Thanks to Frank Jossi for recognizing co-op innovation. Way to go MN cooperatives!
Co-ops emerge as clean grid laboratories | Energy News Network https://t.co/vXiIv0hb1G
From @WSJ: @FormEnergyInc claims breakthrough in long-duration batteries https://t.co/uOEf9J3IPF Form Energy’s first project is Great River Energy’s long-duration energy storage pilot project in Cambridge, MN.
Great River Energy plans major power supply changes to reduce costs to member-owner cooperatives. We will phase out remaining coal resources, add significant renewable energy and explore critical grid-scale battery technology: https://t.co/fKfcSfzSnr
“Using renewables to drive large-scale electrolyzers, which extract hydrogen gas from water, could reduce the cost of power from those systems to as little as $24 a megawatt-hour by 2030 and $15 by 2050, according to BNEF.”
We had a great ribbon cutting ceremony at our third solar installation. Attendees rode the electric bus and learned about solar which tracks the sun throughout the day to increase output. Thanks to all who attended. @PatGarofalo@SenatorDraheim@SchmittyandSons & others.
Big growth in EVs in MN last year - registrations almost 2x from May 2018 to April 2019!
Check out the new @MnDOTnews EV Dashboard (https://t.co/2tkQHTxcyD) for data on types and locations of EVs in MN. Note: map not viewable on mobile devices
Local, fresh, tasty, safe, efficient produce, grown indoors - coming soon to near you. What a concept! GRE and member staff and had a visit from GroShed today and sampled from Lettuce Abound Farms - two MN operations. #indooragriculture#electrification#buylocal
Electric water heaters can save consumers money, act as a grid resource, and reduce emissions. The latest in RAP’s #BeneficialElectrification series explains how. @RegAssistProj https://t.co/e9pis7hbLV
Heating homes with heat pumps, driving electric cars and pushing charging till midnight hours are among the strategies for reducing greenhouse gases in Minnesota, according to a McKnight report. #electriccars https://t.co/snOzbXRJyl
Cumulative passenger EV sales are set to hit 4 million this week and the next million EV sales will take just over 6 months. We expect the five-millionth EV to be sold in March 2019.
