Energy storage demand offsets EV slowdown, driving LG Energy Solution profit increase #energysky -- via Energy Storage News:

Good news out of Pennsylvania with Eos Energy announcing an expansion of their battery manufacturing and creation of 735 new jobs. #energysky www.pa.gov/governor/new...

Excited to see hitachi energy announce this new manufacturing plant of large power transformers in Virginia! We need to supercharge US grid manufacturing. #energysky www.hitachienergy.com/us/en/news-a...

Folks, I’ve officially made it - I’ve been followed by the New York State grid operator NYISO. You know, only the team that keeps the lights on for the biggest city in the nation! I try not to let the electricity go to my head. Let me know if you do control room tours @nyiso.com ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #energysky

I will keep making memes until this crisis has abated #energysky

There’s only one clean energy superpower on earth, and it’s not us. #energysky

Good news!

Gov Hotchul directs NYPA to build new nuclear reactor of 1 GW. All potential sites are majority owned by Constellation. #energysky www.wsj.com/business/ene...

lol you know you’re too deep on the grid when the targeted LinkedIn transformer ads start coming #energysky

If we ever get building transmission again in this country we’ve got to do some cool designs like this.

Governor Shapiro announces $25 million in funding for solar on PA schools #energysky dced.pa.gov/newsroom/sha...

Can anyone in #energysky explain what in the world NET CONE means in the context of PJM markets? I really don’t get it

According to Mark Christie, New Jersey is down 2.6 GW of generation over the last 10 years, meaning they’re reliant on imports (and their power prices are about to go through the roof). They still have a plan to build 11 GW of offshore wind but that’s not happening under Trump? @jessedjenkins.com

This FERC RTO/ISO resource adequacy conference is my Super Bowl #energysky www.youtube.com/live/OGMmmjh...

President Trump nominates Laura Swett to be the new FERC commissioner after Marc Christie. Laura is currently a lawyer at Vinson & Elkins and has done work for the oil and gas industry on pipeline litigation #energysky 1npdf11.onenorth.com/pdfrenderer....

Good reminder of where most US electricity comes from today, Hay Road Gas Power Plant in Delaware has 6 Siemens Gas Turbines and 2 GE Steam Turbines for a total nameplate capacity of 1,193 MW

I’m very grateful that my tax dollars funded the fantastic DOE Liftoff Reports, even if you can only access them via yard sale now #energysky

It doesn’t get enough press that authoritarian manufacturing superpower has built a complete monopoly across the critical energy inputs needed to win the century while we’ve mostly twiddled our thumbs and shipped ad-tech. Democratic-aligned countries should LOOSE money to re-shore this #energysky

Damn, this is way worse than I thought #energysky

Draft House R legislation repealing large parts of IRA Clean Energy agenda is out: punchbowl.news/wp-content/u... #energysky

6 MW Vestas Onshore Wind Turbines parts staging in the port of Baltimore today! #energysky

This Apple ruling must have @reckless.bsky.social at a Green Bay packers win the Super Bowl level of excitement. Maybe an emergency Vergecast episode is in order? What do you think @davidpierce.xyz

EIA: "The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024." www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... 🔌💡

Badass solar+battery portable microgrid here on the whiting turner job site #energysky #greensky

IBEW President Kenneth Cooper, “Demand for skilled electricians has never been higher. Infrastructure investments, expanding energy technologies like wind and solar, nuclear, new high-tech manufacturing centers, means our economy is hungry for a new generation of electrical workers.” #energysky

PJM interconnection queue nerds will enjoy this new report from Synapse Energy Economics illustrating that electricity costs will rise by 60% in the PJM region by 2040 without queue reform. www.synapse-energy.com/sites/defaul... #energysky

Good news after a crazy week! Google is partnering with PJM to help bust through the interconnection queue. Glad someone was working on this, huh @jessedjenkins.com #energysky insidelines.pjm.com/pjm-google-t...

My great grandfather mined coal, had a third grade education, never owned a car, worked on his hands and knees, was paid based on the weight of coal that he mined that shift. He was a kind man who grew strawberries. He died of black lung from the mine. Coal is deadly. #energysky

4.5 GW of new nat gas turbines are planned for AI data center in Pennsylvania on Marcellus Shale field. SEVEN GE Vernova turbines and seemingly no solar or batteries. On the site of a former coal fired power plant - this is bad for the climate #energysky www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

I don't generally praise investor-owned utilities, but DTE is showing that it's serious about energy storage. But it's not out of the kindness of their hearts. It's because they need to comply with a Michigan state law. State policymakers deserve credit. www.utilitydive.com/news/dte-ene...

Charging at the solar carport makes me feel ENERGY DOMINANT 🇺🇸⚡️🫡 #energysky

#energysky ELECTRIFYING news out of software startup Pearl Street Technologies that’s automating interconnection process studies for MISO. They cut the interconnection study time from two years to just TEN DAYS in their initial results! See the FERC letter here www.ferc.gov/news-events/...

🔌💡 New S&P study “exec summary” predicts US electricity demand will surge by 35-50% between 2024 & 2040. An additional (net) 730-765 GW of renewables, 160-175 GW of storage, 60-100 GW of gas, and 10-25 GW of nuclear and geothermal needed by 2040 to maintain grid reliability.🤯 bit.ly/USNationalPo...

I’m no musk fan, but you can’t deny he got the last laugh on not being invited to the Biden EV summit huh @karaswisher.bsky.social

Good news for @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and the LPO team; Chris Wright says “We inherit a loan book and we follow the rule of law. So we’ve got to manage that loan book and follow the rule of law and do the best we can for the American taxpayers” - sounds like the closed loans are safe #energysky

It is endlessly frustrating to hear how #PJM needs new gas because they can't rely on all the variable sources in their queue. Their *record* of variable generation as a percentage of load? A measly 24%. ERCOT is 76%. SPP is 90%. MISO is 44%. Come on PJM, you can do better! #EnergySky

20 House Republicans sign letter urging the party not to repeal "sector-wide energy tax credits" and "avoid undoing... private sector investments which will continue to increase domestic manufacturing, promote energy innovation & keep utility costs down" subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=000001... 🔌💡

Heyo!

Energy nerds & policy nerds, please enjoy three hours of sweet sweet subcommittee hearing content on meeting electricity load growth across the country, featuring the legendary @tnorris.bsky.social #energysky www.youtube.com/live/rSS8U9w...

Paid a visit to Utah's nearly completed Faraday Solar Project. It'll be the largest solar farm in the state (>600MW) yet it's kinda under the radar, not yet listed at EIA or SEIA. Supposed to come online later this year and sell the power to Meta for its server farms. See alt-text for details. 🔌💡

I didn’t realize that the United States is still the largest oil consumer on earth and just how much higher our consumption is compared to other countries. China only now reaching our level of consumption and they have 4x as many people 😮 #energysky #greensky

Every single state in the sun belt should be figuring out how to replicate the ingredients to the massive solar boom in Texas. Makes every other state look like a chump. #energysky #greensky
