Been a little, but link to the IRS guidance for when construction begins for wind and solar. I know Chevron deference is gone, but if it was still around I wonder what happens when both congress and a federal agency give unclear guidelines... defer to memes?

Is the love island finale going to be noticeable on the power grid tonight? Like how tea kettles used to spike the UK power grid during TV breaks

SEIA analysis of the "Big Beautiful" house bill. Looks pretty grim and bad for the country. Link to the 10 slides below (not the prettiest slides, but interesting information).

Factory and job charts are quite eye catching about halfway through the deck

Is it pretty easy for RMR plants to decide to not retire? Wondering from a capacity market standpoint. Many thanks in advance for any links/insight

#EnergySky 🔌💡

⚡️ 🔌 Looking at the RRI program from PJM, does anyone have a sense of what happens if a capacity bid doesn't clear for any of the required 10 years? Or are they price takers?

🧵 Some big personal news: After four years apart, I'm reuniting with @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and @cleangridview.bsky.social for a new podcast, called "Open Circuit."

Genuine question that I don't intend to be snarky: Does Bain have any actual energy modeling expertise or capabilities? Seeing them cited this much in Julianne Malveaux's utility dive article was surprising. #EnergySky

Does anyone have a good link for PJM's full RIR program? Seeing great articles and old powerpoints, but would appreciate the real thing (or a draft of it)!
