FERC has approved interconnection reform - and this is *generally* good for the energy transition. That said the devil in in the details of how states and utilities implement these changes. Some improvements like penalties assessed against utilities for tardy studies, trying to clean out queue squatters, and expressly identifying certain technical flexibility into interconnection design are good. However, we have specifically seen "Cluster Studies" and higher financial security requirements stymie development and create very costly and endless loops of re-studies in many markets (utility and DG). Calling on American Clean Power Association (ACP) Solar Energy Industries Association and importantly state level advocacy and watch dog groups to closely watch and actively participate as the implementation of these changes occur at the state level PUCs and DPUs - ensuring proper accountability and fair play. https://lnkd.in/ewehaH52 NYSERDA New York Solar Energy Industries Association MID-ATLANTIC RENEWABLE ENERGY COALITION Renewable Energy Vermont American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) Smart Electric Power Alliance NECEC Cleantech Leaders Roundtable

Yesterday, the DOE released its latest lift-off report on advanced grid technologies – it’s a fascinating and compelling read with some surprising and powerful take-aways. I’m summarizing the highlights here, but I would definitely recommend at least checking out the executive summary for its clarity and conviction. You can access the report here: https://lnkd.in/gMuFwx3c Highlights and key take aways: We all know the grid is experiencing an unprecedented increase in demand: data centers, AI, electric cars and the broader shift to electrify everything is expected to drive 91GW of peak demand growth in the next decade. This risks reversing so many recent decarbonization gains if the default response is to build new gas peaker plants and defer shuttering of existing coal generation. As laid out by the DOE, multiple grid solutions that are commercially available TODAY could increase effective transmission & distribution capacity by 20-100 GW, in other words, potentially allowing us to fully meet the coming surge in demand without the need for new generation capacity These solutions can be deployed in UNDER 3-5 YEARS and at LOWER COST and GREATER VALUE than conventional approaches. The types of technologies being described here fall into four categories: 1) Advanced transmission (e.g., high voltage direct current); 2) Situational awareness and system automation (e.g., advanced distribution management systems); 3.) Grid enhancing technologies (e.g., virtual power plants); and 4) Foundational systems (e.g., system digitization). Sadly, though not surprising, the report also finds “adoption at scale and associated industry know how is lagging largely due to a lack of industry incentives and prioritization” In other words, even though investing in these available technologies is cheaper and more effective than sticking with the status quo, its not happening. The report powerfully reminds us: “ The mandate of the United States electric grid and of its operators is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable power to customers.” And "The U.S. transmission and distribution grid requires significant investment to address these accelerating trends and pressures." In this moment of disruption, utilities, regulators and grid operators have such incredible power to support and accelerate the green transition; not just in the fight against climate change, but simply to move us toward a more dynamic, resilient and cost effective grid. In the past, when demand was flat, incremental, risk averse, business-as-usual approaches to infrastructure and capacity investment maybe could work; but in a moment where the future looks nothing like the past, actual long term, system-level strategic planning and innovation is needed. From interconnection fees to cost-plus payor rates, its time for us to cast off the vestiges of last century's model of centralized generation and distribution, and embrace a new identity for utilities in the 21st century.

Going #electric at home may appear daunting and costly. However, with state and federal incentives, this shift becomes more feasible. DSIRE's (screenshot below) platform simplifies identifying available state incentives for renewable energy and efficiency initiatives. Companies like Rock Rabbit, EnergySage, Encentiv Energy, Opower, Rebate Bus, Sense, Enervee, Powerley, and others are demystifying these incentives, making them more accessible to homeowners.

Agrivoltaics: "not just dual-use, dual-value." Thrilled that Nick de Vries and his team are not only out there just doing it, but sharing what they learn. Solar development can be (and often is) done poorly, but doesn't have to be an either/or any more than your rooftop. It's all just about looking for synergies in harvesting highly abundant sunshine. https://lnkd.in/g54g6yDY

Nuclear needed in the energy mix! With an ever increasing energy need, new forms of nuclear power need to be part of the equation. While we wait for the next fusion breakthrough, let’s make sure that regulations keep up with innovations in the area. So called SMRs need a new form of regulatory approval process, good to hear that the IAEA agree: “For this business model to succeed, we need regulatory approaches to adapt to a new circumstance,” said Rafael Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “We cannot afford the luxury of these regulatory marathons lasting five, six, seven years.” Looking forward to see this in action! #energy #nuclear #sustainability #SMR #fusion #deeptech

🌞 Dive into the exciting news about the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) publishing a comprehensive guide offering insights into integrated resource plans (IRPs), helping us better advocate for residential solar array expansion! 🏡 ✔️ The NREL has released a comprehensive guide uncovering the often complex world of IRPs. ✔️ This guide serves as a fantastic tool for regulators, solar companies, or solar panel enthusiasts who want to understand and advocate for large-scale solar panel integration. ✔️ Three US states are leading the charge by mandating full transparency in their utility's resource planning. Recently, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) published an insightful guide giving us an elusive peek into the inner workings of integrated resource plans (IRPs)—plans utilities use to forecast their future generation capacity. The guide's primary aim is to aid a broad range of individuals, from state regulators to solar-lovers like ourselves, in advocating for increased incorporation of solar panels into our households. Traditionally, preparing these IRPs forms a crucial part of utilities' duties across the majority of US states. The plans are based on diverse data inputs, assumptions, and power system models. Thankfully, the guide is tiered to cater to both beginners and those more advanced, making this arduously technical subject more accessible. The guide has been warmly welcomed by industry experts such as Kirsten Verclas, the NASEO senior managing director, and Maggie Shober, the research director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. Furthermore, some states such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Michigan now demand absolute transparency from utilities in their resource planning. The guide will undeniably pave the way for wide-scale, equitable deployment of solar and storage resources. This will bring us ever closer to our shared aspiration of a sustainable future powered by our sun. For more information on selling solar virtually across the USA visit www.tstpros.com.

For anyone who will be at IEEE Power & Energy Society T&D Conference feel free to stop by our panel session on #EVs and #gridreliability. Will be an interesting cross-sector discussion including technology provider, independent system operator, and utility perspectives among others. E-mobility is driving the blending of Transmission and Distribution system planning, design, and operations. Particularly with the growing prevalence of distributed energy resources, IoT and grid-edge technologies, and virtual power plants (#VPPs).

#unavoidableopportunity #climateresilience investment now. "Separately, the Department of Energy is trying to help utilities squeeze more capacity out of the existing grid. That includes “grid-enhancing technologies” such as sensors that allow energy companies to send more power through existing lines without overloading them and advanced controls that allow operators to ease congestion on the grid. It also includes replacing existing lines with advanced conductors, which can potentially double capacity along existing routes. The Energy Department is currently offering $3.9 billion in funding that could go toward these and other solutions."

Hot off the presses! A new paper with Nick Laws and Maggie Chen -- "Valuing Distributed Energy Resources for Non-Wires Alternatives" Main takeaway: Distributed energy resources (DER) such as batteries -- regardless of whether it's the utility or homeowner who owns the system -- can reduce system operating costs and delay system upgrades for distribution systems. For example, using DER might help reduce how often local transformers might need to be upgraded. "We show that when valuing DER the operating costs over 20 years can be reduced by over 40%."

At Clean Energy Ventures, we believe decarbonization of industry is one of the most critical investment areas in order to reduce GHGs on a global basis. Thermal energy is an essential part of so many industries such as steel, cement, chemicals and just about everything in between. That's our thesis for investing in Electrified Thermal Solutions which differentiates itself by achieving the highest temperatures of any thermal energy storage solution, and doing so at a cost entitlement competitive with existing solutions while using zero-carbon electricity supplies. And, it doubles as a long duration grid-scale storage solutions too. It's not surprising that Fast Company profiled the company given its game-changing proprietary technology, extraordinary team, and major industry players leaning into partnerships. The future looks brighter! #climatecrisis #decarbonizeindustry #climatetech #electrifiedthermalsolutions #cleanenergyventures https://lnkd.in/e62WrvhQ

Investment bankers around the world are starting to pay attention to the growth potential of nuclear energy as part of the ongoing clean energy transition. A May 15 article in International Banker titled "SMALL MODULAR REACTORS ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR NUCLEAR ENERGY’S RENAISSANCE" highlights the reasons why customers want nuclear power as part of their energy supply. https://lnkd.in/eqhAvaZt A careful read provides a new perspective on the ongoing discussion about reactor sizes within the community of nuclear advocates. At a high level, the existence of a vibrant new sector of small and advanced reactors broadens the base of nuclear energy interest and support. If extra large reactors are the only product available, a large fraction of the world tunes out. Only the largest countries, companies and banks believe they can participate. But with near term availability of nuclear projects in a wide range of sizes, a substantially larger portion of the world's decision makers can begin to see nuclear energy expansion as something they should care about. Aside: "Decision makers" as a broad term that encompasses the smallest customers up to the world's most powerful politicians and everyone in between. End Aside. Broader interest in nuclear stimulated by new designs does not eliminate or even reduce interest in large reactors when those are the appropriate answer. SMRs and AMRs merely provide a welcome mat and a wide entry gate. #Uranium fission plays a key role in energy security, energy abundance and energy cleanliness. Its characteristics make it attractive for business, financial and political leaders from across a spectrum of priorities. Almost by accident, the International Banker article makes a compelling case for Japan to invest to regain its status as one of the world's most competent nuclear power plant suppliers, both domestically and for export. While Japan already has almost two dozen completed reactors that can be put back into operation in the next few years, their combined output is described as woefully insufficient to meet the nation's CO2 emission targets and energy supply needs. "If [reactor restarts are] successful, they can provide about 14 percent of Japan’s electricity mix by 2030, far from the government’s goals." The obvious answer would be "start building more now." In its prime, the Japanese nuclear plant construction industry was beginning to complete large modular reactors in less than 4 years. Money is the most important fuel for nuclear power development. When international bankers start paying attention, we're making real progress. Disclosure: At https://lnkd.in/e8GsSmTK we're professionally engaged in gathering monetary fuel and adding it to the nascent, high growth-potential advanced nuclear sector.

Lazard released estimates that the cost of utility-scale battery storage has fallen to $124 / MWh with IRA benefits. Battery storage is now competitive with Gas Peaker Plants, especially meaningful for 24x7 power consumers like data centers and industrial processes. Defining the value proposition vs. natural gas for these end users is about to get much more nuanced. Investors that understand how to navigate that will see opportunities others miss. #ClimateTech #CleanTech #BatteryStorage #BESS #DataCenters
