Great @jonchesto piece on challenges facing the #offshorewind industry. Supply chain issues are real, & highlight the need to address the next challenge - #transmission - so that the industry can snap back & achieve the needed scale and pace of deployment.

Surprising headline may hold some truth as #transmission is needed to access least cost #renewableenergy and keep costs down.

Massachusetts Undersecretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Judy Chang noting that MA and New England have reached the limit of connecting each #offshorewind farm to the grid individually.
Sounds like a we need and OceanGrid!

(2/2) Relying on credits from distant wind or solar farms also understates the need for #transmission infrastructure to build out and integrate #renewableenergy in every part of the country. Only buying green power to match actual usage 24/7 from the local grid is truly green.

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

Reducing a company's climate impact requires buying LOCAL #renewableenergy. Credits for wind farms in Texas don't help the New England or California grids go green. (1/2)

When building a grid for #renewableenergy it help to have a blueprint. @nhpr takes thoughts from @Nature_NE's Sarah Jackson and @dartmouth's Amro Farid on a Blueprint released by @Renew_NE on Monday. https://t.co/PMTDsRXUOr https://t.co/zAnXnZvOkN

Some welcome good news:

Timely report from @Renew_NE, as I listen to Commissioner Willie Phillips address #NECPUC: "3 near-term priorities: #transmission, transmission, transmission" https://t.co/wwoCgOZHX3 https://t.co/0JePJwN4lA

Great to be at @EnviroLeagueMA Earth Night recognizing the Commonwealth's environmental leaders.

@jeffroy cited the redevelopment of the former coal plant site at Brayton Point with manufacturing of #transmission and interconnection of #offshorewind as an example of the benefits to Massachusetts' economy of #cleanenergy. #mapoli

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

Listening to @MassGovernor describe the benefits of #offshorewind and getting #transmission right at the @statehousenews MA Net Zero event. #mapoli

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

At the Pacific Offshore Wind Conference listening to Travis C. Douville of @NREL note the benefits of networked #transmission (i.e. ocean grids) to scale #offshorewind efficiently.

@tomems8 Tom congrats! You started advocating to make #DaylightSavingTime permanent in MA almost 8 years ago and now it's just a couple of steps away from happening.
Bravo!

This is what proactive #transmission planning looks like, and should be a model for New England states to achieve the region's #climate goals.

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

@jonchesto And we'll need a lot more clean power to charge the batteries. #Offshorewind, #Onshorewind, and #Solar are all facing grid constraints that require new #transmission. We need to get started building clean infrastructure now to meet climate goals and strengthen the grid. #mapoli

[Peter Shattuck @petershattuck]

@jonchesto Thanks @jonchesto. We certainly do need to pick up the pace. In the 3rd quarter of last year alone California deployed 2,744MWh of energy storage. Massachusetts...45MWh!? California is bigger, but we can do better.
