I’m thrilled to share a new paper by the Google energy and climate team about why and how corporate clean energy buyers should support advanced clean electricity technologies needed to accelerate electricity grid decarbonization: blog.google/outreach-initi… 🧵1/

1/ New paper out on Granular Certificates from Google! Over the past year I supported work on this paper, and want to walk through the core ideas and why they matter for clean electricity procurement. Views my own, as always.

Hey all - after more 14 years, I am leaving Twitter. It's been real...f*ing terrible lately. You can find me on Bluesky under my full name (Devon Swezey) or at the link below. Hope to continue interacting with many of you good people over there! bsky.app/profile/devons…

Great interview on how nuclear and other firm clean energy technologies can help achieve 24/7 carbon-free power even as we rapidly scale solar, wind, and storage.
Michael Terrell@michael_terrell

Great speaking with @BloombergTV about our advanced nuclear deal with @KairosPower and the critical role that new technologies will play in enabling the transition to 24/7 carbon-free electricity grids

Huge move from @Google. It’s one thing to reopen old plants, quite another to commit to new build of advanced non-LWR SMR. A big boost to the future of nuclear. wsj.com/business/energ…

@Google continues to use its purchasing power to create early market pull to help commercialize advanced clean firm power technologies. Google has agreed to buy 500 MW from @KairosPower, helping Kairos finance not just their first demo but the first 6-8 reactors. This follows similar contracts with enhanced geothermal pioneer @fervoenergy, including offtake for their 3.5 MW first-of-a-kind demo AND another 115 MWs of commercial projects. This kind of purchasing is catalytic & has outsized impact! Bravo.

1/ Today, @Google signed the world’s first corporate agreement to purchase clean nuclear energy from a series of small modular reactors (SMRs), to be developed by @KairosPower - our first-ever advanced nuclear deal. ⚛ Our blog: blog.google/outreach-initi…

Excited to see the new 24/7 Carbon-free Coalition launched by @ClimateGroup at #NYCW, with @Google as a founding partner. This new coalition of electricity consumers will focus on accelerating demand for 24/7 CFE across the globe. Visit climategroup.org/247 to learn more.

What is the oddest/most obscure conversion factor you have memorized because it is handy in your line of work (and why)? Mine: 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3,412 British thermal units (Btus), because for some reason we Americans discuss fuel costs in $/million Btus & power plant heat rates in Btu/kWh.

This is great news. A clear example of AI demand spurring additional clean energy capacity. We need a national framework to reward and encourage this kind of investment at scale. nytimes.com/2024/09/20/cli…

Me when the press release says a company is going “100% renewable energy” but it’s just unbundled RECs.

“The basic fact is you can be solar powered all night long with today’s accounting, and that’s absurd" -A superbly well reported piece by FT on the grand debate amongst the biggest tech companies on how to account for electricity purchases & emissions ⤵️ ft.com/content/2d6fc3…
