Illinois: $1 billion in battery investment will save consumers $13 billion in capacity costs.
This is what @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and I have been talking about the past years. As capacity costs rise while battery costs plummet, we will see more of this.

I have a @nytimes.com op-ed today on managing power demand growth. Central point: load growth is an opportunity to *offset* upward rate pressure (and avoid gas overbuild), if we plan the system to make fuller use of infrastructure we’ve already paid for. 🔌💡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

10. States with more renewable generation tend to have somewhat lower prices, but it's a weak trend. A much stronger trend: Higher dependence on natural gas for electricity generation means higher retail prices. Gas prices often set wholesale electricity prices, which utilities pass through to us.

The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations spent four years propelling clean manufacturing and power projects. Now it’s been reduced to a shell of itself, and the U.S.’s clean innovation boom is fizzling out alongside it.

The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations had over $25 billion to help companies scale novel low-carbon technologies. Trump is working to erase it.

China shows what energy dominance might look like. Not only does China export more clean tech than US does fossil fuels, Chinese exports are (i) accelerating, and (ii) highly diversified across products & destinations.
This is a major warning sign for the US!
