Trump is back - what does his presidency mean for the EV and battery industry? In a U.S. presidential election full of unexpected developments, Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. Throughout his campaign, he proposed a variety of policies for his potential administration, leading to questions about the potential impact of his presidency on the energy transition. In this article, we lay out the key changes we expect to see in the near future: https://lnkd.in/gXvMXhFZ Sign up to our newsletter to get the latest news delivered to straight to your inbox: https://bit.ly/4eqGZQI #Trump #USElection #EVBattery #EnergyTransition #RhoMotion

This morning American Electric Power's interim CEO, Ben Fowke testified before the US Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on the unprecedented growing demand for electricity, not only in the 11 states we serve, but across the country, tied in large part to data centers. His remarks also focused on the challenges that extremely large customer power demands present, the risks of not addressing the topic, and policies that would help address them. In his testimony Ben said, "Just a few years ago, a large-scale industrial manufacturing facility might require 100 megawatts (MW) of electricity – enough to power about 100,000 homes. Now, it is common for a single data center to require three times to up to 15 times this amount of power for a single site." His comments start at 38:30, but the entire thing is worth a watch. #AEP #AmericanElectricPower #AI

TOMORROW: ITC President Krista Tanner will speak at an American Clean Power Association (ACP) and Clean Grid Alliance event celebrating the energization of the Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line earlier this fall. To continue unlocking the resiliency, reliability, and environmental benefits of critical infrastructure projects like Cardinal-Hickory Creek, permitting reform is crucial. 💻 Learn more by tuning into the event livestream at 10 am CT/11 am ET tomorrow: 

I've been reading a lot about the electrical requirements for simultaneous growth in adoption for electric vehicles (EVs) and machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) workloads. I can't attach the think tanky stuff we get access to but this WaPo article provides a nice summary of the situation. Here's the deal - if the US wants to continue using these new power-intensive technologies we're going to need an almost immediate increase in electricity generation construction so that new supply will be available to meet the massive increase in demand that is charging at the grid like a tsunami. Believe me when I say this - we do not want to run out of electricity in this country. If we do nothing, the constraints on our grid will affect us all. If you're in commercial real estate in any capacity this will eventually trickle down to your business. If you're concerned about this, I'd encourage you to talk to your local leaders. This problem can be solved if there is alignment at every level of governance. We need our utilities working with municipalities working with states who are working with the federal government agencies in a coordinated fashion toward a shared goal of massively increasing electrical generation capacity across the country. https://lnkd.in/gvzUB2NS

According to a recent article published by Utility Drive, state utility regulators called for the continuation of federal funding for advanced transmission technologies, which include grid-enhancing technologies and high-performance conductors. DOE's Jigar Shah notes, "Five years ago, people thought grid-enhancing technologies were unproven and risky. Today, I think people believe they're mainstream enough to deploy at scale."

FERC’s Order 1920 marks a pivotal moment in transmission planning policies, ushering in the first significant update in over a decade. This groundbreaking order seeks to revolutionize decision-making processes at regional and state levels by implementing standardized, long-term studies on power grid updates to better address consumer needs. Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights from our panel of experts as they analyze and discuss the implications of the draft final rule.

As a business, an industry and a nation, we must place the continued development of the electrical system at the forefront of U.S. energy and economic policy. This is part of the message American Electric Power Interim CEO Ben Fowke shared as he testified before the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. We're navigating a landscape where demand is increasing at historic levels. AEP has requests for more than 100,000 MW of energy in our development queue, and most of that comes from large-load customers looking to build manufacturing plants and data centers that will help strengthen our local economies. One of the challenges to greenlighting these investments is the need for permitting reform to remove bottlenecks and get projects into construction. But many projects spend more time in regulatory hang-ups than they would take to build. To continue providing safe, reliable, and affordable power, we must advocate for flexibility and quicker decision-making by regulators alongside decisive action from policymakers. You can see the webcast of Ben’s testimony along with representatives from the Electricity Consumers Resource Council, Micron Technology and the National Center for Energy Analytics here. ⬇️

One Energy designed, built, and is now operating the first fully digital substation in the United States. But what exactly does a substation do, what does it mean to be fully digital, and how does One Energy’s substation stand apart from those used by local utilities? Watch our Director of Engineering Brian Curkendall tackle these questions and more! https://lnkd.in/evNwJspK
