asked a question in Energy Efficiency Group on Jun 9, 2021

Principal, Nexant, Inc.

What are the biggest barriers that utilities face in transforming their DSM programs from broad offerings with a primary goal to achieve energy savings, to targeted programs with a goal to...

Over the years, as I have worked with utility clients on their DSM/EE program offerings, I have witnessed a growing industry buzz about the transformation of DSM programs from broad offerings that are promoted to all of a utility's customers in a..

Your points are all well taken and well supported, but I would like to comment on some other dimensions of the utility industry that I believe are equally important – if not more so – to the future development and success of the aforementioned and other utility programs… Regulatory Oversight & Rulemaking

, Visionary and innovator in the utility industry and grid modernization, Burns & McDonnell answered

Florida Power and Light in the 1980s cut a deal with Florida regulators that no other utility has done. It basically allowed FP&L to create any DSM program they wanted and share the savings with the customers. This is the key to building a portfolio of DSM programs rather than trying to find a "one size fits all DSM silver bullet". At the peak of the experimentation FP&L had some 40...

Nuclear Power Is About to Become More Expensive

Post - Load Management Group - Jun 11, 2021

Conventional economics dictates that a product’s price rises when it is scarce and in demand. Global production of uranium, a raw material for the nuclear power industry, fell to 123 million pounds- the lowest since 2008 - in 2020, due to the..

Hi Bob, your comment made me laugh. I don't have a personal stake or ideology as far as nuclear power is concerned. I also did not write that nuclear would not "remain competitive" with renewable energy. I wrote this post after coming across a news piece I thought was interesting and doing a bit of research. I may be proved right or wrong in the future. Either way...

By the way, I think the confusion is because I used the wrong words. My bad. Nuclear power has a big role to play globally (see China, India, Finland etc.) but its role, at least as far as the electric grid in the United States is concerned, may not be as prominent as that of wind and solar. Based on Camecho's earnings call, it would seem that nuclear power is being positioned for...

Virtual Battery Introduction

Post - Load Management Group - Jun 9, 2021

Goal: Reduce millions of tons CO2 while storing massive amounts of renewable sourced thermal energy by displaced fossil fuel water and space heating with wind energy plus providing 1,000s of new jobs.

Pricipal Engineer (retired), Blattner energy

Are there any particular regions or projects that are doing this virtual battery implementation in the best way, in your opinion? Who's the shining example on the hill, if there yet is one?

Charles, I admit your torrent of sales techno-babble lost me early on, but - what on Earth is "fossil fuel water"?
