“Virtual power plants can respond quickly to deliver power or shift load, making the most out of our existing grid... and lowering costs for everyone.” -Edson Perez @advancedenergyunited.org pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/09/15/v...

“Many of the states with the largest increases in wind and solar generation since 2010 — including Iowa, New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma — have seen rates rise slower than inflation” — @energyinnovation.org heatmap.news/energy/renew...

Seems like a great way to create an energy crisis.

I really enjoyed this conversation with @jael.bsky.social about how the advanced energy industry can meet the moment, provide solutions to our energy challenges, and chart the path forward in states and regions, where @advancedenergyunited.org has a track record of success. 💡🔌

This Energy Department report is cited nearly two dozen times in the EPA's rollback of the endangerment finding and some of the claims are, well, let's look at a few of them

govt and corporate savings > consumer savings (not to mention all the health problems this will cause/exacerbate)

Yeah, the rollbacks are bad – as Harry & @sarahsteinberg.bsky.social explain – but they also ID opportunities for industry growth, and share where they're optimistic about the road ahead. 🎙️ Thank you @sarahbaldwin.bsky.social @energyinnovation.org for having @advancedenergyunited.org on the show!

Clean energy is ready to go. But it’s stuck in line. United's Policy Director Jon Gordon breaks down the challenge facing PJM in this @canarymedia.com article ⤵️ buff.ly/D4smugj

“There isn’t going to be a gas fired generator any time soon,” Tillis said. “You can’t get that online and the same time that [renewable] pipeline’s going down.” First time GOP opposition over this made public in Senate debate on the reconciliation bill.

Senate Republicans would like to light hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars on fire for no reason other than spite by forcing the Postal Service to mothball EV delivery vehicles and rip out already-installed charging infrastructure. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

‘Throwing us off a cliff': Megabill could derail hundreds of planned clean energy projects www.politico.com/news/2025/06... POLITICO analysis: 794 planned clean electricity generation facilities — 3/4 in GOP districts — that could lose subsidies under the House bill. The Senate is debating changes.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is actually One Big Expensive Bill that, if passed as is, will do major damage to the U.S. economy, harm workers and families, and put the U.S. in the backseat when it comes to global competitiveness. The team at @energyinnovation.org modeled it, here's what we found:

As written, the tax package passed by the House would abruptly cut critical advanced energy tax credits, putting billions in investments and thousands of American jobs at risk. These changes undermine our energy security and threaten the economic momentum driven by advanced energy deployment.

A cheeseburger uses a lot more water than a ChatGPT request 🍔 Actual farms, not the data center variety, are sucking up groundwater more quickly than surface water, explains @markgongloff.bsky.social 🎥

Disappointed in the first proposal out of Ways & Means. This will undercut American energy abundance and will harm American consumers. 💡🔌 blog.advancedenergyunited.org/articles/adv...

Advanced Energy United's Ryan Gallentine spoke to @thehill.com about announced funding pauses, saying they are creating confusion and “the other practical impact is that a lot of the private capital that’s flying to these projects gets frozen up.” More here from @rachelfrazin.bsky.social ⤵️

Today we are launching a new website that tells the story of how advanced energy companies are using smart tax cuts to unlock 🔓 American energy abundance, open new U.S. manufacturing plants, and lower household electricity costs in states across the country!

It's also unclear how much of the current problem is simply that the RTOs have so badly mismanaged interconnection queues that we simply cannot bring online sufficient capacity no matter what the market prices are! That seems to be what drove capacity prices up in PJM in 2024.

#SolarForAll lowers energy costs for low-income and disadvantaged communities. By withholding these funds, the Trump administration is costing us jobs and savings. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

Reminder to my energy friends that the announcement today rescinds the Monday OMB memo but did not rescind the IIJA/IRA freeze memo. Still a ton of advocacy that will need to be done on that front.

This NYT article re the Administration’s “energy emergency” is a good one, and not just because I’m quoted! “A freeze on investing in the technologies we need to power our grid and vehicles threatens our ability to lower costs, create energy abundance, and win the race for global energy dominance”🔌💡

Advanced Energy United CEO @honeill.bsky.social shared her insights this week with the @nytimes.com on the White House’s new executive orders and the uncertainty they cause for the businesses that are lowering energy costs and increasing grid resiliency. Read more: hubs.ly/Q033DPPF0

State governments will need to take up the mantle of moving the country forward on renewable energy. Here is some of what they have in store this year.

The U.S. needs to rapidly scale up the grid to bolster both #CleanEnergy and economic growth. The new administration may stall progress despite bipartisan support. Via @jeffstjohn.bsky.social @canarymedia.com #EnergySky

A good one on @nytimesoped.bsky.social from Azeem Azhar on the need to reform policies holding back America's ability to upgrade our #electric grid. 🔌💡 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/28/o...

Faster interconnection of the 2,000+ gigawatts of wind, solar and batteries waiting in interconnection queues is also how we meet rising demand from data centers, EVs etc most rapidly and affordably. Clear the queues and let it rip.

"I think what you'll see in the future as this load grows faster than we can deploy new power plants, is we have to get much smarter about using power when we have surplus and reducing power when we don't and we can do that with financial incentives." - Neil Lakinof Voltus. 🔌💡

Power needs in #California are met in many ways. Among them is a virtual power plant by Voltus that pays energy users to reduce or shift their power consumption. Great story by @abc7.bsky.social on the power of #VPPs. abc7.com/post/virtual...

Big problem, tough solution set, but solutions need to happen ASAP. Thanks to @cwayner.bsky.social for detailing it so well and for @dangearino.bsky.social for explaining it so clearly!

Advanced Energy United has a new report out on interconnection reform. Effective interconnection reform would increase deployment of renewables 60% by 2030 and 90% by 2040! State-specific data and full report here: blog.advancedenergyunited.org/reports/inte...

Big win for clean energy in MA! Lots of good stuff in here for accelerating the energy transition! Let’s all celebrate these wins - they make a difference. 💡🔌 blog.advancedenergyunited.org/articles/mas...

This is a fantastic statement of support for advanced transmission technologies from all the nation’s state utility regulators!

Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act would kneecap America's manufacturing renaissance: -Hand $80 billion in investment to China + other competitors -Cost US $50 billion in lost exports -Close factories, cut jobs, slash tax revenue www.netzeropolicylab.com/trump-retreat

I need help answering this question: Who wrote the energy policy speech that Trump read last month at the Economic Club of New York in which he called for a "National Emergency declaration" to achieve a "massive increase in domestic energy supply”?? www.woodmac.com/blogs/energy...

Thanks Adam. Oh man, we have a lot of work to do! But such good and necessary work. Don't get tired, get inspired!

States will move us forward on clean energy and transport. Expect meaningful progress in states over the next four years. We are in the midst of an energy transformation that is unstoppable! 💡🔌https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/politics/after-trump-win-its-up-to-states-to-lead-on-climate-action
