Excited to see hitachi energy announce this new manufacturing plant of large power transformers in Virginia! We need to supercharge US grid manufacturing. #energysky www.hitachienergy.com/us/en/news-a...

Folks, I’ve officially made it - I’ve been followed by the New York State grid operator NYISO. You know, only the team that keeps the lights on for the biggest city in the nation! I try not to let the electricity go to my head. Let me know if you do control room tours @nyiso.com ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #energysky

Honestly, I think there’s a chance that electricity prices rise so much it offsets the loss of PTC and ITC. Of course it’s consumers (me!) that will pay the difference.

I will keep making memes until this crisis has abated #energysky

Sick

Frickin awesome!! Congrats :)

Has anyone built RNG at scale?

There’s only one clean energy superpower on earth, and it’s not us. #energysky

I’m jealous

Thanks for posting all the stories! I do read the headlines you post

Remarkable

lol you know you’re too deep on the grid when the targeted LinkedIn transformer ads start coming #energysky

I want to be optimistic as well, but slowing growth is a hell of a lot different than decline.

If we ever get building transmission again in this country we’ve got to do some cool designs like this.

Can anyone in #energysky explain what in the world NET CONE means in the context of PJM markets? I really don’t get it

According to Mark Christie, New Jersey is down 2.6 GW of generation over the last 10 years, meaning they’re reliant on imports (and their power prices are about to go through the roof). They still have a plan to build 11 GW of offshore wind but that’s not happening under Trump? @jessedjenkins.com

President Trump nominates Laura Swett to be the new FERC commissioner after Marc Christie. Laura is currently a lawyer at Vinson & Elkins and has done work for the oil and gas industry on pipeline litigation #energysky 1npdf11.onenorth.com/pdfrenderer....

Seems like something @cleanpowerdave.bsky.social would know

I appreciate it Kevin, I’m pointing out that PJM, the largest grid in the country, is significantly behind this level:

845,823 GWh across PJM in 2024

14.5% coal
44.5% gas
0.5% oil
32.2% nuclear
1.9% hydroelectric
3.7% wind
2.1% solar
0.6% other

Total fossil = 60%
Total non-fossil = 40%

Good reminder of where most US electricity comes from today, Hay Road Gas Power Plant in Delaware has 6 Siemens Gas Turbines and 2 GE Steam Turbines for a total nameplate capacity of 1,193 MW

This is an underreported piece of the pie
