DOE offers $900M for next-generation small modular reactors. The U.S. Department of Energy said it expects to announce an official solicitation and open up applications in late summer or fall. The U.S. Department of Energy announced Monday that it will provide $900 million of funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law to support the deployment of light-water small modular reactors. The department will give up to $800 million to “up to two first-mover teams of utility, reactor vendor, constructor, and end-users or power off-takers committed to deploying a first plant while at the same time facilitating a multi-reactor, Gen III+ SMR. In a second round of funding, DOE will award up to $100 million to fix “key gaps” troubling the domestic nuclear industry in areas including design, licensing, supplier development and site preparation, with the goal of spurring additional Gen III+ small modular reactor deployments. The energy transition is here – is your business ready to adapt? With rising electricity rates, uncertain grid reliability and an urgency to meet sustainability goals, your business is most likely assessing how to reduce costs, increase grid resiliency and maintain operational effectiveness – all while a ZERO carbon & ZERO emissions footprint. Are you seeking an eco-friendly, sustainable, and secure option beyond lithium-ion BESS? At TNI Energy, we've innovated a groundbreaking method that repurposes recycled lead-acid batteries, extending their life span to 15-20 years for energy storage purposes. Previously, the industry lacked a safe and environmentally conscious alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, our proprietary technique reveals that lead-acid batteries are not only safer but also 30-40% more cost-effective than their hazardous counterparts and NO Thermal Runaways! #TNiEnergy, #nebulositycloud, #BESS, #Energy, #ZEROemmissions, #ZEROcarbonfootprint, #energytransistion, #LeadAcid Battery, #windpower, #solarpower, #VPP, #MicroGrid

Maryland electric customers face up to 24% bill hikes from PJM capacity auction: report. Reliability-must-run contracts for two Talen Energy power plants added about $5 billion to PJM’s capacity costs in its last auction, Synapse Energy Economics found. For the majority of the PJM region, capacity prices for the 2025/26 delivery year soared to $269.92/MW-day, up from $28.92/MW-day in the last auction, the grid operator said in an auction report. Prices hit zonal caps of $466.35/MW-day for the BGE zone in Maryland, and $444.26/MW-day for the Dominion zone in Virginia and North Carolina. The capacity prices in Maryland reflect the need for power lines and power supplies, according to PJM. Last year, PJM received power plant “deactivation notices” totaling nearly 2.7 GW in Maryland, according to a PJM infrastructure report on the state and the District of Columbia. Maryland and D.C. had about 11.2 GW of installed capacity at the end of 2023, according to the report. PJM’s interconnection queue in Maryland totals about 7.3 GW, including 3.9 GW of storage, 3.2 GW of solar and 45 MW of gas-fired generation, according to the report.

Utilities have the opportunity to collect massive amounts of #Data — in fact, some #Utilities have more data than they know what to do with and are struggling to pinpoint helpful insights. Itron, Inc. CEO, Tom Deitrich, spoke with Powergrid International and emphasized the power of the next generation of endpoints, which will utilize multiple applications to complete a range of specific tasks. Rather than just #Meters, endpoint devices should be seen as grid sensor and grid control mechanisms. Read more insights from Tom:

White House announces $7.3B clean energy financing for Dairyland Power, 15 other co-ops. The federal funding will support 10 GW in clean energy projects, lowering electricity costs for cooperative utilities in 23 states, the White House said. Dairyland Power Cooperative, Hoosier Energy and United Power are among 16 cooperative utilities that were selected for $7.3 billion in federal funding for clean energy projects. The cooperatives will leverage the funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Empowering Rural America, or New ERA, program to spend about $29 billion on developing or buying over 10 GW of clean energy, related transmission and substation upgrades and distributed energy resource management software, the White House said Thursday. These investments will lower energy costs for rural Americans and help improve grid performance, resiliency and reliability for rural residents in 23 states, according to the White House. The $9.7 billion New Era program represents the largest investment in rural electrification since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Rural Electrification Act into law in 1936, the USDA said. Under the program, cooperative utilities can receive a grant for up to 25% of their project cost, with total loans and grants limited to $970 million per cooperative. One of those cooperatives, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, plans to use the pending funding to support retiring 1,100 MW of coal-fired generation and buy 1,480 MW of solar, wind and battery storage across Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming, the USDA said. Meanwhile, Seminole Electric Cooperative plans to use its pending funding to build 700 MW of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects across rural parts of Florida.

DOE, USDA announce over $2.8B for Palisades nuclear plant restart. A $1.5 billion loan guarantee and $1.3 billion in awards will support site work and power purchase agreements for the 800-MW Michigan plant, the Biden-Harris administration said Monday. Holtec International will receive a loan guarantee of up to $1.52 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office to restart operations at the 800-MW Palisades nuclear generating station in southwestern Michigan, the Biden-Harris administration said Monday. Two regional electric cooperatives, Hoosier Energy and Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative, will receive about $1.3 billion from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to partially offset power purchases from the reopened facility, the administration said. Holtec remains on track to restart Palisades in October 2025. The federal funding announcements for Palisades come less than two weeks after Constellation Energy said it would spend $1.6 billion to restart the idled 835-MW reactor at Three Mile Island unit 1 in 2028. Constellation’s TMI-1 restart is supported by a 20-year PPA with Microsoft, which will use the electricity to run data centers in PJM Interconnection territory. Constellation declined to discuss the terms of the PPA, but the company’s investor presentation on the restart suggests it places a substantial premium on power generated by TMI-1, Studsvik Scandpower Chief Commercial Officer Keith Drudy told Utility Dive last month. Morgan Stanley analysts estimate Constellation will sell power to Microsoft for $98/MWh compared to market power prices of around $50/MWh. Constellation also expects the unit’s output will receive a roughly $30/MWh clean energy tax credit.

MISO is proposing changes to demand response programs ... Following the Federal Energy Regulation Commission’s (FERC) acceptance of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator’s (MISO) reliability based demand curve,  MISO is proposing significant reforms to demand response programs, focusing on registration, testing, and compensation changes. Starting in the summer of 2025, MISO plans to eliminate emergency demand response and batch load demand response as part of load-modifying resource reforms. These changes, aimed at increasing reliability, could lead to lower demand response program participation and higher capacity prices.  Elimination of Emergency Demand Response (EDR) Program MISO is eliminating the Emergency Demand Response program as part of this LMR reform package. Initially, MISO said LMR reforms, once filed at FERC and if FERC accepts them, will be effective in the 2028/29 planning year. However, MISO has decided to fast-track the elimination of EDR programs in this upcoming 2025/26 planning year, causing some concerns among stakeholders. According to IMM, 883 MW were registered in 2023 as EDRs, and only 552 MWs are cross-registered as LMRs. While most changes will take effect in the 2028/29 planning year, MISO intends to file these proposals with FERC in early 2025. Notably, energy storage resources are not included in this reform package.
