This site has lost effectiveness at helping me communicate with the people I represent, and elevates people, opinions, and engagement that is harmful to communities and lives.

Please feel free to catch me on BlueSky, or by email, or in person instead.

@flintforoppd @OPPDCares @sandhillsenergy Benefits from a larger grid exceed costs, generally through sharing lower cost generating resources and resilience during stress on the grid.

PPAs have been used in Nebraska to access financial incentives that were available only to entities with tax liability.

[Eric Williams @WilliamsForOPPD]

Very glad to have more solar coming online to meet growing demand in our community.

Much appreciation to the dedicated staff at @OPPDCares and @sandhillsenergy who worked together to make this happen.

OPPD is taking another step to expand its generation portfolio with a new utility-scale solar project in Nebraska.

[Eric Williams @WilliamsForOPPD]

@flintforoppd @OPPDCares @sandhillsenergy Project location is relatively close to OPPD's service territory, and transmission capacity is available to deliver the power as studied by SPP prior to issuing GIA.

Generation closer to load has benefits, but it's a tradeoff with land price/availability close to the urban area.

@duncancampbell I see the Horse and Buggy industry is out shouting in the streets again

@curious_founder Wait until you hear about how many (few) MWs of storage are in SPP…

🙄😡

[Eric Williams @WilliamsForOPPD]

Yo @DER_Task_Force, @James_McGinniss, @duncancampbell, @cmetelitsa I’m gonna need some advice finalizing the outlines of the program.

@ArushiSF I’d like to follow up again since our conversation a while ago.

Thanks @JigarShahDC for joining us virtually last week.

[Eric Williams @WilliamsForOPPD]

I am excited about this, #PublicPower is doing distributed capacity procurement. #DERs #DCP

"However, he said he is glad the resolution moves the utility toward more distributed energy resources, which typically include measures such as rooftop solar and battery storage."

I want coal out of my district. OPPD needs to be supporting, encouraging, and installing clean energy on homes and businesses. This will increase reliability, decrease costs, and provide resilience.

I'll continue this work immediately in January.

Director Williams "voted against the resolution, saying he has supported the removal of coal since before he was elected and cannot approve guidance to utility leaders that allows its continued use."

@SimonMahan Maybe it will be a good costume in the 2040s, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Eric Williams @WilliamsForOPPD]

@SimonMahan If you buy this costume, it'll arrive several years later than you expect and cost much more than advertised.

[OPPDStorm @OPPDStorm]

As of 5:45 am, over 70% of reported outages have been restored. 300+ mutual aid workers have arrived, & hundreds of replacement poles are coming today. We’re committed to restoring power as safely & quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

This is the way

Let's build wind, solar and batteries ASAP while we wait for natural gas power plants to come online.

@SimonMahan We need more policy to put that clean energy to beneficial use,
