It's cold here in the Northeast US with snow on the ground, and all I can think about are those hot summer days by the pool. From an energy perspective, these hot temperatures mean our air conditioners and pool filters are on consistently. I can assure you, I'm no different from my neighbors. Where does all this power come from and what would happen if it stopped? Capacity constraints on our power grid are a real thing. Please read my newly published article regarding this, and how we can help solve this problem. #transmission #powergrid #ferc

With more energy demand now than ever, #Decarbonization & #Electrification efforts, & erratic weather, how can utilities meet demand without breaking the budget? Read to learn how #DemandFlexibility initiatives like #DemandResponse, #EVCharging, or #VPPs can help. https://hubs.ly/Q02HHyKg0

Yesterday's storms and the heat wave in Victoria disrupted the transmission network affecting many including 90,000 customers to a load shedding event and another 500,000 households due local network issues caused by the extreme weather. One of the prime examples that would warn us of the dire impacts of extreme weather events on the energy system. #climaterisk assessments will become essential as we plan for, invest in, and transition towards more resilient #energy assets and grids that are future-proofed. https://lnkd.in/g_fqM4ej

I've been keeping tabs on Form's Iron-Air battery for a little while. Excited to see how it progresses as cheap long-term storage can prove vital for grid flexibility or when power is down after significant natural disasters. #gridresilience #renewableenergy #energystoragesolutions
