NPM US (New Project Media)

Inspired by Jon Gray and his running series..I do love getting a run on my travels. Scottsdale represented an interesting challenge with an arid climate and a run best started at 6am and the end result was seeing stunning vistas and some energy I never knew I had. And always a good reminder that balance is always the right way to go in a very crowded work week.

Poolside demos, Spire bar meetups, driverless car rides, and plenty of positive feedback from NPM US (New Project Media) partners made this week's event a big success! It was a great reminder how nice it is to 'make the rounds', learn, validate more problems we can solve for our customers, and spend quality time with the NPM dream team. We're up next month! Come out to our US Development & Finance Forum in NYC on April 29 to talk renewables, storage & data centers: https://rb.gy/pms166

Golden State Clean Energy is in the news with an interview with?NPM US (New Project Media). Excerpts below and full interview?here: https://lnkd.in/gFn4var8 ? "Golden State Clean Energy?(GSCE) is working on a mammoth master plan that, at full build out, will include over 20,000 MW of capacity from solar and storage projects.?Patrick Mealoy, GSCE’s chief operating officer (COO), told NPM that this master plan aims to permit land, take care of land rights, and form project companies to interconnect them to a transmission system before auctioning off the prepped projects to renewable energy developers... ? ...Right now, GSCE’s pipeline consists of over 8,000 MW in different interconnection queues all throughout California. The full development pipeline, when adding in solar and storage, GSCE is pushing 4,500 MW to 50,000 MW of projects... ? ...“When you look at the California grid and the amount of renewables that need to be added, even throughout the West, the highest concentration and probably the best from land use planning is to concentrate it where you can permit, where there is access to historic transmission corridors, which is why we are focused on the [San Joaquin] valley,” he said.? ? ...GSCE entered an agreement with the [Westlands Water District] to build out the master plan, which is now about 130,000-acres under site control. That land is a little more than half public land, with the rest being private land.? ? “That size and scale supports a significant transmission build out,” he said.?The deal that was struck with the water district asks that GSCE drive transmission to the San Joaquin Valley so projects “aren’t just planned or thought about but are permitted” and “projects come online.”... ? ...?“People have been chasing solar projects in the valley for 20+ years and 90% of those projects fail because of transmission because when you get an interconnection upgrade, it is so much,” Mealoy said.? ? He pointed to the size of the master plan, which is enough to support 20,000 MW of solar and a comparable amount of storage. “When we hear that it could cost a couple billion dollars to upgrade the transmission system to interconnect that, if I’m developing a 500 MW or even 1000 MW, I can’t substantiate that amount of investment.”? ? But, he said, if that is spread across 20,000 MW of solar and storage, “it is now a reasonable and viable transmission investment.”? ? GSCE aims to interconnect the project companies, that it is working to form now, to a transmission system consisting of a grid that the district will own itself inside of its footprint.? ? “We will sell the project companies ultimately to another developer to build the projects,” Mealoy said. “We’re talking about projects that will be permitted, queued, and ready to file construction permits with Fresno County.”...
