Folks, I’ve officially made it - I’ve been followed by the New York State grid operator NYISO. You know, only the team that keeps the lights on for the biggest city in the nation! I try not to let the electricity go to my head. Let me know if you do control room tours @nyiso.com ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #energysky

The company spent $1.4 billion to expand the factory, which previously made electric vehicle batteries. At full capacity, the new lines will produce 16.5 gigawatt-hours of lithium iron phosphate cells per year. 🔌💡

Can anyone in #energysky explain what in the world NET CONE means in the context of PJM markets? I really don’t get it

According to Mark Christie, New Jersey is down 2.6 GW of generation over the last 10 years, meaning they’re reliant on imports (and their power prices are about to go through the roof). They still have a plan to build 11 GW of offshore wind but that’s not happening under Trump? @jessedjenkins.com

It doesn’t get enough press that authoritarian manufacturing superpower has built a complete monopoly across the critical energy inputs needed to win the century while we’ve mostly twiddled our thumbs and shipped ad-tech. Democratic-aligned countries should LOOSE money to re-shore this #energysky

When they set out to make their power supply 100% green, Northwest leaders ignored the fact that the region lacks the wiring to deliver new sources of renewable energy to people’s homes.

Little has been done to change that, ProPublica and @opb.org found.
