California could nearly double generation capacity using surplus interconnection: UC Berkeley report The authors say about 16 GW of thermal capacity — dominated by gas — is operating below a 15% capacity factor, making it ripe for adding solar, wind or storage.

California has the potential to almost double its clean energy generation by tapping into surplus interconnection capacity. No new transmission lines required.
At SunSpec, we build the digital framework to make integrations like this scalable, secure, and interoperable. #energysky

A reflection on Intersolar Europe/the smarter E:
🌐 Standards Divergence Is Holding Us Back
Across Europe and beyond, fragmented standards and self-declarations are creating serious pain points. There is a clear need for a harmonized framework. This is where SunSpec brings unique value! #energysky

Wind and Solar are the Cheapest Sources of New Electric Generation – With or Without Subsidies - Enerdynamics Despite common misconceptions in the industry and in the public, wind and solar are the cheapest sources of new electric generation with or without any subsidies.

Did you know that wind and solar are the most cost-efficient sources of new electric generation, even without subsidies from state or federal government? #energysky
