🎙️ Excited to share my first appearance on @KleinmanEnergy podcast Energy Policy Now on interconnection!.🛠️ As electricity demand accelerates, we need to leverage all the tools available in our toolbox to keep the lights on reliably and affordably. 🎧

RT @ClaireWayner: #EnergyTwitter I'm excited to announce my first RMI report, "Mind the Regulatory Gap: How to Enhance Local Transmission O….

RT @USClimate: In a letter to @FERC, top officials from 15 Alliance states highlighted how Dynamic Line Ratings (DLRs) are critical tools t….

Four reforms to fix our ⚡️🔌 queues from AEU:.1) Adopt an interconnection entry fee for proactively planned capacity.2) Implement a fast-track process to utilize existing and already-planned capacity.3) Optimize the study process.4) Speed up the transmission construction backlog.

I know what you must be thinking. but what about the minerals!? Well we've thought about that, too. For more, check out my colleagues' latest report on six solutions helping reduce demand to a tiny fraction of extraction compared to fossil fuels! ♻️

There are a myriad of additional services such as black start and virtual inertia that batteries can provide ⚡️. In order to get the most of this increasingly-deployed resource, utilities and grid operators can:

Grid batteries can also provide stability services like frequency, voltage, and reactive power regulation. Last year, Texas entered into a grid-wide energy emergency alert due to an unexpected drop in system stability - batteries stepped in to help save the day🔋

Grid batteries aren't your average laptop battery - they can do much more. Their most well-known capability is balancing supply and demand, esp with variable renewables. But they can also ramp at some of the fastest rates around, like 8 GW over 5 hrs 🤯 on this day in California!

Renewable energy transition, demand increase, extreme weather, oh my! There are so many challenges confronting the "beating heart" of our economy - the electric grid - so we wrote this 101 on the most flexible and capable resource that can help! 🧵.

Excited to speak alongside some great colleagues at today's UtilityDive webinar on The US Renewable Energy Build-Out: Challenges & Solutions.Tune in at 2-4pm ET

RT @katie_siegner: Enter grid-enhancing technologies (GETs). Today, @drsarahtoth, @ChazTeplin, @kmmulvaney and I are releasing a new report….

The best time to proactively build transmission ⚡️ was years ago; but the second-best time is now! 🦌.

89% carbon emissions reduction by 2030 AND saving customers billion$ 🤑! Now that's the sort of climate-aligned utility plan that we like to hear. ⚡️.

Have you ever stood in a long line to get something and thought, "this is great!"? No? Turns out you're just like the unprecedented amount of new renewable resources trying to get connected to our electric grid!

Our new report is out: More wind energy and interregional transmission could have potentially prevented some of the rolling blackouts experienced during Winter Storm Elliott! via @RockyMtnInst.

RT @WilliamJRipple: The Scientist's Warning is a film about a researcher who started a movement of scientists to turn knowledge into action….

Every time I hear about the "next best thing" in climate tech I approach it with skepticism, and this is a great example of why. Reminder that wind, solar, storage, and transmission are here now, cost effective, and proven, and we still have a long way to go in deployment!.

When is the conversation surrounding the US's inability to act on climate change or literally anything these days going to finally pivot back to 2010 Citizens United when the US gave corporations rights to unlimited political bribery?

Our CEO Jules with the good vibes. Our decarbonization work at @RockyMtnInst continues to be more important than ever.

RT @ChrisMurphyCT: Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass….
