What would happen if every US household had a #heatpump? According to a recent study, emissions in the residential sector could plummet by a jaw-dropping 36 to 64 percent, contributing to an overall reduction in US emissions by 5 to 9 percent.

A new analysis examines the 'Regulatory Gap' between utilities and their regulators, which is cause for them to focus on taking the easy route and building local transmission when it would be much more valuable to build large interstate transmission lines. 🛣️ ⚡ This 'Regulatory Gap' exists in Missouri and is partially driven by PISA legislation, which requires grid investment and allows certain recovery of it. Sadly, these grid improvements still aren't addressing reliability and aging infrastructure issues in the lower income or minority neighborhoods, and a large chunk of investment is being put into more affluent neighborhoods. https://lnkd.in/gQiMgztj

AMPYR Energy USA has finalized long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) for two utility-scale solar projects in South Carolina, totaling 195 MWp. One of the projects includes integrated energy storage for enhanced grid reliability. Both developments will provide clean electricity to power approximately 30,000 homes. Beyond renewable energy, the projects create local construction jobs and generate tax revenue for over 30 years.

The EPA announcement on power plant regulations raises significant concerns about our nation's energy landscape. The rule outlined is unlawful, unrealistic, and unachievable. As electricity demand grows and supply fails to keep up, bad public policy is making the problem worse.

#ACPMember National Grid Renewables has officially broken ground on the Apple River Solar project, a 100 MW solar project in Wisconsin. The solar project is set to deliver clean energy to thousands of homes, create 150+ construction jobs and help reduce carbon emissions. Once operational, it will contribute significantly to the state's renewable energy goals, marking a major milestone for clean energy development in the region.

Recent developments in grid modernization focus on enhancing grid reliability, resilience, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Innovations such as 'advanced reconductoring' are being explored to upgrade existing power lines for higher capacity, facilitating the transmission of electricity from renewable sources over longer distances. Additionally, there's a push towards creating a more resilient and responsive grid to accommodate the increasing demand from clean technology and AI.
