Good news! The Supreme Court just rejected an attempt to halt regulation that would limit dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. We can't let fossil fuel interests impede any more progress.

Why won’t PJM, the largest U.S. grid operator, let power plants and wind/solar farms use spare grid capacity to add batteries and clean power? Clean energy groups want federal regulators to open this pathway to bolster an increasingly stressed-out grid:

.@Energy's Grid Deployment Office has been busy. In addition to the National Transmission Planning study, they announced $1.5 billion in capacity contracts for 4 Tx projects through the Transmission Facilitation Program: energy.gov/gdo/transmission-…

Today, legislators from 10 states called on PJM to quickly implement FERC Order 1920.

Energy trading between California and the utilities and states across the U.S. West could enable GW of wind and solar and save consumers billions of dollars in power costs. Now, after decades of false starts, a new plan to make it happen is taking shape: canarymedia.com/articles/uti…

Today, for 4.33 h, California #WindWaterSolar supply exceeded 100% of grid demand, peaking at 109.7%
31 out of last 39 days this has occurred for 0.25-6 h/day
The average #WWS over the 39 days (every 5 min, day+night), is ~61% of demand
Avg will be >100% before 2030
This is not an anomaly.
It is the new reality.
The percentages will only increase each year
Once again, California exceeds 100% of demand on its main grid with #WindWaterSolar
This is the 30TH OF THE PAST 38 DAYS that #WWS supply has exceeded demand for 0.25-6 h per day.

#OPINION While the public eye is on Operation Gridiron, Entergy is backing two lesser-known proposals that protect its monopoly, not its customers, writes Logan Atkinson Burke, who heads up the Alliance for Affordable Energy.

Democrats and President Biden have invested in more renewable energy than ever, but we also need to invest in upgrading our transmission system that brings energy from the source (like a wind farm) to your home or business.
I'm introducing new legislation to do just that.
ALT Graphic with a picture of a transmission line. Text on the graphic reads: Senator Welch introduces the GETs Act Directing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to create incentives to enhance existing transmission infrastructure and increase overall transmission system capacity.

Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, clean energy companies are investing in new projects across the U.S.!
To help these projects come online quickly, we need to upgrade our aging transmission infrastructure.🔌🔋

On Capitol Hill this week, @NRDC’s @GillianEnergy testified on the Biden administration’s pause on new liquified natural gas export permits, busting myths about this dangerous fossil fuel and highlighting the outdated policies for it.
Here are a few highlights 🧵

Today’s House hearing on liquified natural gas can be summed up nicely by this exchange between @RepDianaDeGette and @NRDC’s @GillianEnergy debunking the myths and misinformation around the Biden administration’s recent, vital work to pause new LNG export permits. 🧵
Sustainable FERC Project retweeted
Unrestricted LNG exports will cost American families and businesses:
9-14% increase in the overall cost of gas
$11-18 billion higher annual natural gas costs
$20-40 per year in additional energy bills for an average American household

As the Biden administration decides the future of massive new projects that would expand future exports of liquified natural gas, it is pausing a huge swath of new export permits. It’s a key step toward phasing out the fossil fuels powering climate change + polluting communities.

This is a monumental decision from @POTUS and @SecGranholm and one that will make a difference for the future of our communities and our climate.

I led 130+ lawmakers in a letter today urging @FERC to strengthen our nation’s transmission plan. We made huge steps towards clean energy with laws including the Inflation Reduction Act, but more work is needed to ensure reliable, affordable & clean electricity for all Americans.

We expect that, for the first time on record, combined #electricity generation from wind and solar will surpass generation from coal in 2024. #RenewableEnergy #STEO

NEW REPORT: Permitting reform has stalled in Congress. But @POTUS has the power to step in and permit the good without helping fossil fuels an inch—and move the ball on the #1 issue holding back our clean energy build out.

.@NRDC/@CleanFERC is at @pstrust’s 2023 Annual Conference! @GillianEnergy on the “Siting vs. Safety: A False Dichotomy” panel: while there are jurisdictional differences, effective coordination between @FERC and @PHMSA_DOT is needed to ensure safety and responsible siting.
