@duncancampbell Hey DC! Submitted to speak @ DERVOS. I would love to speak on a recent keynote I gave inspiring Energy Changemakers. I just finished a book and am doing a lot more inspirational speaking. Also recommended Gonski.

DERVOS 2024 is coming up soon. If you have someone in mind who'd be a great speaker / panelist, let us know! forms.gle/xVNeWzX5SZJpHi…

@duncancampbell @ScaleMicrogrids @GallaudetU Congratulations @ScaleMicrogrids team!! It was a long time coming and a ton of hard work, all worth it to accomplish such an extraordinary project for @GallaudetU!!

This @ScaleMicrogrids project at @GallaudetU is the only community solar array I know of that also can help island the host's load during grid outages. Also pretty cool that it orchestrates all these different arrays together alongside the behind the meter batteries and cogen.

@duncancampbell Sounds great DC but the world needs your help. Keep inspiring us and sharing your wisdom.

one day long after Scale I'm going to buy some land, develop solar and storage on it, graze livestock within the array, and live in a trailer onsite to do solar maintenance and ranching all day

@duncancampbell The inverse correlation between rate increases and power outages. Higher price for decline in uptime.

What key metrics would you want to know about your utility's average rates over time? Average growth rate? Max growth rate? Percentile across all utilities?

I think about this almost every day, big things coming @JigarShahDC @DER_Task_Force

@duncancampbell An antiquated model that will come to an end soon. Draping wires to stripped trees is a 120 year old model. Trying to make more money at it is surely a path to obscurity.

This is going in the wrong direction.

The Bellmawr BOE cut the ribbon on their 725 kW solar project. The systems on the town's 3 elementary schools will jointly produce 1,000,000 kWh of electricity, replacing over 80% of the current consumption and saving the district approx $2.5 million over the next 15 years!!

@RichardMroz @juliajmroz @UVALaw AMAZING!!! So happy for Julia. You must be very proud Rick

So proud of @juliajmroz graduating from @UVALaw with Final Exercises on The Grounds.

Comprehensive overview. A nationwide shortage of electrical transformers has been growing for years, and it may be getting worse. huffpost.com/entry/transfor… via @HuffPostBiz

"When lawmakers set up this system in the late 1990s, the assumption was that a competitive marketplace would result in lower power prices for customers. But for the most part, the opposite has happened." wbur.org/news/2023/05/0… #energytwitter #mapoli

Learned a lot from this pod w/ @shaylekann @RobGramlichDC Amazing/infuriating stat: Currently ~2 terawatts of renewable energy generation capacity stuck in the interconnection queue…for reference ~1.25 terawatts of TOTAL generation capacity on the US grid right now. 😬

@duncancampbell @DER_Task_Force Wish I could join the one in Philly. Will see if others can go. Dang, will be at meetings in Philly until 4 then taking my son to tennis.

Three great @DER_Task_Force meetups coming up this month! 🔔 Philly - 5/3 @ 6pm at The Post 🍁Toronto - 5/10 @ 7pm at The Rhino 🗽 NYC - 5/10 @ 6:30 at Urban Energy More details at link below: dertaskforcenews.substack.com/p/meetups

So proud of our friends at Scale. They have been amazing partners and friends. Their brilliance, passion and innovation allows them to lead the way in microgrids and distributed generation. Grateful for to be your partner.

Over 1.3 Million electric customers are without power this morning across the eastern #USA as a large winter storm system moves across the region. With 414k out in #Kentucky 339k out in #Michigan 137k out in #Tennessee [2023-03-04 8:07 AM EST] poweroutage.us

@PowerOutage_us How about getting off the grid with reliable and clean guaranteed power from Microgrids and distributed generation from @OhmGrid #offgrid

Over 700k electric customers remain out in Southern #Michigan after a winter storm caused ice buildup on trees and electric infrastructure resulting in thousands of downed wires. [2023-02-24 1PM EST] poweroutage.us #PowerOutage
