A remarkable week for renewable energy records across US grids. Thanks to @gridstatus.io for info Source: www.gridstatus.io/records New all-time highs for renewables on 4 regional grids ! #energysky

Ireland is getting #greener.

BYD plans mass production in 2030. Obviously this would be a game changer. #energysky electrek.co/2025/06/20/b...

1) The records keep falling on the California grid @californiaiso.bsky.social . New renewables peak record - 29,040 MW at 3:10 PM on Thursday. Notes: - Demand at 3:10 pm was only 25,992 MW. - Two years ago, the record was only 23,457 MW Source: www.gridstatus.io/records/cais...

🔌💡 #Coal used to be the cheapest form of #electricity generation in the U.S., but now it is cheaper to build new #renewables capacity than to keep existing coal plants running. www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/19/1...

BNEF takes the under on US data center load growth (43.5GW of new capacity by 2035) due to "real-world constraints like interconnection delays and build timelines" - underscoring market opportunity for faster connection via flexibility. 🔌💡

Interesting things are happening in US coal markets right now. Overall, production is up slightly in the first quarter while employment is still trending downward: www.spglobal.com/market-intel... 🔌💡

Big jump in renewable generation record for ERCOT yesterday. Renewable generation went over 43GW for the first time - hitting 43,208 MW - representing about 58% of total output. This record has increased by 13 GW in just three years! Source: www.gridstatus.io/records/erco... #energysky

CAISO set a new Renewables peak generation record yesterday at 28,242 MW at 1:05 PM. The load at this time was only 21 GW, so this record would not have been possible without recent growth in battery capacity. Source: www.gridstatus.io/records/cais... #energysky @californiaiso.bsky.social

Battery discharge over 10GW on CAISO. Nice. It will be interesting to see if future capacity continues to move towards peak and/or spreads out the discharge to more than four hours.

Surprised at this chart, but not. Was recently in Munich, and there were many Teslas floating around. Quite a few actually. There’s a Tesla factory in Germany. Yet no Tesla breaks the top 20 in the whole country last month, or the past three months. Elon really burnt this company’s image down.

Tesla who?

Battery storage is beginning to play an important role on the Southwest United States grid. 2,346 MW - Sat evening - 7:00PM Let's see if battery storage can be the No 1 source in Spring 2026. #energysky #WesternGrid Source: www.gridstatus.io/eia/SW?date=... Thanks to @gridstatus.io !

How often do your projects finish nine figures under the projected bid? “project was completed for approximately $700 million, well below the original estimate of $800 million at the time of financial close in 2023” Probably due to significant drop in cost of battery systems.

Reviewing China's Nuclear Generation China has 60.96 GW of nuclear operating & 33.65 GW under construction. China's goal is 110 GW by 2030, making it the global leader in nuclear capacity. China approved at least 10 units in each of last 4 years. #energysky www.neimagazine.com/news/china-a...

Good news for clean electricity in Europe.... #energysky www.enerdata.net/publications...

ERCOT set a new solar peak generation #record yesterday - 27,036 MW. Thanks to @gridstatus.io for info. Below is a chart showing annual peak generation milestones for the Texas grid. The peak generation record should hit 30,000 MW later this year. Perhaps 50,000 MW before 2030?! #energysky

EDF recently reported #nuclear output numbers for France for Q1 - 2025. 102.7 TWh up 6.4% Y-Y. Good results. Nuclear output could surpass 400 TWh in 2025 - for the first time since 2015. #energysky

For the first time, fossil fuels provided less than half of U.S. electricity generation for a full month (March 2025). One more milestone in the energy transition. oilprice.com/Energy/Energ... #Upshift

Last Friday, solar generation exceeded 21 GW on the CAISO grid for the first time, setting a new record of 21,363 MW. Note: At the time, the load on @californiaiso.bsky.social was only 18,190 MW. Thanks to @gridstatus.io for the info. Source: www.gridstatus.io/records/cais... #energysky

Oil prices... How low can they go? #energysky

I wonder how many under-construction reactors China can handle simultaneously? Build times are currently 5-6 years. That would mean 50-60 reactors under construction. PRIS currently has 28 reactors listed as under-construction in China pris.iaea.org/PRIS/Country...

Check out some great info on the recent ERCOT fact sheet, including over 30GW of installed solar and a solar penetration record of 56.6% in March 2025. #energysky Source: www.ercot.com/files/docs/2...

1) A couple of records were set on CAISO - @californiaiso.bsky.social grid yesterday. New Maximum renewables - 27,431 MW. This comes with another more interesting record... Source for below :https://www.gridstatus.io/records/caiso?record=Maximum%20Renewables Thanks @gridstatus.io

CAISO continues to build out its battery storage. I expect this record will surpass 12,000 MW by Sept/Oct. @californiaiso.bsky.social #energysky One other note: similar to rooftop solar, consumers in CA continue to add battery storage to their homes. This is not included in these stats.

Good to see...

New record for solar on @californiaiso.bsky.social - CAISO Solar generation goes over 20,000 MW for the first time! New record = 20,818 MW at 10:55 am on April 11th. A big jump from the previous record - 19,624 MW. Note: demand at 10:55 am was 19,217 MW - so solar provided over 100% of load!
