The Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X™) enables simpler, faster, and fairer interconnection of new energy resources on distribution and transmission systems while enhancing the reliability, resiliency, and security of electric grids. Learn more at emp.lbl.gov/interconnect....

Join a free i2X webinar to discuss innovations in allocating interconnection-related costs for distribution upgrades among beneficiaries for economic efficiency. September 29. With panelists from @Mass_DPU, @NMPRC1, @New_Leaf_Energy, and @Current_Energy_. Register at lbnl.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Learn more about how these mechanisms create an ongoing laboratory to test innovative ideas for advanced grid technologies, respond to changing grid needs, and document impacts, benefits, and lessons learned. Download the @BerkeleyLab report at emp.lbl.gov/publications.... 5/x

Advanced grid technologies don’t easily scale under traditional regulatory approaches. “Regulatory sandboxes” allow utilities to test innovations in a structured environment and rapidly scale successful approaches. Our new report talks about how to do that. <THREAD> 💡🔌

Join @BerkeleyLab and state experts for a public webinar on August 13th, at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific. Register at naruc-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi.... The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity supported this work. <end>

I'm Jewish, named after my uncle who was executed by the Nazis in a forced labor camp in Poland. My gradfather died in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Trump's use of antisemitism as a smokescreen to underminine free speech and destroy academic research is reprehensible. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/p...

Accidental truths: The Trump/Musk Crime Syndicate is bankrupting the US government and driving down its value and reputation the way Trump bankrupted casinos and Musk blew $44 bn on Twitter so he could destroy 80% of its value.

We'll also be holding a webinar on this subject next Wednesday, January 15 at 2 p.m. EST. Sign up here: lbnl.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Berkeley Lab's work on Integrated Distribution System Planning (IDSP) is featured in this month’s edition of Public Utilities Fortnightly magazine! The article explores benefits and key challenges, identifying tools that can be used to address barriers. www.fortnightly.com/fortnightly/...

FERC Order 1920 sets requirements on planning and cost allocation for new transmission. State officials can learn about 1920 at a free educational session offered by DOE, NARUC, NASEO and national labs. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iiulrtyDT8y49O6o2ICWgw#/registration
