It is unfortunate that utility companies, state, and federal governments are having so much trouble coming to an agreement on how to safeguard the grid; but at least they agree that the grid needs to be protected. Emergency response time is a huge concern for communities that face annual seasons of natural disasters like the California wildfires, Midwestern tornadoes, or Florida hurricanes. Any community can be hit by an unexpectedly bad storm -- and when the lights go out, you want to be sure they will come back on as soon as possible. I hope that lawmakers and utility providers continue to collaborate and reach an agreeable solution for consumers’ safety and peace of mind. #GridStability #EmergencyResponse #NaturalDisaster #FutureOfEnergy

How can CenterPoint best prepare power lines for major storms? While research suggests there are benefits to burying power lines, experts say the solution to the Houston area’s electricity distribution problems may not be so simple. https://lnkd.in/gBkBy5kM

From 2000 to 2023, about 80% of major U.S. power outages were caused by extreme weather. These disruptions pose serious threats beyond inconvenience, jeopardizing critical services, causing financial losses, and even risking lives. Embracing solar energy alongside cutting-edge home battery storage solutions can help alleviate outage impacts, offering households independence, safety, and assurance. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Resilience #Innovation #EnergyTransition #SmartInclusion

? WEEKLY OUTAGE REPORT??? Major #outages this past week in #Maine and #Colorado - over the last week, there have been electric grid outages impacting 387,083 customers across Maine and Colorado. In the NE outages were related to winter storms and in CO the concern is outages were largely due to fire risks and wind related power safety shut off's - early in the season to be concerned about fires ?? There are outages in Houston, the state with the greatest outage rates, today which will show up in next week's stats. The most severely impacted counties are:? ? Jefferson, Colorado (135,378) ? Boulder, Colorado (79,473) ? Denver, Colorado (32,121) ? Arapahoe, Colorado (26,376) ? Larimer, Colorado (21,179) ? York, Maine (16,020) ?

I wrote an article for The Conversation about public safety power shutoffs after what many of us in Colorado experienced recently. The article is written for a lay-person audience and attempts to explain why these happen, the challenges utilities face, and how essential it is to keep a clear, transparent line of communication between utility and customer during these events. https://lnkd.in/ed5R3gf7

As Northern California faces the threat of power shutoffs due to extreme fire danger, the importance of resilient and reliable #EnergySolutions has never been clearer. There is an urgent need for innovative energy storage systems to safeguard our communities from the impacts of wildfires. High winds can cause tree branches and debris to contact energized electric lines and potentially lead to a wind-driven wildfire. As a result, there is a chance that may cause power to be turned off during severe weather. This is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. The sole focus of a #PSPS is to keep customers safe. #EnergyVault is proud to support the Calistoga community with the Calistoga Resiliency Center through a hybrid energy storage facility that combines hydrogen fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries to provide 48 hours of continuous carbon-free energy. Designed to operate independently during PSPS events, the Calistoga Resiliency Center ensures that critical facilities and the local community remain powered even during extreme weather conditions: https://lnkd.in/gSCS7jnV Our partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company to build and operate this facility reflects a shared commitment to achieving a #NetZero energy system by 2040. The Calistoga Resiliency Center not only replaces the use of mobile diesel generators but also sets a new standard for utility-scale energy storage solutions. Managed by our advanced VaultOS? Energy Management System, this project exemplifies how innovative technologies can enhance grid reliability and support community resilience #EnergyStorage #Resiliency #RenewableEnergy #WildfirePrevention #SustainableFuture #EnergyVault https://hubs.la/Q02Fqyvg0

Australian Power Grid: ?? Is it short-sighted to reject underground power lines due to cost when extreme weather is becoming the norm? ?? ?? "You can't simply say it's too expensive because weather conditions have changed, and they will only get worse," Tony Wood, Grattan Institute. ?? ?? Should the aesthetic and environmental benefits of underground power lines be considered just as important as their functionality? ?? ??? With Victoria's recent outage, is it time to prioritize infrastructure resilience over initial costs? ??? ?? How do we balance immediate disruptions from underground power line installations with their long-term community benefits? ?? ?? Are we ready to invest in the future of our power infrastructure, considering the escalating climate challenges? ?? #VictoriaOutage #UndergroundLines #TonyWood #GrattanInstitute #InfrastructureResilience #ClimateChange #PowerLineSafety #FutureProofing #CommunitySafety #EnergyDebate Jacinta Allan Junayd Hollis Ausgrid Bruce Mountain
