Many thanks to former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Neil Chatterjee, former FERC Chairman and Voltus Chief Regulatory Officer Jon Wellinghoff, and Director of Energy Markets Angel Fernandez Amores for presenting to our NY-based customers and partners a bipartisan perspective on changing grid conditions, the future of energy policy under a new administration, and how NY energy consumers can adapt to these potential changes during our Future of Energy event last week. #virtualpowerplants #distributedenergyresources #demandresponse

As renewable energy’s role in the energy mix increases, energy equity programs help address the disproportionate impact of costs to low-income households and overcome obstacles to customer satisfaction. In Renewable Energy World, TRC's Duane Baldwin offers approaches for improving renewable energy availability to underserved communities.

As large swathes of America sizzle through record temperatures this week, the Energy Institute published its annual statistical review of world energy: it makes for grim reading for people hoping to see rapid progress on the energy transition... Amanda Chu has the story Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time. Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.  While EI’s estimates are largely in line with the International Energy Agency’s, its authors offer a more sombre view of the pace of the energy transition compared with the Paris-based watchdog. “Today’s new data provides little encouragement in terms of global climate change mitigation,” said Nick Wayth, chief executive of EI. “Arguably, the transition has not even started.”  Financial Times Energy Institute

Check out this interesting article about the marketing career path from the Content Marketing Institute. Some of my takeaways: - 55% of marketers don't feel valued - 34% feel they have a poorly defined career path/ladder - Average job tenure is still about 5 years - AI is a boogeyman for some, but likely a threat to backfilling positions https://lnkd.in/gvmpUqkH

Last week I was in NY and Washington DC spending time with superstar teammates Jon Sohn and Brynn Hammond and a number of Capital Power's stakeholders. The main purpose of our trip was to support Columbia University's Global Energy Policy Group, and to attend their annual summit. This summit is heavily attended by a US audience, and is an event that draws a fantastic caliber of attendees given the topics of discussion and speakers who are recruited to participate. There were a number of very thought-provoking sessions on the increasing importance of energy security in light of geopolitical disruptions, what jurisdictions are doing to address the steep demand for electricity and increasing need for transmission, and how we will decarbonize electricity production in a way that keeps things affordable for the end use consumer. It is very clear that most jurisdictions are facing similar challenges, and so moving forward, we need to actively seek out the learnings from others to help accelerate the innovative solutions I know we can, and will, bring to the table. As an Innovator’s Circle partner of Columbia’s Center on Global Energy Policy, we at Capital Power look forward to ongoing collaboration to advance the energy transition as we collectively work towards a net-zero future. #ColumbiaUEnergy

Beneath the debate on the shift to clean energy are the utilities like National Grid who are already investing large amounts of its capital improvement projects in this space.

Less than 24 hours to go: “Can climate communication overcome the bad news problem?” Can we be balanced about climate change?    Can we grow the publics for climate change news?   Whose facts matter in the climate change story?   http://bit.ly/4ed1cdo

So true and critical. American energy is essential for all.

In an article by RTO Insider LLC, Krista Tanner, President of ITC, emphasizes the urgent need to invest in transmission and advance permitting reform legislation, especially in light of increasing energy demand. How will this effect you? Read the full story here: https://ow.ly/V4RU30sHLHK

First Solar released its 2024 Sustainability Report this morning, which breaks new ground on highlighting the increasing need to clean up global manufacturing supply chains and the virtues of First Solar’s vertically integrated domestic manufacturing and recycling base.  Most interestingly, the report highlights recent findings that if the global solar industry maintains the “status quo”, emissions from #PV manufacturing will surpass aluminum manufacturing emissions, currently the fourth most emissions intensive commodity, by 2040. When considering that we will likely need millions of #solar panels to meet our climate goals, how and where we manufacture can make or break our climate efforts.  Check out our release and the report below 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezM5rPjn

“Duke Energy remains committed to delivering affordable, reliable and increasingly clean energy to the communities it serves, which are some of the fastest growing areas of the country. As the energy landscape continues to change in remarkable ways, this next decade represents a critical execution phase in the energy transition. The company’s generation transition is well underway, and its system is changing and expanding — doubling its capacity over the next decade — to deliver on its ambitious targets … In the last 12 months, Duke Energy has delivered on value with an influx of new economic development wins, including manufacturing and technology projects. The company has filed an updated Carolinas Resource Plan, a proposed roadmap for North Carolina and South Carolina to deliver clean energy through an ‘all of the above’ approach that does not compromise grid reliability, energy affordability or the energy demands of a growing region.” - Stu Heishman, Duke Energy Corporation Vice President, Economic Development
