Would love to hear your thoughts if you have a chance to read it @jessedjenkins.com @tnorris.bsky.social

Thanks!

On the weekly PA Solar call this morning, there was a lot of conversation about the broad uncertainty we face.

Hopefully we get some clarity sooner than later 🤞

That’s what has me pulling my hair out. I’m a one man shop starting from the ground up. 40-50 year exclusive site control, most projects qualify for net metering, $35/ MWh SREC rates, 40% ITC, but struggling to raise the funds to pay for engineering & interconnection studies

I’m already struggling just to secure development capital for projects that total 100MW, I see this uncertainty as only complicating things

Honestly, that’s what concerns me. The sheer uncertainty. Everything I’ve read and my attempts to be optimistic have cautiously neutral. It seems like the politics make massive changes impractical, at least in the short term. However my more pressing concern is surrounding access to capital.

Hey @heatmap.news @jessedjenkins.com @tnorris.bsky.social really could use some optimism on how we can succeed in this next chapter

Which part?

If I had any qualifications and wasn’t some self learned cowboy, I’d 100% apply

The economic impact of using locally produced power is greater than imported power. Every dollar that stays in a community has a multiplier effect. Parallel industries appear. Energy abundance means cheap power and that is a massive driver of economic growth

True. A lot of voices want to treat it as zero sum. You can argue about what’s wrong or celebrate what’s right. You can’t build momentum focusing on what’s wrong.

By demo, I mean “beta test” and provide feedback
