🔋Battery storage can unlock the full potential of #renewables by addressing their main challenge: intermittency. The falling costs of battery storage—down by 93% since 2010—has also driven the declining #costs of renewable power. Read how: irena.org/News/articles/2025…

📉Firm costs have declined rapidly, driven by falling #costs for solar PV & battery storage. Since 2010, total installed costs declined by 87% for solar PV & a staggering 93% for battery storage. Read ‘24/7 renewables: The economics of firm solar and wind’ ➡️ irena.org/News/pressreleases…
As I say in this @FT piece - hydrogen produced at 3am should not be able to be called “solar powered” many in the fossil industry feel that’s just fine…

This is a great paper from @EPRINews researchers that independently replicates all of the core findings of our earlier ZERO Lab modeling on the impact of various corporate clean electricity procurement strategies. You can find that work summarized here acee.princeton.edu/acee-news… with full paper here cell.com/joule/fulltext/S254…

We published a new paper on carbon-free electricity procurement. The most important findings are about how much your assumptions change the answer.
A thread on what models reveal (and hide) about CFE. 👇
Ultimately, to incentivize clean firm and storage, to tackle the hard hours of decarbonization - we must think hourly , not annual.

This week's episode of @CleaningUpPod is quite the scoop. I visited Paris to speak with Fatih Birol @fbirol, Secretary General of the @IEA, just a few days after the release of 400m barrels of oil from its Strategic Reserve. Here's how it happened. mliebreich.substack.com/p/cl…

YES! If tax incentives are being given to data centres, it should be conditioned to incentivise investments that make electricity cheaper, cleaner and less prone to supply shocks for the community in the long run. Let’s not be myopic.

Everyone involved in the data centre business should be worried about license to operate as their project face increased public pushback.
Clean round-the-clock power is a powerful sway. And Killians team has ideas how to fund it 👇
New policy idea. Electricity demand is rising in the US, driven by data center growth. How do we power this technological shift without locking in gas generation or raising costs for ratepayers? Our idea @energy_tag. A feebate for clean firm power. energytag.org/us-electron-ac…

5+ GW of new natural gas plants to power Meta's expansion of its hyperion data center in NE Louisiana.
Entergy claims ratepayers won't pay. But Entergy was not forthcoming w info about prior deal w Meta, which put ratepayers at risk for $2B of gas plants costs.

China vs US grid thread. Just to calibrate things.
To get things started - China's total electricity demand grew faster than the rest of the world combined (2024).

🚀 Open-source tools are becoming a powerful advantage for energy project developers.
An Indian 🇮🇳 developer recently used #PyPSA to design 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable and storage projects and is super happy!

Yes, REC land is a parallel universe until we tie it back to the basic realities of power markets - time matching , deliverability etc
