$6b is just 1% of electricity bills. You ignoring that federal tax cuts can absorb this impact.

Grid modeling is difficult

though... guess you right on MISO. prices there have been much higher than what i see for lower 48.

also, think its do more w/ solar/wind costs reflect new build w/ higher T&D costs, while coal/gas is either operating or brownfield ops (like in Duke Indiana RfP)

Pls speak w/ any level ten employee. their data is based on PPAs they help broker.

also check LBNL data on delta between third party PPA prices like level ten or trio

This is levelten data for corp PPA, which as I said earlier is inflated due to demand outstripping supply. Also corps going on levelten platform don’t have the negotiating power. Utility RFPs yield a much lower price

From utilities

No. New contracts are back to 30-40 range, maybe slightly up due to interest rates
February 15, 2025 at 2:26 PM
agree on capacity value. But renewables haven’t become expensive, corporate PPAs are expensive because of high demand and limited supply. The cost to build solar, wind and batteries has been deflationary even compared to pre COVID levels

So u r saying its economics driven decision, they getting paid more for baseload power or capacity than in the past? And the delayed retirement is not due to delayed net zero plans?

@edmondmichelet.bsky.social looks like you know the answer. Wanna enlighten us

Nvidia is at 39x 2025 EV/EBITDA.

Tesla energy could be = $3Bx39 =$117B

So a tenth of their market cap!
February 14, 2025 at 8:00 PM
Alrite… let’s take a crack at it. We need two numbers - 2025 EBITDA and EV/EBITDA.

They prob at $1.5B EBITDA in 2025 (25% gross margin, 10% opex). Let’s assume 2026 grows like 2025. So $3b in 2026.

The multiple is an art. let’s assume batteries sell like crazy like NVDA’s chips.

February 14, 2025 at 1:13 PM

February 13, 2025 at 4:07 AM

February 13, 2025 at 4:02 AM

Agree… ability to use roof solar when grid is down is the incentive
January 27, 2025 at 3:06 PM
General practice for new admin or they don’t want interconnection innovation?
