With "surplus interconnection", energy resources can move through the process hook up to the system in months rather than the typical 5+ years. @energyabe.bsky.social and I have a new report with GridLab on how to advance its use: surplusinterconnection.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/2025-02-21_G...

Good news — FERC approved the PJM’s fast-tracking interconnection plan 👏 The PJM estimates its initiative could bring about 10 GW online 18 months earlier opposed to the normal interconnection process. There’s a cohort of 50 shovel-ready projects in this initiative. #energysky #energytransition

Last week, a ~1 GW nuclear unit tripped outside of Pittsburgh. This is how the trip impacted grid operations in the following 15 minutes. Area Control Error swung nearly 3k MW in just 15 minutes as the system responded, remaining elevated as prices declined to below pre-trip levels. 🔌💡

The U.S. is paying more than ever for transmission. So why have long-range, high-voltage power lines that make power cheaper, cleaner and more reliable slowed to a crawl? Experts blame a "regulatory gap" in fed and state oversight — and they have fixes: www.canarymedia.com/articles/tra... #energysky

In December @rstreet.bsky.social, other consumer advocates, & industrial consumers filed a complaint at FERC seeking reforms in transmission planning (primarily aimed at the regulatory gap that grants monopolies easy access to rate hikes). Here's an explanation. www.rstreet.org/commentary/l...

💰 A powerful example of how a small change can generate HUGE savings for #monopoly #utility customers. A 0.5% drop in the utility's rate of return "will save American Electric Power customers $220 million through 2031." https://vist.ly/3mtk3yv 🔌💡 h/t @ethanhowl.bsky.social
