As demand for electricity grows, so should efforts to expand grid capabilities. Creative solutions like this one are good news for everyone! Interstate cooperation between utility operators will improve distribution and strength, especially in times of environmental crisis like the approaching wildfire season in California. #Electricity #GridStability #FutureOfEnergy #CaliforniaWildfire

Big News for Battery Storage in the MidWest Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed groundbreaking legislation in late November, positioning Michigan as the first Midwest state committed to 100% clean electricity by 2040 and net-zero emissions by 2050. A key part of this ambitious journey includes an energy storage target of 2,500MW by 2030. This landmark decision marks a significant leap forward for sustainable energy in the US. https://lnkd.in/gAGy-5ut

Reece Whitby faces his first major test holding the rival energy and environment portfolios, with a crucial power transmission line planned to run through endangered cockatoo habitat. The cockatoos were front and centre in the debate over Roe 8 - but the new transmission link could be crucial to keep the power grid running. #energy #infrastructure #environment

Recently, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association CEO Jim Matheson joined lawmakers, electric co-op leaders, and energy experts in a discussion on the importance of grid reliability. Check out POLITICO Focus’ five key takeaways from the event: https://politi.co/47IzXE0 1. American prosperity is contingent on affordable, reliable electricity 2. Grid reliability is not guaranteed 3. The EPA's proposed power plant rule is the wrong plan at the wrong time 4. Electric co-ops are hubs of energy innovation 5. Reliability requires realism

At DLL Solutions we view the National Grid's $4 billion investment to upgrade the power grid in Upstate New York as a pivotal step towards a sustainable energy future. This initiative, encompassing over 70 projects, is expected to not only boost local economies through job creation and economic growth but also enhance grid resilience and meet increasing electricity demands. Such an upgrade is crucial for integrating renewable energy sources and aligns with New York's climate goals, marking a significant advancement in building a smarter, cleaner energy infrastructure. #EnergySector #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EconomicGrowth #GridUpgrade https://lnkd.in/eJsVpQsj
