I don’t know much about Swiss electric system.
Most of California’s electricity grid is outdated. For example, the c hook that broke and caused the Camp Fire in 2018 was 100 years old.
Old electric grid + drought is really bad combination.

FWIW it definitely doesn’t feel like “we’re all in this together” here in SoCal

The head of the CT public utility commission is an absolute baller, in the running to be my favorite public official in this country: www.volts.wtf/p/a-connecti...

This seems like an incredibly efficient government program that will meaningfully reduce lots of people’s electric bills.

really important point. The inevitability of DER deployment doesn’t ensure it will happen equitably, status quo it won’t. Better regulation/legislation is needed.

Agree. Lots of people working hard to accelerate ASAP. Political volatility in US not super helpful.

This is already happening at scale, led by major property owners & REITs…“prop tech”, check out @fifthwall.bsky.social…over the next decade the market will force most landlords to embrace

Because landlords are going to figure out how to make $ by providing distributed energy resources to tenants, and it’s going to be a feature tenants want.

Putting it a the substation level means you’re still subject to utility T&D charges, which will be the biggest driver of electricity cost over time. It will be cheaper to have your own panels/battery behind your own meter.

A buddy once told me that the most effective way to prepare for working with a PUC is to become a New York Jets fan 😂

I agree, but IMO it’s not an intent thing. In almost every case, regulators are incapable of doing the job primarily because of systemic inertia and a lack of resources. We’ve been saying “regulators need to regulate” since I joined this industry and it’s gotten worse not better.

Can we get a shift key episode about this? I thought your episode with @severinborenstein.bsky.social was great, but if the math is off by $10B/yr that seems pretty important to discuss.
