We can unlock about 30% more capacity from the grid we have already paid for at a cost of about $10B. This includes dynamic line ratings, network topology optimization, and other common sense solutions

Deploying these solutions at scale could support almost 100 GW of higher demand when deployed individually. Lots more capacity possible when you deploy them together – well above NERC’s forecasts for demand growth (which will be updated higher soon).

This report covers twenty technologies across the transmission and distribution system. There’s a solution for energy challenge here – no excuses not to start looking at how to

More importantly, with extreme weather events/wildfires, these solutions can improve grid reliability and resilience. Distribution reliability solutions like
#FLISR
could help reduce grid outages 10-20%.

We will spend over $100B in new generation and $23B in new grid investments each year. A subset of these solutions would cost $10B by 2030 -- so they aren't expensive and are quick to deploy. Deploying
#DLR
at scale across the US would be less than $10B and support ~30% more…

In the liftoff series at DOE we leverage the work we did in 2021 showing we need 2,000 GW of generating capacity by 2050 (lots of
#solar
,
#wind
, &
#storage
) but also need 700-900 GW of additional clean firm capacity by 2050, next-gen
#geothermal
and
#nuclear
are two great choices…

Thank you 🙏
It has been my honor to work amongst the smartest people in my career doing the most important work we can do right now!

You can certainly just connect the load and abandon your clean energy commitments. But feels like a heavy lift after a commercial like this one with

Data Centers are actively trying to get 25,000 MWs of interconnections by 2030. Could be they get way more compute from that fixed load, but no amount of efficiency changes the applications into the utility for grid connections in direct competition with manufacturing connections

Not really. You can add an AP1000 (or 2) to almost every one of our existing 54 nuclear sites across 28 states. It is true that we don’t want to be building single unit AP1000s at retiring coal plants. Also many export markets wants this design instead of importing LNG.

Honored.
As Carbon War Room president, Jose Maria Figueres, has said, “There is no Planet B.”
I learned a lot from Richard Branson. He is thoughtful, smart, tenacious, and every bit a capitalist. The tension between his good work at Virgin Unite and his desire to build the next…
