On Saturday, batteries set a new record in ERCOT, supplying 9% of power on an evening w/ high thermal outages & low wind. Prices spiked to near the max for 5 minutes, 4,300 megawatts of storage surged onto the grid (and demand went down ~2,000 MW) & things went back to normal. (h/t @gridstatus.io

Energy folks, can you spare two characters to make sure all your energy friends can see your posts? Remember to tag your energy posts with #energysky or the emojis πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ for it to show up in the Energysky feed! & now you can catch up on the daily top #energysky posts here! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Learned some things today thanks to this good thread πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

A recent study finds long-duration energy storage is essential to getting more clean electricity on the grid, and could dramatically cut power prices during times of peak demand. πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ grist.org/climate/long...

Attention energy folks! 1) Still seeing many not using #energysky, leaving their posts unseen - please nudge them! 2) Reminder to pin the EnergySky feed to your homepage by clicking "Pin to home" here: bsky.app/profile/patr...

Lol blueskyroast.com, I feel like I need to make this powerpoint now just for giggles.

Calling all Macro Energy Systems enthusiasts. I created this macro energy systems starter pack. Featuring @jessedjenkins.com @gruberte.bsky.social @jfdecarolis.bsky.social @patricia-levi.bsky.social #energySky Let me know in the comments who I missed and I'll add them. go.bsky.app/TTnoSNL

This is gonna be cool for all the energy modeling nerds out there - happening Dec 4th @ noon Pacific. Some heavy hitters in the lineup! #energysky

Energy Exemplar has got another thing coming if they think this is how to stay competitive with open source models. This just tells me that the open energy modeling community is onto something! πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

Filed in Satisfying Saturdays: These lil cups nest so well πŸ₯Ή and boring holes is so fun. Just gotta decide on the lid strategy now. πŸ€” Weekend ceramics time is good for the soul

Clicking thru 2 months of reposts of this meme traveling through different communities was both entertaining and totally worth it for this unfortunately relatable finale πŸ˜‚πŸ™ƒ

I need a feed that is just this starter pack STAT Please tell me there’s a nontedious way to do this…

Hey ppl of #energysky : there's been issues lately with properly-tagged πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ posts not showing up in the feed. I'm hoping it has to do with site growing pains. Working on it! I know it's important that this feed works for all of us :D If you see this issue, please tag me w deets of how you posted

Finally removed the Hellthread filter from my skyfeed settings for energysky... feeling nostalgic haha

Hey @skyfeed.app, users of the EnergySky feed I maintain have been reporting that it seems to be many posts with the correct tags - it should include every post with 'energysky' (case insensitive) or 'πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘', but @gregor.us has been running some tests that aren't getting picked up. Any ideas? πŸ™

MA’s Clean Energy Bill, passed late last week, has a great bit for the big batteries crowd: a procurement mandate for 5,000 MW of energy storage by 2030, 750 MW of which must be long duration storage (defined as 10-24 hours) and 750 MW of which must be multi-day storage (defined as 24+ hours) πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

New favorite feed. First post rn is penguins chasing a butterfly. Happy Friday!! bsky.app/profile/did:...

As an Indian, as someone who lived in Egypt, and who has, modestly, remained committed to my politics despite that, here are my rules for living under fascist regimes: 1) Focus on organizational structure. 1/

the reason we’ve finally fully made it as an app is that even the people who are posting about how much Bluesky sucks are doing it on Bluesky now

I wrote this a few days ago β€” it’s a busy week so I didn’t do much editing, but people are finding it very handy in getting their Bluesky groove on. If you have friends who need some help or you haven’t figured things out yet, hope it helps:
