The balance between meeting increasing power demand and meeting greenhouse gas emission/ carbon-intensity reduction targets by reducing fossil-fuel electricity generation with renewables and battery storage is challenging, but achievable. Lots of takeaways here, but one thought in the article stands out - "To be fair, there are real barriers to speeding up what is already a rapid U.S. clean energy buildout" - this is the issue to get to scale, especially in the regions of the country that are experiencing exponential population, manufacturing, and industrial growth. That said, demand-side management programs need much more attention and dedicated resources. Canary Media Inc. Sierra Club Edison Electric Institute NRECA

Sharing an interesting read from Jeff St. John Canary Media Inc.: With energy demand on the rise, U.S. utilities are struggling to balance fossil fuel reliance and climate goals. This article makes it clear that utilities alone can’t deploy renewable energy fast enough to meet our climate targets or load growth. 🌍 We need collective action—solutions from various sectors, innovative partnerships, and faster adoption of clean energy are essential to make real progress. #Renewables #ClimateSolutions #SustainableFuture

The problem in this article is real and current. And while there are effective solutions available right now that can serve many of these new, large loads, they aren’t obvious to all.  Enchanted Rock's natural gas #microgrids provide cleaner emissions for onsite backup, but they can also generate the flexible local capacity that’s needed to serve the loads during several hundred hours of constraint per year. Here’s what can be done as a result: ✅ We eliminate diesel emissions and can meet corporate GhG goals through renewable fuels.  ✅ We can flex the load without affecting customer operations. ✅ We avoid further constraining the transmission interconnect queue, leaving room for more #renewables.  Not only is it wise to embark on this approach now; our efforts can also make an impact on our growing energy demands, our #carbonreduction goals, and our need for more economic development at a lower cost.

Do renewable energies have what it takes to power GenAI and growth in manufacturing? According to recent research, it seems unlikely. With the doubling of peak demands for electricity, burning more gas and coal appears to be the only viable choice. While renewable energies are an important part of the solution, they cannot support the current level of growth alone.

Headlines in the media aside, market data reveals the energy transition — shifting from oil, natural gas, and coal — is in fact underway. Per capita emissions are dipping, and wind & solar are now often cheaper than coal. Read more about the signs of transition in Cipher News: https://nt-z.ro/3Q6KNgn
