Proud to be a part of building the future of the grid!

[Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy @DOEelectricity]

The Eastern and Western U.S. grids are getting a powerful new connection. ⚡

Montana’s North Plains Connector funded by DOE will help to move electricity to where it’s needed most, strengthening reliability and supporting energy affordability nationwide. https://t.co/vvT3ulVhai

taking preorders now

[Tyler Norris @tylerhnorris]

The problem isn’t “ending subsidies.” It’s:
1) Abrupt termination after major capex is already sunk
2) Cutting eligibility at an arbitrary in-service cliff, blowing up project pipelines
3) Imposing extreme, unworkable FEOC rules that ignore supply chain realities
4) Slapping an excise tax on our fastest-to-deploy resources
5) Doing all this amid spiking demand, tariffs, rising grid upgrade costs, & permitting bottlenecks

desperately need ride shares to create the option to select a “fragrance-free” ride. these car air fresheners are out of control. tired of getting a raging headache every time I need to travel for work @Uber @lyft

.@RobGramlichDC says the grid between the east and west US is like “tiny little soda straws connecting two Olympic swimming pools."

Great article from @jtemple about why we need/how we'll get more interregional transmission lines:

[Rob Gramlich @RobGramlichDC]

WOW this permitting bill is great! I think the #transmission parts (I'm focused just on that, others can comment on the rest) could really help grow the economy, meet load growth, increase reliability, and help decarbonize. Here’s why. 🧵 1/10

[James Hewett @JamesHewettDC]

This is a great story. My company is an investor in several of the companies on this list…

BUT this list needs to include several more interregional transmission projects like North Plains Connector!

Crossing RTOs is cool, crossing interconnection seams is even better.

@atx_markstover My 1 year old puppy seems to not remember what rain is and is having the time of her life outside right now.

Planned battery storage capacity is now 71% higher in #ERCOT than a year ago. Don't believe anyone who says the competitive market isn't delivering dispatchable megawatts. The price signals are there; no need to pay generators more. #txlege #energytwitter

@RemadnaKXAN No power since Wednesday morning at 5 am. Most of our neighborhood is in the dark as well. 78745

@TIFINN Saw you on my FYP for the first time and got GIDDY

[Michael E. Webber @MichaelEWebber]

Texas doesn't believe in gov't. So we understaff it. Which makes gov't underperform. Which makes Texans not believe in gov't. So we understaff it further. And so forth.

Right-sizing the staff to oversee a grid the size of England's seems like an appropriate thing to do.

More than 6,000 Austin Energy customers currently without power, after storms swept through the Austin area. Working to get a confirmed cause of the outages.
