“Our grid is the 2nd most reliable in the country. That matters — whether you’re a family in 110° heat or a manufacturer investing billions.” Danny Seiden joined John Hook on FOX10 Phoenix Newsmaker to talk about the new 500-mile Transwestern natural gas pipeline and what it means for Arizona: keeping energy affordable, expanding capacity, and ensuring our state can keep pace with rapid growth. 👇 WATCH

One does not simply connect Tasmania and Victoria’s electricity grids. The two grids operate at different scales, with distinct generation profiles, power system dynamics and system strength outlooks. Bringing them together securely requires rigorous planning and detailed technical studies. It’s a bit more involved than joining the ends of a 345km extension cable! We recently hosted a technical workshop with an inter-regional working group including members from TasNetworks, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and AEMO Victoria. This is a key forum for planning and progressing the system integration studies that will ensure Marinus Link connects securely and reliably to the power systems in Tasmania and Victoria.

Approval is in for Minnesota’s first stand-alone battery storage project: Spearmint Energy's Snowshoe BESS in Olmsted County! Our team supported the permit application from start to finish, helping to set the stage for this 150 MW facility that will provide critical grid stability in the region. This milestone reflects the collaboration of developers, regulators, and community stakeholders—and marks an important step toward a more resilient energy future in Minnesota!

FirstEnergy, through its subsidiary American Transmission Systems, is planning to build four miles of new transmission line starting from the Cranberry substation and connecting to an existing transmission line between Mars and the substation in Pine Township, Allegheny County.

Humpday Hangout: Firefighting Tactics for Electric Vehicles, Battery Storage, and Solar Energy Systems In this "Politics and Tactics" edition of the Humpday Hangout, hosts P.J. Norwood and Frank Ricci speak with guests Chris Pfaff and Mark Haugh about the evolving challenges first responders face with the rise of lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles (EVs), and large-scale battery energy storage systems.

Thanks to Place North West for arranging an interesting session this morning on Energy and Power skilfully hosted by Dan Whelan. Thoughtful contributions and insights from a range of experts including James Johnson, Olivia White, Melissa Wilson, Mara Rastall, Gráinne Gilmore, Joe Chambers and Jennie Stein In summary from me, we are all talking about the energy trilemma but from different perspectives recognising the importance of balancing energy security (including supply chain and resilience), equity (universal and fair access) and environmental sustainability (climate change and net zero). From the economic development perspective the following would be my summary: - Delivering the country's net zero ambitions has potential to create good jobs in many places, export potential and opportunities for UK businesses. - The Government suggests an additional 400,000 jobs over the next decade or so and this would provide the equivalent of a 1% increase to the current stock of workforce jobs in the country - transformational economic change. The net zero destination is set and the journey underway, let's ensure we have a just transition.

Basin Electric recently held its 2025 annual meeting of the membership in Bismarck, N.D. The meeting was attended by 743 member cooperative employees, directors, public officials, utility representatives, and guests. The theme for Basin Electric’s 64th Annual Meeting was “Powering Progress.” This theme reflects the cooperative’s ongoing advancements in transmission and generation projects, as well as strategic technology upgrades that position it for future growth and enhanced service reliability.

The Port of Los Angeles is pilot testing a new onshore wave energy system in a first-of-its-kind project for the US. Swedish company Eco Wave Power recently announced completion of the installation, with the site to serve as a demonstration platform for harnessing ocean waves without requiring seabed infrastructure. The company said the LA trial will inform future commercial deployments and provide a glimpse into the potential for wave power in port-adjacent industrial zones.

“I don’t think there’s a full understanding that the project is 80% complete and the transmission lines are 90% complete,” McKee said. Read more about Revolution Wind here: https://lnkd.in/et2bSyAh

Into the deep: together with partners, we have developed the world’s deepest subsea compression system at the Ormen Lange gas field in Norway. The technology will unlock additional gas that could heat 5 million European homes next year. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ebNBUtrt #PoweringProgress
