Strategy & Planning

“The EU, UK, Norway, and others surrounding Europe have to consider the whole security of supplies, also based on maybe not shutting down coal or all nuclear yet. We need to speed up power generation from new renewables.”

“Inflation, supply chains disrupted, and the Ukraine being invaded by Russia. We’re living this new normal on disruption, so much so that we have seen countries in Europe and others having underlying energy policies affected that are needed to get to net zero.”

“We’re seeing an appreciation by our customers to vary their load, from some of the largest industrial customers to mid-size businesses, cold-storage facilities, many others, where they can shift the times of use of their energy. They like the economic benefits.”

“We have to do this grand transition in a period of extreme turbulence. COVID, climate, and conflict contributing to a cost-of-living crisis. We have decentralization, decarbonization, digitalization, diversity in energy, and demand-side disruption.”

“When FERC issued its NOPR in April, the contributions of the task force were cited more than a dozen times. FERC, and colleagues at the federal level, are interested in our thoughts.”

“We’ve just received permission to build a $2 billion transmission project in Colorado to bring clean energy from the great energy resources in the eastern and southern plains of Colorado to the metroplex of Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo.”

“Our study, this path to net zero, estimates that by 2045, there will be a demand for six and a half million metric tons of hydrogen in California. Almost all of that, eighty percent, is going to be used to enhance electric grid reliability.”

Conversations with San Diego Gas & Electric CEO Caroline Winn and Xcel Energy CEO Bob Frenzel, with PUF’s Steve Mitnick and Guidehouse’s Chris Rogers.

A proposed transmission project would cost a billion dollars if it is built. The odds are long indeed.

“The Association of Edison Illuminating Companies’ Distributed Energy Resource Subcommittee is a collective industry organization of utility-only members discussing the integration of grid-edge technologies.”
