A headline that would have sounded ridiculous 10 years ago:
"Georgia now ranks seventh in the country for total installed solar capacity, with almost 7,300 megawatts generating enough electricity for 843,000 homes across the state" https://t.co/8gttfQauam

Some more context on the RGGI program, @GovernorVA's desires, the judges' thoughts and environmental and Democratic lawmakers calling the ruling a victory.

Some big news out of small devices!

@nrgenergy is expanding its Virtual Power Plant by partnering with Renew Home & @googlecloud, with a goal to enroll 450k customers by 2030 on VPP-enabled rate plans through Texas' open electricity market.

We brought utility companies, school administrators, & students of Louisiana’s eight Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) together for a utility workforce summit.

This sector needs the talent of HBCU students & these students deserve quality jobs here at home.

The Inflation Reduction Act's $20B federal 'green bank' program has just issued its first loan: $31 million for Arkansas solar developer Scenic Hill. The goal? To show how pre-construction financing can boost smaller-scale solar in underserved markets:

The comment period on CenterPoint's $800 million mobile generators that were unusable post-Hurricane Beryl was originally scheduled to end today; the @PUCTX extended it until August 2. #txlege #txenergy

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

"None of those generators have been put in service since CenterPoint first began renting them in 2021." There is a public comment period open now on these unusable $800 million generators. A public hearing will be held if requested by Thursday. #txlege 1/

Let's talk about the generator interconnection queues. (That's British for "line"). Queues are run by balancing authorities (usually RTO's, or utilities) to line up study requests for connecting to the grid. In the southeast, we've got lots of queues. #energytwitter

It's been a month since @SecretaryPete stood in Elba, AL flood-damage Shiloh community that never flooded before US 84 Highway was expanded into 4 lanes and elevated, placing the community in a bowl. He and other @USDOT officials promised to help. Time to act. @BullardCenter

You've probably heard about Georgia Power's incredible load growth and their plans to add more gas power plants. Today, intervening parties, including SREA, filed testimony in the docket. Let's do a thread but start with some background...https://t.co/gihbzhSfsP
