Caltrain #electrification has been a huge success. 🔌💡 🔌🚗

California CCAs (Community Choice Association) have plans to add almost 10 GW of New Build resources over the next four years. More to come. @calcca.bsky.social 🔌💡 Source: cal-cca.org/california-c...

it's awesome to see that @calcca.bsky.social has a #Blueskybutton in their newsletter. Next up: encouraging the rest of their members to set up a Bluesky account.

We are starting to see several California energy organizations participating in BlueSky. More to come. @avaenergy.org @mcecleanenergy.org @calcca.bsky.social @sonomacleanpower.bsky.social @svcleanenergy.bsky.social @californiaiso.bsky.social @californiapuc.bsky.social @calenergy.bsky.social

More choices for #EV buyers... #energysky 🚗🔌

We thought this was a good inaugural post for us on Bluesky... 🎉As of this month, we've officially saved our customers $145 million through annual bill credits ($40mil) & discounts from being on Bright Choice service ($105mil). Here's to building a cleaner, more affordable energy future together 🤩

Ava Community Energy - @avaenergy.org - a California Community Choice org for Alameda County is now on BlueSky. Hope to see many other CA CCAs follow. 🔌💡

Updated our Clean Energy Organizations Starter pack with some new arrivals. Check it out and give some of these folks a follow. 🔌💡 go.bsky.app/ERdmw9D

The MISO grid has passed 1,000 MW milestones in solar generation at an insane pace lately. Passed 9,000 MW for the first time on 02/13 and crossed 11,000 MW a week later. 🔌💡 @jrfhanger.bsky.social Thanks to @gridstatus.io for the info. www.gridstatus.io/records/miso...

Battery discharge was the No. 1 fuel source on @californiaiso.bsky.social - CAISO grid - yesterday for over 2 hours - from 5:10 PM - 7:15 PM. Will we eventually see this occur for 8+ hours after the sun sets? Source: www.gridstatus.io/graph/fuel-m... #WesternGrid 🔌💡

Best news in my feed here today!

The "Big 4" - Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and META dominate the #datacenter market. @jgkoomey.bsky.social 🔌💡 www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...

Maybe Toyoya is starting to get serious about EVs... 🔌🚗💡 electrek.co/2025/02/18/t...

Well that didn't last long! Solar blew through 10,000 MW on MISO grid yesterday. Source:https://www.gridstatus.io/records/miso?record=Maximum%20Solar Thanks to @gridstatus.io for info.

The #records keep falling. A new record for ERCOT yesterday as #solar generation hit 24,307 MW at 2:05 PM - Big jump from previous record - 22,305 MW - A year ago, the solar record was 16,668 MW 🔌💡

This looks like one of the better #virtualpowerplant implementations out there. - Currently 10 MW of enrolled capacity - another 13 MW in the queue - Xcel seeking permission to expand to 125 MW 🔌💡 www.utilitydive.com/news/enphase...

CAISO - @californiaiso.bsky.social have released their year-end 2024 Statistics page. Worth a quick read - plenty of good factoids. Ex: 4,190 MW of battery storage was added. Source: www.caiso.com/documents/20... 🔌💡

Solar generation passed 9,000 MW for the first time on MISO this Thursday - 9,065 MW at 3:25 PM. This was more than 2x the record for solar one year ago. 🔌💡 Source: www.gridstatus.io/records/miso...

New solar project for Arizona. Solar; 300 MW Battery: 300MW/1200MWh Go-Live: 2027 Customer: APS #WesternGrid 🔌💡 www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2025/02/ariz...

Did not realize prices were dropping this fast. Note: this should say euro vs dollar but exchange rate is 1.05 so not much difference. 38kWh or 58 kWh battery options. electrek.co/2025/02/14/v...

More renewables for #datacenters. 🔌💡

Dang! What's the cost of batteries for these cars?

Great to see this. #evfleets
