Delighted to report that Mrs. EnergyAbe (a.k.a. Dr. Jenny Greene) won a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring for her work teaching algebra and math to inmates in New Jersey's state and federal prisons! Woot!

Kent Chandler delivering as usual: "Everybody thinks their baby is the cutest. It’s almost never true. There can only be one cutest baby. There’s always a way to do things better. … You can make your baby cuter,” Chandler said." I think he's talking about ISO market design...?

Today the NE States Collaborative released a whitepaper talking about the opportunities of HVDC transmission to support offshore wind on the East Coast and the benefits of collective state actions to drive HVDC standardization.

Outside ERCOT, energy resources (ERIS) are often treated similarly to capacity in interconnection studies, and the results show up pretty clearly in the data - which I presented @ENERGY's latest Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X). Some take-aways & stats 🧵

A joke told to me by my 7-year old daughter: Q: What do you call a flower that makes electricity? A: A power plant! So proud.

After spending the last several days digging in and digesting @FERC's Order 1920, I'm convinced that Order 1920 represents a significant and positive step forward, ensuring we have the infrastructure needed to maintain reliability through the ongoing energy transition.

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners put out a statement on the new FERC Order 1920: they're big mad. Who is this group, why are they upset? Here's a brief thread...

@drvolts @RobGramlichDC Another would be to identify one thing he agrees with in Commissioner Christie's dissent and one thing he disagrees with in the concurrence! 🤣

@TKavulla ...but fewer regional benefits. The affected states might step in and fund the project anyway, even with limited regional cost allocation. (3) Cut a deal and replace litigation risk & potential of higher allocation outcomes with a fixed methodology. Whatcha think?

@fredstaffordcs My lib friends would be glad to get owned by investment in next-generation nuclear by Red States. But remember the enormous clean energy potential located in Red States. It's like investing in railroads to export grain; except we're exporting electrons instead. Good business!

Obviously tons more in here -- and I haven't even touched the backstop siting rule yet -- but this feels like solid progress to me. I'm even quasi-excited about the state negotiation process (don't worry - that will wear off quickly.)
