The promise of grid-scale energy storage is that you can hold onto electricity for a bit and save it for later—rather than having to use it or lose it.

Grid-Scale Battery Storage Is Quietly Revolutionizing the Energy System

This energy storage technology is harnessing the potential of solar and wind power—and its deployment is growing exponentially.

As excited as I am for #Andor season 2, I’m not watching yet because I just had a massive success. I finally convinced my wife to watch season 1 with me. She’s hooked and we just finished ep 7. “That’s just love, nothing you can do about that.” For Maarva.

Great article by @umairfan.bsky.social for @wired.com detailing the rise and impact of grid-scale batteries: apple.news/AFmUiuAQlTd6...

Good rundown from @cltomlinson.bsky.social on all the terrible bills coming out of the Texas senate that will hurt the Texas grid and consumers. Extreme fossil fuel pettiness driving the bus off a cliff here. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

Tomlinson: Natural gas can’t help grid, lawmakers hamstring renewables

Texas senators propose laws that would hobble electricity generation even though natural gas can’t meet the grid’s electricity demand.

Literally the the Avengers of Texas energy podcasting. Cap @mosebuchele.bsky.social and Iron Man @douglewin.bsky.social

Doug Lewin@douglewin.bsky.social · last yr.

Mose Buchele joined me on the Energy Capital Podcast to talk about his award-winning podcast series, The Disconnect & how politics, money & power shaped Texas's grid & energy systems. Texas energy history is such a rich vein & it's still being written. www.douglewin.com/p/disconnec...

Texas lawmakers know we need advanced energy sources to meet growing electricity demands. TAEBA's Matthew Boms talked with @kaylaguo.bsky.social about the role these resources should play. www.texastribune.org/2025/03/06/t...

With Texas facing soaring electricity demand, the politics of energy quietly shift at the Capitol

The Legislature has tried to clamp down on renewable energy resources in the past, but many lawmakers are recognizing the need to support all types of generation to meet record demand growth.

There are two new battery records in ERCOT today: first time batteries met 10% of demand & first time >4,800 megawatts. Why today? There are 24,000 megawatts (!) of thermal plants offline & winds have slowed down. Batteries don't need downtime like gas, coal, and nuke plants do.
