Interesting read on why Geothermal has not taken off as a domestic power source in CHina. https://t.co/sq8xn774Mg https://t.co/K0gI2v6nKr
Was fun going deep on 800 VDC. I had to talk to my friends in the trade working on these data centers for context lol. Lots of juicy nuggets I uncovered. 800 VDC: The Inflection Point Reshaping Datacenter Power...
The race to build orbital data centers is missing its biggest variable: power “Solar panel in space produces roughly 5Xs the amount of electricity that the same panel would produce on Earth. There is no atmosphere, no weather and no day-night cycle for most orbits. No interconnection queue and no permitting.” https://t.co/PfmW1te2ac

Hungary has highest solar share of any country in the world - 27% of electricity from solar in 2025, up from just 2% in 2018. In August 2024, solar hit 37% of monthly generation. Now >8 GW of installed capacity - a...

Utilities will spend $50M on a substation upgrade before spending $10K on equipment that gives them access to your EV battery. That battery in your garage could be powering the grid during peak demand instead of another substation nobody wanted. The lack...

There’s a growing amount of excitement and trepidation around off-grid data centers. I’m not convinced many will actually go fully off-grid -- probably as a bridge in most cases. But it’s surfacing a more interesting tension about how we build the...

LNG DEMAND DESTRUCTION ALERT 🇻🇳🚨 A proposed Vietnam LNG power project is asking the government to switch to a renewables+battery plant, citing surging fuel prices linked to the Middle East conflict Vietnam was expected to be a high-growth LNG importer https://t.co/ac6gBNmCDr
China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - around 50% higher than the US or Europe. With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil...

Solar energy hasnt had a price hike in 4.5 billion years. Meanwhile, oil has shot up over $100/barrel today and will likely set a new record high for a second time in 4 years above $150/barrel.

Just another reminder that, like worldwide, increases in WindWaterSolar in the U.S. correlate with lower, not higher, electricity prices. Please ignore all the spam claims that renewables increase prices. It is fossil fuels and nuclear that increase electricity prices. https://t.co/Lra772hw38

Everyone keeps talking about intermittency. Let me show you two kinds. Wind and solar output varies hourly. It follows weather patterns that we can forecast days in advance. It has a well-understood distribution. We have storage, interconnection, demand response, and decades...
The most consequential debate in AI right might be about how we use the grid. Do we need to build it as fast as possible? Or just use it better? There’s a real split forming around this: utilization vs. expansion. A new report...
Significance: This is a "strategic win" for the company. While they are primarily known for roads and highways, this project marks their entry into high-growth renewable energy infrastructure, which typically commands better valuation multiples.
Really excited about the launch of a new methodology by @goldstandard and @SEforALLorg designed to accelerate the replacement of fossil fuel generators with #renewableenergy systems, opening a new source of finance for #cleanenergy transitions. https://t.co/UIti3uc9Ue
We need a lot more oversight over where these data centers end up. The noise pollution is something I hear about constantly from people who live nearby https://t.co/AAY0Gh3woV
