As I reflect on last week's Annual General Meeting and subsequent Shareholder Meeting, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and optimism. Witnessing our stakeholders' genuine engagement, insightful questions, and the vibrant discussions that unfolded, I am reminded of the strength and commitment that lies at the heart of Floating Power Plant. The re-election of our Board of Directors and the approval of our proposed bylaw changes are not just procedural successes; they are affirmations of our shared vision and mutual trust. These moments underscore our collective dedication to not only advancing sustainable energy solutions but also nurturing a community bound by common goals and values. I am especially grateful for the continued support, curiosity, and confidence you all have shown in us. Your belief in our mission is what propels us forward, enabling us to explore new horizons and push the boundaries of what is possible in the clean energy sector. Thank you to everyone who participated, both in person and in spirit, for making our AGM a memorable milestone. Together, we are not just powering homes and businesses; we are powering a brighter, cleaner future for our planet. #FloatingPowerPlant #AnnualGeneralMeeting #SustainablePower #CleanEnergyFuture

As the electric grid grows more precarious, RPower has solutions. #RPower, #WeRPower, #PowerGeneration, #NaturalGas, #Resilency, #PrimePower, #UtilityBridge, #EnergyManagement

Great example of how the coal-to-gas shift can support the energytransition and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions #energytransition

A new report from RMI and Virtual Power Plant Partnership (VP3), concludes that #VirtualPowerPlants can reduce costs and could avoid up to 28 million tons of #carbonemissions by 2035, while also maintaining reliable #grid operations.

Exciting times in the energy transmission markets. This along with the MISO Tranche 1/ 2 portfolio is an enormous amount of work that will continue for decades.

Q: What are the primary considerations when selecting the mounting structure for a PV installation? 🤔 When choosing your mounting structure, it generally comes down to three things: 1️⃣ Local wind and snow loads 2️⃣ Your specific roof type 3️⃣ Price For the second installment of our ‘You Ask, We Answer’ series, we asked our Head of Training, Marco Stuckenberger, to tell you why. Unmute the video below to hear what he has to say. 👇 #WeSupportSolar #SolarPower #YouAskWeAnswer P.S. Got a question you want us to answer?

LPPC joined the United States Energy Association Energy-Tech Connect Forum yesterday, where Tom Falcone, LPPC’s President-Elect, and Javier Fernandez, LPPC Vice Chair and CEO of Omaha Public Power District, shared insights on load growth alongside Dan R. Brouillette, President and CEO of Edison Electric Institute, and Marc Reitter, President and COO of AEP Ohio.   Javier noted that as the CEO of a utility that must double its generation capacity by the decade's end to meet unprecedented demand, he is encouraged by the positive economic implications of expansion. And although dealing with increasing load growth can be challenging for utilities, it’s undeniable that utilities play an essential role in fostering economic progress.   When the conversation turned to how leaders in Washington, D.C., could support utilities as they work to meet demand, Tom shared examples of public power systems that are building new infrastructure as fast as possible despite being encumbered by the current system’s inefficiencies. He emphasized the need for streamlined permitting and siting processes to help utilities meet growing demand and advance decarbonization efforts. Thank you to USEA President Mark W. Menezes for hosting yesterday's event and moderating the panel discussion.  #reliability #energyfuture #cleanenergy #energydemand #publicpower
