Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.
We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.

China is moving forward with renewables at a breakneck pace, but Texas could be a counterweight as we install 15-20 gigawatts of wind, solar, storage and gas per year. Unfortunately, federal big government overreach and red tape are slowing down the Texas energy miracle. 1/2

What is going on with Electricity Bills?
Three main parts of a bill: energy (generation), delivery (transmission & capacity), distribution (getting to your house). Delivery and distribution dwarf energy as cost drivers.

For the first time, new clean energy generation (solar, wind, nuclear) was added faster then new electricity demand (369Twh). That will now happen every year — globally.

The electricity system is the largest commodity supply chain in the world that doesn’t feature storage. Every technology benefits from storage (esp Solar/Nuclear).
Top 1% of peak hours are 8% of your bill. Top 10% of hours are 40% of your bill
Batteries provide more tools to flatten out peaks.

Want to reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030?
Release the data! We have over 37GW of batteries, water heaters, etc that can participate in demand flexibilty. But without data access they can't bid into the PJM/MISO capacity auction to bring down costs.

Smart meters were all the rage in 2009 (aka Advanced Metering Infrastructure, AMI) and even then most of us knew they were unlikely to bring any real benefits for residential customers. Little did we know that Utilities using rickety Oracle and SAP systems would create a crisis. 🧵

After 60 years of trying to electrify populations with fossil fuels, people finally figured out there was a much better way. One with less corruption. Electricity poverty is real and clean energy is now at scale to solve it. This will unleash human flourishing.
For a long time renewable energy uptake in Africa was lacklustre at best.
But that is changing: Solar panel imports to Africa have surged over the past year—a shift poised to touch nearly every country on the continent as new Ember analysis shows.
