The auction underscores the importance of strategic planning in shaping the future of energy generation and distribution. #generation #powergrid

In case you missed it: The largest U.S. grid operator, PJM, recently held its annual power market auction, and the results are astonishing. The auction resulted in a price of $269.92 per megawatt-day for most of the PJM region, a significant increase from the $28.92 per megawatt-day price in the 2024/2025 auction. This 800% increase will have far-reaching effects across PJM's 13-state footprint, which includes the northeast part of Indiana. #energy #reliability #affordability #PJM #GridOperator https://lnkd.in/gv-75kfj

📈 PJM Capacity Auction Ensures Reliability Amid Tightening Supply ⚡ PJM’s latest capacity auction successfully secured sufficient resources to meet the reliability requirement for the 2025/2026 Delivery Year, despite a tightening supply-demand balance. Key drivers of higher auction prices include generator retirements, increased peak load forecasts, and FERC-approved market reforms. This auction highlights the critical need for continued investment in generation and transmission infrastructure to ensure grid reliability across PJM’s 13 states and the District of Columbia. #Energy #GridReliability #PJM #Electricity #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Utility https://lnkd.in/gZuSmmeg

Since 2015, Milhouse’s #gas team has been responsible for the design of 150+ miles of distribution gas mains for one of our utility clients. We have completed full-scale replacements of seven different neighborhoods across Chicago, navigating the congestion of the city, OUC permitting complexities, and the ever-changing CDOT requirements. Milhouse's impact extends beyond replacing gas mains, encompassing 200+ projects for the leading Midwest gas utility company. These projects, driven by new business additions, utility relocations, and other unique challenges, showcase our adaptability and expertise. From downtown Chicago to O'Hare airport, our designs navigate complex scenarios, including extreme utility congestion, vaulted sidewalks, and intricate maintenance of traffic considerations. #gasdistribution #naturalgasindustry #engineeringdesign #engineering #utilities #utilitiesindustry #milhouseprojectspotlight

Here is an interesting topic for debate that came up at SuperDug in Ft Worth. Looking at the pros and cons of longer laterals. Chord Energy recently announced their intention to pursue 4 mile lats in the Bakken. It's a delicate balance of maximizing efficiencies and reduced costs without the logistical nightmares of the longer lats. Technology has unlocked more length for sure. https://lnkd.in/gM_wUN-K

https://lnkd.in/g58ERa8S Economic #efficiency is crucial in the #pipeline industry, particularly for natural gas transportation systems. These systems span thousands of miles and are integral to delivering energy across vast distances. However, maintaining this extensive infrastructure requires significant operational costs, primarily driven by the need for constant upkeep and protection against corrosion. #DragX offers a solution that enhances pipeline efficiency, reduces costs, and supports sustainable operations.
