I highly recommend checking this out! Patti Poppe explains a bit about how Pacific Gas and Electric Company plans to approach #ClimateResilience https://lnkd.in/gJVkpFYW

#ICYMI the latest episode of Public Power Now from American Public Power Association (APPA) details the benefits of participating in APPA's #DEED, #RP3 and #SmartEnergyProvider programs: https://ow.ly/FELt50QhuNN Heartland Energy customers have APPA membership and may be eligible for these programs.

NRECA CEO Jim Matheson joined lawmakers, electric co-op leaders, and energy experts last month to discuss grid reliability and how electric co-ops are investing in rural communities. Check out the key takeaways below and learn more here: https://politi.co/49WhcPi

The world's capital and resources must focus on a 4 x improvement in the transmission grid before true GHG reductions can be achieved. #climatelawstrategy

FERC Commissioner Christie recently noted: “The United States is heading for a reliability crisis…. Dispatchable generating resources are retiring far too quickly and in quantities that threaten our ability to keep the lights on.” Check out our recent article on trends and recent events leading the electric industry to re-examine the approach to resource adequacy. https://bit.ly/44ilo7F

A significant and important step in our transition to Zero emissions. As stated the Industry is going through significant changes. This is probably the biggest challenge our industry has ever faced whilst at the same time we are facing rising costs, strained supply chains, a lack of available staff and an uncertain plan on how to achieve the end goal. Then of course there is the small matter of where the energy is going to come from. For these reasons alone it is important for the industry to work collaboratively together and it’s so important to have these new partners as members. I would urge all of our industry partners to encourage anyone they know in the Energy and Infrastructure space to join.

#PJM and #MISO plan to study the potential for increasing mobility btwn #gridsystems. Overarching themes include: -       The importance of interregional #transmissionplanning for enhancing #reliability and #resilience in the #powergrid, addressing the increasing demand for #cleanenergy, and mitigating congestion through efficient and cost-effective #transmissionupgrades.  -       Collaboration between stakeholders, including #gridoperators, state #utility regulators, advocacy groups, and consulting firms, to optimize infrastructure and maximize benefits for consumers.  -       #Regulatory frameworks like #FERCorder1000 and potential legislative measures such as the #BigWIRESAct underscore the broader policy context shaping these initiatives towards a more interconnected and robust #energyinfrastructure.

The Indiana Commission (IURC) is holding its annual Contemporary Issues conference focused this year on Integrated Planning - that is, planning the generation, transmission, and distribution system holistically. AEP will be presenting their progress, which we originally supported (see paper here: https://lnkd.in/eZpGgXeY) Also, presentations by other utilities and regulators. We also are coming out with the results of our industry survey shortly where we polled utility leaders on how their planning approaches have evolved in recent years. https://lnkd.in/eYfJ43xX
