ERCOT West solar (white line in plot) almost fully curtailed on an 81gw peak demand day. Not the first or last time. I am interested to see how the curtailment dynamics shift as more solar takes PTC and old wind PTCs expire. #ERCOT

Redwood is currently recycling batteries at a rate of of 20 GWh/year. That's an extraordinary amount —more than some analysts thought would even be available in the US for a few more years. But it's just a shadow of what's to come 4/ bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Redwood's industrial campus is a 300-acre slope of buildings in various stages of completion. We followed cell phones and EV batteries recycled into 2500-pound bags of fluffy white lithium, then re-made into delicate foils and cathode CAM—the most valuable EV components 2/

Two things happened on the @California_ISO grid last night. 1) Battery storage discharge went over 6GW for the first time AND 2) Batteries were the largest source of supply.

Big moment: Batteries all built in just the last 3 years were providing 3 Diablo Canyons worth of power last night, and were the main source for the CA grid. (DC is the West coast’s last large nuke, irreplaceable in decades, with replacement cost easily in the 10s of billions)

The maps dashboard now overlays high-voltage power lines with interconnection queues on the county map. With @California_ISO again taking new applications, SoCal counties now lead the nation for solar & storage. emp.lbl.gov/maps-projects-re…

Last Friday I tweeted how knowledge from fracking creates a game changer for geothermal that reduces the cost of a renewable energy system. And here's my friend @ChristianOnRE with another 100%RE study showing low-cost PV and geothermal create a cost optimum for Central America.

This is an off-grid industrial microgrid. Couldn't get a grid connection for a new facility quickly. And they saw rates raising at 10% CAGRS. So they said screw it, LFG! Here you can see 78% of energy from solar plus battery.

New research from @WyattArnold15, @MxgTeo and @hydroaholics shows floating solar could produce 20-100% of the electricity expected from Africa’s planned hydropower dams by 2050 and are competitive with land-based solar and other technologies. buff.ly/4cV17KZ

⬆️ European carbon price rebounded strongly to almost €75/t today It’s all about gas, which pulled #EUETS price up montelnews.com/news/de91a15c…

What’s it like living near a large solar installation? We surveyed nearly 1000 neighbors to find out. The results are in a new @BerkeleyLab report at emp.lbl.gov/publications/per…. Here are some top findings – THREAD!

The amount of warming Earth is projected to face in coming decades has DROPPED since 2015. “If we don’t talk about what has been accomplished, we are disempowering and discouraging people from taking action,” @KHayhoe says. ciphernews.com/articles/how-… via @CipherClimate
