Clean Firm is showing up in the @California_ISO 20 year outlook. 6 years ago @JesseJenkins coined the term and urged us to consider the need for clean firm, and now we are planning Tx for it!
Super excited to see @BrianCDeese get jazzed about advanced conductors! He’s one of my favorite thinkers and an architect of the investment approach the country has been on.

So great to see @California_ISO include advanced conductors as a solution for congestion in the latest 20 year outlook. Tesla-Metcalf 500 kV! Lots of 230kV in the Bay Area, and Round Mountain (up north) too. caiso.com/InitiativeDocu…
#CREPC MT commissioner just asserted that building transmission the West needs would take all the steel in the world and cost three times the US GDP. Folks, that’s off by about three orders of magnitude. US GDP is $30 Trillion.
Oh thank god. @benserrurier showed up at CREPC. Let the games begin.
Sad to not have @benserrurier not live tweeting CREPC-WIRAB. He would have called out BPA for dissembling on seams.
2024 will be a huge year for solar! Supply chain kinks appear to have been worked out. New solar on the grid *this* year - e.g. just in the last 3.5 months (from @grid_status records) @ERCOT_ISO 5 GW @California_ISO 2.3 GW @MISO_energy 2.5 GW @pjminterconnect 1.7 GW
Other RTO's - "It takes 8-13 years to plan, permit and pay for transmission" - @ERCOT_ISO "Hold my beer"
This headline about solar in California from @washingtonpost has strong "The economy is doing great, which spells trouble for Biden" vibes. The headline is "Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem." washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
Who’s excited for the FERC order? This is what’s going on my in house…

"Saying that we shouldn't build wind and solar because electricity is expensive in California is like saying we shouldn't build houses because housing is expensive in California." Good line.

"Electricity is only 13% of primary energy!" Okay, but 38% of primary energy goes to - making electricity. If you want to talk in terms of primary energy, you have to look at the energy that goes into generators. That's what primary energy means - energy before conversion…
Primary energy is wrong, but not how you think. Primary energy gets criticized because it doesn’t take into account the losses that occur when converting and delivering energy. This makes fossil fuels look like they do more work than they really do because most of that energy…
ERCOT is projecting a new May record on Wed., May 8, with a peak of 72 gigawatts. ERCOT is also projecting an all-time solar record on the same day of 19 gigawatts. The highest demand days are typically the hottest — and sunniest — days. #txlege #txenergy #energytwitter
The "cost of intermittent renewables" is borne - by intermittent renewables. Wind and solar get paid less per unit of energy because they don't get to choose when to produce. A wind turbine gets paid less per MWh than a power plant producing constant output 24/7. A power plant…
It really is that simple. All you need is an open market. Batteries are profitable. They respond to price signals. Let's make it easy for people to put them on the grid.
@Hello_World Peak load was 85 GW. Net peak was 70 GW. In which scenario do you need more gas? Most of the cost of fossil fueled generation is fuel. Wind and solar reduce both the amount of gas capacity needed and the amount of fuel.
We do not build "baseload" plants for capacity. We specifically choose to spend more money upfront and get less capacity per dollar in order to save on fuel in the long run. We do this because most of the cost of a fossil fueled generator is - fuel. We build low-capex…
I cannot believe this even has to be said, but having more wind and solar means you can use less gas to meet the same demand. On the left is demand in ERCOT (the grid that serves most of Texas) in 2023. On the right is demand net of wind and solar. Peak demand was 85 GW. Peak…
