“the states with the highest increase in renewable generation share from 2019-2024, such as Iowa, New Mexico, and South Dakota, have seen some of the largest decreases in electricity rates”
James Temple@jtemple.bsky.social · 5mo agoSo what's really driving up electricity prices? Basically everything but renewables, according to LBNL and CATF.
Adding 78 GW more solar and 54 GW more battery storage in the PJM grid region than projected in a status quo scenario would drive a 20% reduction in system costs and improve reliability through 2035, says a study for @advancedenergyunited.org conducted by @synapseenergy.bsky.social. #EnergySky

Lol love the headline! Very good convo about why energy prices are rising in the Mid-Atlantic and what we can do about it! @volts.wtf: "... people can freak out all they want, but it’s insoluble unless you speed up the interconnection queue. That is the eye of the needle here."
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 6mo agoToday on Volts: PJM! Prices in the US's largest wholesale power market keep going up & up, as data centers clamor to get connected & the interconnection queue remains sluggish & congested. People, including governors, are getting pissed. I talk with an expert about possible reforms that could help.

Very proud of our new report. Laying out a vision for how the West can stitch together our abundant energy resources and diverse demands to help meet our nation's challenges. It's a new, uniquely Western answer to energy markets: bythewest.org

This data center will be built with battery storage — a first that will help it come online far sooner than if it had waited to connect to the grid.
In a first, a data center is using a big battery to get online faster
Aligned Data Centers will pay to build a 31-megawatt battery, an early example of how AI developers can move fast if they’re willing to be flexible.

Because PJM uses an outdated interconnection process it take forever to get approval. Bottlenecked supply: Only 3 GW of new generation was added in 2022 and 5 GW in 2023 — nowhere near enough to meet new demand from data centers. If they copied Texas with connect and manage they could accelerate.

Yeah, the rollbacks are bad – as Harry & @sarahsteinberg.bsky.social explain – but they also ID opportunities for industry growth, and share where they're optimistic about the road ahead. 🎙️ Thank you @sarahbaldwin.bsky.social @energyinnovation.org for having @advancedenergyunited.org on the show!
