Hydropower operators can save money on turbine repairs and maintenance, and add revenue by adding battery-type energy storage systems.

NextEra Energy Resources and Meta have partnered to secure approximately 2.5 gigawatts of clean energy contracts through 11 power purchase agreements and two energy storage agreements, marking a significant milestone in advancing American energy infrastructure. The partnership will support the development of nine solar projects across three key markets, generating up to 2.1 GW of clean energy while creating jobs and stimulating local economic growth, with total construction jobs estimated at up to 2,440 over the next two years.

The U.S. Department of Energy has launched a $625 million initiative aimed at revitalizing the American coal sector, providing critical support for energy output and economic development in coal-dependent communities across the nation. The investment will focus on various projects, including recommissioning and retrofitting efforts, rural energy affordability initiatives, advanced wastewater management systems, dual-fuel retrofits, natural gas co-firing systems, and addressing regional grid security concerns through emergency orders related to metallurgical coal designations.

Reviving America's Coal Industry: A Path to Energy Dominance The Trump administration has taken significant steps to revitalize the use of coal as a primary energy source in the United States. By signing executive orders, the president has effectively ended the Biden-era coal moratorium and directed federal agencies to foster coal-powered development. This move is seen as a crucial step towards fulfilling President Trump's promise to reduce energy prices and make America energy independent once again. According to Wayne Christian, RRC Commissioner, revitalizing American coal production is essential for meeting the growing demand for electricity in Texas. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) predicts that Texas will need 100,000 MW of new power by 2030, a 40% increase from current levels. Revitalizing coal power can help address this demand while keeping energy costs low and ensuring a reliable supply. The United States has an abundance of coal reserves, with at least 422 years' worth available for use. Using every bit of these resources could provide cheap, reliable energy to consumers. Coal has been a trusted energy source for over a century, making modern life possible. However, the shift towards wind and solar power, driven in part by radical environmental groups, led many coal plants to close due to "woke" energy policies. The Railroad Commission of Texas plays a vital role in regulating natural resources and ensuring the environment, personal safety, and economic vitality for Texans. With over 100 years of experience regulating the oil and gas industry, the Commission also oversees alternative fuels, natural gas utilities, surface mining, and intrastate pipelines.
