My @marketplace editor, Eve Epstein, worked on this story with me while her power was out.
Our look at what the grid needs to weather the next several years, with analysis from @tcurwin @SimonMahan and @EnergyImpact_'s Peter Fox-Penner.

Natgas power plants rocked it last night in ERCOT, which was helpful as wind was at ~2 GW & solar at 0 GW.
I wonder if any battery storage was deployed--prices might have been too low?
I also wonder if gas from storage caverns was used or if real-time gas production kept up.
"The projects waiting to get connected represent more than the combined power capacity of all U.S. electricity plants."
I wrote about the strange bureaucracy of the country's interconnection queues. kudos to the excellent @emilypont for covering it first!

So #EnergyTwitter: it's widely understood that undergrounding electricity distribution lines is expensive. But how much of that is cost of digging trench? Say I was already digging up, tearing out an old gas distro line: how much cheaper would it be to lay cable at the same time?
Russia is selling more #LNG to Europe for the same reason as everyone: high TTF prices. The reasons why Russian LNG prices are lower in Asia is harder to discern: most is related to oil-indexed contracts, but some also seems sanctions-related, especially in India. #ONGT#natgas

Hi #EnergyTwitter -- anyone have a handy reference comparing the rules of pipeline permitting/build with transmission permitting/build? Presumably covers NGA, FPA, and related major FERC precedents
