This is a really good idea (especially because many non-profit newsrooms like us over at @highlandscurrent.bsky.social have matching grants through the end of the year thanks to NewsMatch.)

Everybody come back here on Nov. 30th and recommend a news outlet that you think people should subscribe to!

This data center will be built with battery storage — a first that will help it come online far sooner than if it had waited to connect to the grid.
In a first, a data center is using a big battery to get online faster
Aligned Data Centers will pay to build a 31-megawatt battery, an early example of how AI developers can move fast if they’re willing to be flexible.

Because PJM uses an outdated interconnection process it take forever to get approval. Bottlenecked supply: Only 3 GW of new generation was added in 2022 and 5 GW in 2023 — nowhere near enough to meet new demand from data centers.

If they copied Texas with connect and manage they could accelerate.

@advancedenergyunited.org agenda for states is simple:
👷Build it
✨Make it flexible
💲Make it affordable.
My call to action for our industry is to engage NOW in states and regions so that decision-makers understand how our industry can help them meet the moment.

The kicker is claiming this will save money, when the EPA previously estimated limiting car and truck emissions "is expected to generate more than $2.1 trillion in net benefits over the next 30 years, including $820 billion in fuel savings and $1.8 trillion in public health and climate benefits."

Yeah, the rollbacks are bad – as Harry & @sarahsteinberg.bsky.social explain – but they also ID opportunities for industry growth, and share where they're optimistic about the road ahead.

Senate Republicans would like to light hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars on fire for no reason other than spite by forcing the Postal Service to mothball EV delivery vehicles and rip out already-installed charging infrastructure. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A little-noticed part of Trump’s tax and immigration package would see the U.S. undo billions of dollars in electric vehicle investments by the Postal Service.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is actually One Big Expensive Bill that, if passed as is, will do major damage to the U.S. economy, harm workers and families, and put the U.S. in the backseat when it comes to global competitiveness. The team at @energyinnovation.org modeled it, here's what we found:

As written, the tax package passed by the House would abruptly cut critical advanced energy tax credits, putting billions in investments and thousands of American jobs at risk. These changes undermine our energy security and threaten the economic momentum driven by advanced energy deployment.

It's also unclear how much of the current problem is simply that the RTOs have so badly mismanaged interconnection queues that we simply cannot bring online sufficient capacity no matter what the market prices are! That seems to be what drove capacity prices up in PJM in 2024.
