My Energy Inst blog today on how much utilities should be obligated to accommodate new large loads: hyperscale server farms and crypto mining. Current paradigm puts risk on incumbent customers and gives new large loads very costly option on utility service.

Is there a “Duty to Serve” Hyperscale Loads?
If we don’t rethink the paradigm for new large electricity customers, they could end up burdening existing ratepayers. Nationally, and in California, electricity demand from the grid has been flat …

Yesterday, @astridatkinson.bsky.social and I were invited to share Camus' POV on Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and ISO/RTO coordination with the MISO DER Task Force.

Lots of great questions, leading to a fun convo.

Yessss! Let's go PG&E. Headline mentions data centers, but early progress is on high-powered EV charging and FTM batteries.

Flexible interconnection / service connection is the way. 🥰

Exclusive: The utility has been piloting a way of getting new load online faster — but it’s proving tricky.

There is *so much* need to help utilities speed up interconnection for EV fleets. I’m impressed by the speed of deployment for these chargers, but running on nat gas is disappointing.

Let’s use flexible interconnection to get at least some clean energy into these EVs! electrek.co/2024/05/23/t...

Already lots of great insights and 🌶️ takes from #DERVOS.

Excited to see how much this industry is growing and evolving — plus always nice to reconnect with the inspiring people who work in it.

Building out more transmission capacity = absolutely necessary to decarbonize.

But it's time we scale up demand-side solutions (hello virtual power plants) too!

A nice op-ed in @tdworldmag that's worth a...

Not sure if EVs are coming?

Standing room only for rural EV adoption and Ford’s F-150 Lightning at @NRECANews’s TechAdvantage says otherwise.

Lots of concerns though about how to upgrade transformers and reconductor lines given ?? rates of adoption and long supply chains.

I love #cleanenergy industry discussions but my highlight of the #BERCenergysummit has to be @leahstokes and Tasha Reddy (of CCL)’s discussion of the Green New Deal and carbon pricing.

Thanks so much for joining @UCBERC today!

Just spent all my money at our Haas charity auction on:
1) rock climbing 🧗‍♀️
2) cheese 🧀

Not sure what that says about me, but it feels right.

Loved hearing Xavier Helgesen from @ZOLAElectric share his story for #WattItTakes. Thanks @JoinPowerhouse for a great event!

Worth a shot: Does anyone know of a quick list of zip codes mapped to ISO/RTOs? (OK if those outside of ISO/RTO markets are null or excluded) #energytwitter

Took a short break from #energytwitter to go out and explore this beautiful world of ours. Re-energized for the fight against climate change. #Rainier #FindYourPark #Summited

Turning to #EnergyTwitter for help understanding a couple questions on U.S. capacity markets. Hopefully one of the much-smarter-than-me energy experts can share some brief knowledge with a relative newbie.

Love this @axios chart showing how an increase in U.S. oil production doesn’t necessarily mean savings at the gas station. #globalmarket #visuallearner
