💡🔌Interesting read. The agreement earlier this month between Google & Brookfield Renewables is huge (3GW)! Lots of aging hydro facilities across the country & many existing large dams (for flood risk mgmt) that could be upgraded to also produce power. trellis.net/article/goog...
💡🔌Good stuff. Meta signs deal with Enbridge for Clear Fork, an enormous 600-MW solar project near San Antonio, Texas with an in-service date in 2027. ☀️ More please!

🔌💡Glad to see Meta and Invenergy expand their relationship with another 791MW of wind and solar deals (in OH, AR and TX). Good stuff! wwww.invenergy.com/news/invener...

🔌💡 Sixteen groups urged Senate Republican leaders to maintain language that allows companies to receive solar, wind and other clean energy technology tax credits when projects begin construction. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...
🔌💡Google & CTC Global partnering to accelerate the deployment of advanced conductors (i.e., transmission lines). Reconductoring is a great way to take advantage of existing rights-of-way to increase transmission capacity quickly. Just need states & utilities to step up! blog.google/feed/ctc-glo...
🔌💡Earlier this week, CEBA released additional NERA modeling showing the negative impacts on specific states if the tech-neutral tax credits are repealed. In addition to the 19 states originally studied, nine additional states were added (starting on slide #38). cebuyers.org/blog/clean-e...
🔌💡A voltage surge in southern Spain caused the widespread blackout on April 28 due to poor grid planning and shutdowns of key thermal power plants; officials dismissed renewable energy as the cause. Will this follow up story get some legs? www.bbc.com/news/article...
🔌💡Interesting to read that Chevron is following Exxon into lithium mining, 👀 www.mining.com/chevron-join...
🔌💡Having started my career in energy policy in the Western United States, I'm always excited to see geothermal get some attention. More please! 👇 www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...
My understanding is it was ... @robgramlichdc.bsky.social! 😅
🔌💡Interesting (and new) SAFE video that makes a national security argument for preserving clean energy tax credits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cASb...
🔌💡Excellent article! Glad to see my colleagues at the DCC weigh in with the Senate on the clean energy tax credit deliberations. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
I've spent some time recently with NERC's reliability assessments - it's interesting to look back over the last several years of reliability assessments and compare. There's a long-run trend of declining summer reliability risk nation-wide as regions have ramped up deployment. 🧵 #energysky
🔌💡Sharing a letter from 13 House Republicans urging Senate leadership to make favorable changes to the House reconciliation bill's clean energy tax credit provisions, d12t4t5x3vyizu.cloudfront.net/kiggans.hous...
🔌💡 Personal thanks to all those who made it tonight (even the FERC staffers who happened upon us while attending another event!). I very much appreciate all the cool work you all are doing! We have a truly terrific energy policy community here in Washington, DC! 🤓
🔌💡 This so cool. 😎
🔌💡 Great discussion with @volts.wtf and Sen. Heinrich (D-NM) at #CanaryLiveWashingtonDC! Discussed reconciliation bill (clean energy tax credits), need for permitting reform, energy tribalism, “unilateral disarmament”, political theory, & the current mood on the Left. Good stuff! 🤓
🔌💡 Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA), Chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus, speaking about nuclear, the reconciliation bill, need for permitting reform, DC politics … #CanaryLiveWashingtonDC
🔌💡 Harry Godfrey from AEU talking about their trade group’s “Unlocking Advanced Energy” campaign. 👍🏻
🔌💡 Constellation & Meta sign a 20-year PPA for the output of the Clinton Clean Energy Center to support Meta’s operations w/1,121 MW of emissions-free nuclear. Wasn't long ago these units risked retirement so ZECs were created and paid for by ratepayers. www.constellationenergy.com/newsroom/202...
Slide from REPEAT Project report says "Repealing tech-neutral tax credits increases electricity rates ~4-5% on average and as much as 24% in certain states."
Electricity Prices Are Surging. The G.O.P. Megabill Could Push Them Higher. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/c...
🔌💡
REPEAT Project work cited here finds repeal of clean electricity tax credits could raise retail electricity rates by 4-5% on average and over 20% in some states by 2030.
🔌💡 Terrific article explaining all the reasons repealing the tech neutral tax credits (or making them unusable because of unworkable provisions) leads to higher US electricity & natural gas prices! 🤨 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/c...
🔌💡Re-upping this for folks who are around in Washington, DC this Thurs, June 5. Come over after the FERC tech conference or your workday! @volts.wtf
🔌💡
🔌💡 🤔 applying Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) req’ts to tax credits is leverage policymakers have to move the clean energy supply chain away from China (outside of tariffs), but if done poorly & the credits become unusable, developers/manufacturers will chase the cheapest components from … China? 🤨
