I work on energy transition issues in Texas. I'm an urbanist and a proponent of mass political movements. Too many ideas, not enough time.

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

Cheap power brings new industries. Higher demand leads to higher prices which leads to more solar + storage and cheaper power again.

I featured the @TexasTribune's TribCast with @Ericwg on how Texas' growing power demand and supply in my R&P Picks; link in reply. #txenergy

@juliogatx Obviously the right move

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@ZachBDell @basepowerco I’m having visions of people standing and clapping. Congratulations.

@duncancampbell @ProfSchriemer The tank was storage the whole time. Potential energy gang.

[Duncan S. Campbell @duncancampbell]

We took an new industrial site in CA off-grid with solar, batteries, and gas.

Everyone said it wouldn't work.

After over a year of operations:

✅ faster and cheaper than grid interconnection
✅ positive savings (net of PPA and fuel)
✅ majority clean power
✅ 99%+ uptime

@jacob_mays @jabbauer @DER_Task_Force @James_McGinniss @BPBartholomew The capacity market advocates change what they like every year. It’s hard to pin them down!

Today it’s a post #Dervos trip to Dallas

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@juliogatx Yes we can! Microgrids can help with both of those indirectly and provide revenue instead of just costs. A tree hitting a line is less impactful if you have resources on the other side of the line too.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@drvolts We’re getting things done!

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@James_McGinniss Sad I ended up missing it!

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@JigarShahDC Coordination will be critical. That time we built massive pipelines, interconnected utilities together so they could serve shipyards, and had a unified industrial policy.

STAY TIL THE END OR DIE TRYING

Our final panel of the day will be on Power Markets:

@James_McGinniss will be joined by @jacob_mays of Cornell, @BPBartholomew of Rev Renewables, and @ericwg the ERCOT DERs wizard to figure out what the hell is happening to power markets.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

Someone should figure out a way to get some factories built…

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

It's official. Electrical components have now been in short supply for four straight years.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@AKMcGlinchy Seems like Austin Housing Finance Corp could do some lending here and get some wins by financing some affordable homes with less parking. AHFC has a lot of wiggle room on how they lend and invest.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@RepCasar I'd love to have all this attention on Haiti result in some real reform in how the US treats Haiti and Haitians refugees. We should have done it decades ago but we can do it now.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@duncancampbell getting someone doing this work in Pakistan on the pod would be pretty dope.

[Mark R. Stover @atx_markstover]

Solar power is growing in TX and so is TSPA. Excited to bring Bri to the TSPA team. Her experience and relationships will serve us well in the Texas Capitol. Look forward to working closely with her, John Pitts, Jr. and the member company lobby team. #txsolar #txenergy

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

@duncancampbell I assume all the induction stoves inside are fully dispatchable.

[Eric Goff @ericwg]

This will be so much fun.
