Sen. Martin Heinrich, minutes after announcing the Senate permitting deal: what it does for transmission, environmental review timelines, and DC costs, and why the weeks after the election may be its best window, on Critical Capital. https://t.co/cwQ50hA8gS
A bipartisan group of senators struck a permitting deal covering renewables, fossil fuels, and transmission lines.
A vote won't come until after the midterms, and Trump's position on solar and wind permits remains unclear.

Nuclear has bipartisan support, new contracts from tech companies, and the capital to build. What it needs, says Lara Pierpoint, is to be built on time and on budget.

Long interconnection queues and a lack of grid capacity are pushing C&I customers toward on-site power, and some plan to stay off the grid permanently.
@Stphn_Lacey and @Bloom_Energy's Aman Joshi on what data centers signal for the broader sector. https://t.co/pTuhLxZmWI
Large data centers are stuck in interconnection queues. Can edge computing ease grid bottlenecks? Live Dispatch with @ceboudreau, Sept 30, 2 pm ET: https://t.co/COJdiaxbqy
How 'Black Sand' could help build a domestic battery supply chain: Blue Whale Materials' David Fauvre on pre-processing, private equity, and how a fire reshaped the company's approach to safety. 🎧 On the new episode of The Green Blueprint. https://t.co/vUf6NdwJ2s
AI infrastructure demand isn't just a capacity problem, it's a design problem. Join us Oct 28 (1-2pm ET) for a look at 800V DC, carbon capture, and the power architecture decisions shaping the next generation of data centers, presented with @Bloom_Energy. https://t.co/wjucPfpQ7E
Uncertainty is now a daily operating condition for utilities. A new @Amperon
/@EYnews white paper looks at how a unified AI forecasting layer across planning, flexibility, and real-time ops cuts over-procurement and blanket curtailment.

There's an entire ecosystem no one gets to see inside data centers: the electrical architecture between the power source and GPUs. @Stphn_Lacey talks with @ShoalsTech about the shift to higher-voltage DC and the expanding role of batteries in AI campuses. https://t.co/YBsYmeBJDf
Zach Dell of @basepowerco on why electricity is a commodity, the cheapest version wins, and owning the supply chain is the only way there.
The fully landed cost is the number that matters. Solving for any one piece alone gives the wrong answer.
🎧 https://t.co/1A1O7mOW6T
As data centers, factories, and electrification push growth to unprecedented heights, customers are looking for greater control over their energy use. @Stphn_Lacey
talks with Kirby Brinlee (OG&E) and CEO Abhay Gupta, sponsored by Bidgely. 🎧 https://t.co/eJ7BlUmz9J

Data center developers have moved past whether to use batteries. The questions now are how to design, deploy, and operate them at gigawatt scale. @FlexGenPower's Kelcy Pegler and Hugh Scott join @Stphn_Lacey Oct 1 for lessons from the field. https://t.co/560I7S6hmE
American industry is building factories, mines, and grid hardware at a scale not attempted in decades. @espricewright of @a16z tells @Alfredijohns0n the real constraint isn't capital or generation, but time spent waiting on a regulator. https://t.co/Y325306PAS
Register now for a webinar on planning, building, and operating data center power on a constrained grid with @GridBeyond_'s Alden Phinney and Ben Sigrin, Sept 15, moderated by Latitude Media's Jenna Herzog. https://t.co/gZ6YR8vARG
VPPs are moving from niche to mainstream, but utility, regulatory, and market frameworks haven't caught up. Live from GridFuture, @Stphn_Lacey talks NRG and @CPowerEnergy
leaders on what's next. https://t.co/ki4ivnppxD
Political pushback to the NextEra-Dominion merger has spread north. Five New England gov's warned via NESCOE that the deal would concentrate "unprecedented" leverage in NextEra, reviving a 2021 fight over a Maine transmission line. https://t.co/idYkqPQLxJ
