@MassClimate Your model shows that plant is a cost effective investment for the next 15 years. How much confidence can you have forecasting beyond that? Peaker plants work quite well with renewable energy now, while the more nextgen technologies start to come online.

MLPs would be better off buying #energy on the open market than investing in the harmful & polluting #PeabodyPeaker. Not only would they save money, but they could also wait to invest in a #CleanTechnology alternative when it is available #StopPeabodyPeaker #CleanEnergyNow

@NOWRDC @NREL @NOWRDC Livestream is great. Recordings may be greater. Did you save a copy of the session with @NREL and do you have any plans to share it? Will you make all the sessions available on demand? #NOWRDCSymposium2020

Don't miss #NOWRDCSymposium2020 on November 9, 10, & 12! Co-chaired by NOWRDC's Carrie Cullen Hitt and @NREL's Walt Musial, the event will feature exciting keynotes, an industry panel, and presentations on Consortium-awarded projects! eventscribe.com/2020/RD-Sympos…

Take a few minutes to check out the NOAA Climate Report. #SOTC2019 #StateofClimate #ClimateChange Its hot today. It may be time to upgrade to a @MitsubishiHVAC mini-split

Another Solar Energy RFP. This time for residential and commercial projects in #Savannah. #solarenergy #solarpower #energy #crowdfunding

@WattWeKnow Studies have shown that in noisier environments such as pubs and restaurants, people are more likely to shout, which increases the risk of virus transmission. The SoundSign lets people know when things are too loud, so they can reduce the volume and reduce the risk 😀

@burgersb Considering lifecycle analysis - Does it make sense to retire all the LNG peaker plants early? Diesel plants should go. Keep the good peakers, and storage should be the choice for all future peaker plants. Often the greenest solution is to get most from existing infrastructure.

3) we didn't perform a full portfolio optimization, which could uncover additional paths to retiring the analyzed plants. 4) we didn't dig into the geophysical constraints that might impact how one sites storage.

We (conservatively) required storage alone to match the operations of NY's peakers, & ignored additional mkts & revenues. We used Formware, Form's optimization software, to find the optimal combo of li-ion & LODES to match the peaker profiles. Our results were promising...

@cirrusresearch How are sound levels related to Covid-19?

The SoundSign is an easy-to-install noise-activated warning sign that is perfect for environments where there is a need to clearly indicate when a preset noise level has been reached. Available to purchase as part of the 'Way-Back' Pack, or on its own: bit.ly/2E1TjLD

@EnergyRI @homeworksenergy Expand to RI, and take me with you.

Block Island Utility District is hiring a lead vendor to provide energy auditing services for their energy efficiency program. Interested parties can read the full RFP here blockislandpowercompany.com/wp-content/upl… The deadline to apply is August 15th.

@MassDOER @MassGovernor @MassLtGov @EEASecretary @MassEEA Energy storage can sell electricity wholesale markets & now has policy for peak demand. For most intents and purposes (siting, financing, construction, permitting), can we treat it like a generation facility? (Not identical, but similar) @MassDOER @storage_ESA

Building on @MassGovernor's leadership on #ClimateChange, @MassDOER today announced the launch of the Commonwealth's first-in-the-nation Clean Peak Energy Standard. 🔗 More: mass.gov/news/baker-pol…

After working on a few LNG peaker plants, its to easy to see how storage would be a solid upgrade to provide those few hours of peak load demand.

More offshore wind solicitations are opening up! (Ignore the lorem ipsum description!) nationaloffshorewind.org/solicitations/ #offshorewind #RenewableEnergy #cleanenergy

$60M bribe for $1B bailout to keep nuclear industry alive in Ohio. This how to compete against wind, solar and energy storage. Overturn this bill. cleveland.com/open/2020/07/f…

@johntfay Nailed it!

@dBSeaLtd So just use 20 (or 21) Log (R) and it would nearly fit all your scenarios.

Go get funding to make an awesome solar project! energy.gov/eere/solar/ame… #solarenergy #cleanenergy #energytransition

🚨 BIG NEWS: The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the Moving Forward Act, which includes the stand-alone energy storage investment tax credit (ITC). Great news for the #energystorage industry. Read CEO @KSpeakesBackman statement here: bit.ly/38gInF1 #storageITC

Hi @SandiaLabs - So happy to see that the energy storage database is back up. sandia.gov/ess-ssl/global… The content there is very helpful!

Hi @SandiaLabs - I need access to your global energy storage database. It is still down. Please restart your server. sandia.gov/ess-ssl/global… @SandiaEnergy @energy @NREL @storage_ESA

@SandiaLabs Your awesome energy storage website is down 😱 sandia.gov/ess-ssl/global…
