PNW states have been working for years to get Bonneville Power Administration to staff up the transmission planning function to get us access to power. DOE laid off five new employees this week. None funded by taxpayers. Stupid and senseless.

@tnorris.bsky.social Thanks for the work on flexible loads for data centers. It's great to see the analysis of potential to avoid capacity (MW) additions. But I wondered about the energy (MWh) requirements of the added load. Is this load met with greater dispatch of existing thermal resources?

Crazy that the Musketeers would shut down faith-based community service organizations serving America.

Washington State needs to site, build, and interconnect lots of new clean energy facilities. We've got three new reports to help policy makers understand the problems and sure through the solutions. First: deptofcommerce.app.box.com/s/j8g02vl2lm...

I would encourage everyone to take a close look at the election results in Washington state. The vote was overwhelming to retain the cap and invest program. It got more votes than VP Harris and more votes than any of the winning statewide elected officials.
