post/link/517Ion #newsatomic

If you’re wondering why interest in microgrids is growing at a rapid clip, look no further than a new report “Billion Dollar Losses, Trillion Dollar Threats: The Cost of Climate Change.” tinyurl.com/mv78cw8v #microgrids @PhySciEng

Thousands of layoffs at PG&E over the last month, including workers focused on reducing wildfire risk. Union leaders say the company is trying to make up for 2022 budget overruns: grist.org/wildfires/pge-cuts…

This project is so cool. The completely off-grid microgrid can run off solar and storage alone - a unique aspect for this size of system.
We're seeing more and more this trend where utilities can't deliver enough power on time to new developments in CA.
