Omaha Public Power District’s Post

Before you spend too much time and money on SEO, realise many people don't seem to be able to read. Real conversation "Hi, Energy Solutions, can I help?" "You're Electricity North West, aren't you? Pes Area 15 - we're an energy consultancy." "No, we're Energy Solutions, an energy broker like you" "Oh, that's misleading that is" "What is?" "Your website, it says you're Electricity North West" "What website are you on?" "Energybrokers.co.uk. I found it through Google. It's misleading." "What does it say at the top of the page?" She hung up. Choose your broker wisely. I recommend finding on that can listen and read.

*NEW DATES: July 30-August 2!!! Looking forward to this new course focusing on DEA with Quinn Parker, CDP, Alice Napoleon, and Jasmine McAdams. Many states and utilities are looking for ways to account for energy equity when deciding whether and how utilities should support DERs. This multi-day course will describe how distributional equity analysis (DEA) can be used in conjunction with benefit-cost analyses (BCA) to assess the equity impacts of distributed energy resources (DERs).

This edition of the Mad Energy Minute teaches you how power prices are created from energy forward markets. This involves a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Inquiring with Doc Bakey from Bakey Energy Consulting about how this is done can enhance your understanding of the market and improve your buying strategy.  

Distributed Energy Resources continue to be a very important issue in Pennylvania and elsewhere. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published a very good article summarizing how DERs could contribute to decreased emissions, lower energy prices, and increased reliability and security. I was interviewed and quoted by author Anya Litvak, the Post-Gazette’s energy reporter for the article. In its current rulemaking, The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has an amazing opportunity in front of it, where it can truly enable DERs and empower consumers to control not only their own energy costs, but market costs for all consumers. This is a transformational moment in energy markets. DERs will provide multiple benefits to Pennsylvanians if the PUC allows them. The PUC doesn't need to do much. It only needs to avoid over-regulation, which will stifle the opportunity. You can find a link to the Post-Gazette article on my website at https://lnkd.in/eKykzYmJ. I also have more infomation on Pennsylvania's DER rulemaking there.

You may or may not be aware that commercial/business energy pricing available has improved massively lately, however, DO NOT expect your supplier just to pass on these improvements should you remain out of contract. Some suppliers in particular still have some scary out of contract rates!! If you feel like I am talking about your energy situation, let's have a chat about your best options. Don't continue to bury your head in the sand!

The US National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $160 million to a team led by Louisiana State University (LSU) to support Louisiana’s energy industry, create jobs in the energy sector, develop innovative solutions to energy challenges, and help train the energy workforce. The team – known as Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL) – is comprised of LSU and more than 50 partners, including universities, community and technical colleges, state agencies, and private energy companies such as Shell, ExxonMobil, and Baker Hughes. Together, the FUEL team will work to solve emerging challenges in areas such as: Carbon capture, transport, and storage Hydrogen use Use of carbon dioxide to produce low-carbon fuels and essential carbon-based products Water use and management Sustainable manufacturing Policy development These initiatives will directly help the energy transition and decarbonization of Louisiana’s industrial corridor, which currently features more than 250,000 people working in the energy, chemical, and petrochemical industries. The FUEL efforts also align with the energy priority of LSU’s Scholarship First Agenda to solve pressing problems in Louisiana. Led by the LSU Institute for Energy Innovation, established through a $27.5 million gift from Shell, FUEL will help the state’s manufacturing plants and refineries adapt to the market’s demand for lower-carbon solutions and reduced reliance on carbon-intensive fuels.
