Check out Energy Frenemies: It's our new limited series podcast from @CleanEconProj with three unusual co-hosts: there's me, @aliyahaq the enviro veteran, Vijay Swarup the retired VP of @exxonmobil & @powellrich, CEO of @CEBAPower. On Apple, Spotify, & youtube.com/watch?v=jNuGZhUW…

Why do some clean firm technologies make it across the commercialization “valley of death” while so many others get stuck?
@Farah_Benahmed and I took a closer look at Fervo Energy and X-energy: two very different companies whose paths reveal a similar pattern.

The Eastern and Western U.S. grids are getting a powerful new connection. ⚡
Montana’s North Plains Connector funded by DOE will help to move electricity to where it’s needed most, strengthening reliability and supporting energy affordability nationwide. youtu.be/liDcfXyQY2I?si=MPQx…

Great piece by @wlpFERC:
"The next chapter of American prosperity may depend on whether we are willing to think about the grid the same way Eisenhower thought about highways. Not as isolated projects, but as the backbone of a national system."

Major federal action on data centers!
Today FERC issued six individualized show cause orders under Section 206 of the FPA directing each RTO/ISO to make changes to their processes for interconnecting large loads such as data centers.

Last night @CleanEconProj premiered “Ignition,” a short film featuring the people & companies working to unlock commercial fusion.
With the right policy support, fusion is poised to become one of the most transformative energy sources in human history.
This week, we released “IGNITION: The Future of Fusion,” a short documentary from Future in Bloom about the race to unlock fusion.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, our cohosts @ClearPathAction, and the @AtlanticCouncil for hosting.
Watch “Ignition”: youtu.be/p6BKWOQ9tY8?si=Q4sn…

Notable: By 2035, developers must agree to meet 1/3 of data center electricity demand with additional, clean firm power.

Next-gen geothermal remains slowed by high cost of resource confirmation.
@CleanEconProj, WSG & C3 Solutions are proposing a new Appraisal Risk Program at DOE.
Would provide concessionary support for resource appraisal drilling across diversified geologic basins.

Rate freezes are a temporary band-aid that risk making the affordability problem worse.
If we want to keep electricity bills stable, we need to build more power plants + transmission lines. And love them or hate them, utilities have an important role to play.
MYTH: Rate freezes protect consumers.
They may stabilize bills in the nearterm. But what happens to the system when prices don't reflect the cost of building and maintaining it?
@daniel_wolf1 breaks down why short-term relief can lock in long-term pain in Ep. 2 of Myth v. Fact.

Key insight from @daniel_wolf1 : the options can work together. You can get a more granular energy market (C) with state-overseen economic hedging (A). You can also find more and more interruptible loads of different flavors working with retail regulators (B).

I just finished reading PJM’s seventy-page market design white paper (so now you don’t have to!)

Great event in Sacramento last night feat. @CleanEconProj, @EnvDefenseFund, @iuoe_union, & @SonomaCleanPow on role of next-gen geothermal in meeting California's clean energy goals.

Given @fervoenergy IPO news today... @CleanEconProj hosted a geothermal event in Sacramento last night, featuring the short film we released with Steph Speirs and Future in Bloom.
Watch the film to see what Fervo means for Utah's rural towns.

Lots of talk about expanding the grid to power AI.
But existing regulatory & legal frameworks are too slow.
In a new blog, we argue for consolidating Tx planning, permitting & financing mechanisms at the federal level.
An idea: let's create a National Transmission Authority.

there's so much punditry and analysis about electricity prices, but what are american actually paying on their bills? Heatmap and MIT teamed up to bring you THE ELECTRICITY PRICE HUB heatmap.news/energy/electric…
CleanEcon retweeted
My friends @heatmap_news and @mitceepr just released the Electricity Price Hub, a new public data platform that provides monthly, utility-level estimates of residential electricity rates and bills across the United States going back to 2021, broken down by generation, transmission, and distribution costs. Here's what it looks like for my utility in NJ.
CleanEcon retweeted
For the launch of our Electricity Price Hub, I wrote about rates v. bills.
We talk a lot about drivers of high rates by region and utility.
But some places (i.e. the South) have low rates and high bills, which demands its own policy response

Electricity prices are rising across the country — but even as they become an increasingly heavy burden for households and businesses, the reasons behind those prices have remained stubbornly opaque.
Until now.
INTRODUCING: The Electricity Price Hub

We are launching a big project today with MIT —
The Electricity Price Hub!
You can view monthly electricity prices per kwh and avg. bills for every major utility in the country going back to Jan 2020.
