Wil VanLoh’s Post

For those interested in a no-nonsense explanation of the current state of energy in the U.S., this is worth 8 minutes of your time.

An excellent perspective by Wil VanLoh. We are certainly seeing a more pragmatic approach to energy solutions and pointing out that there are costs associated with "green energy" such as mining is a very important point to be acknowledged for any real solutions to be put forward.

Very interesting description of the energy supply chain!

Excellent explanation to make sense of the current madness in the market.

We’re proud to see our Senior Partner & Founder, Douglas Kimmelman Kimmelman, sharing his insights on Bloomberg Open Interest last week. Doug discussed how ECP is navigating the evolving energy landscape: “Demand for electricity has been flat for the last 10 or 15 years because of energy efficiency, but now we have new demand coming in from electrifying the transportation sector and data centers.” Watch the full interview to learn more about the growing need for reliable energy sources and the opportunities shaping the sector. https://lnkd.in/gkayt6bQ

📣JUST RELEASED: Episode 223 of #EnergyUnplugged is out now! Tyler Norris, James B. Duke Fellow at Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment joins our Managing Director for North America, Oliver Kerr🔸. ➡️Listen here: https://lnkd.in/diQq5kZ Together, they discuss the intricacies of interconnection processes within U.S. power markets, with key topics including: 🔹What are interconnection processes, and why are these increasingly relevant in the US? 🔸“Invest and connect” VS “connect and manage” approach for interconnection processes 🔹What will the results of the US election mean for the energy transition in the country?   #USPowerMarket #EnergyTransition #EnergyPodcast

This is a great and accessible introduction / explanation of how grids treat clean power projects — and why the status-quo methods need to be adapted to the new era of tight grids and booming load... thanks for the work Tyler!

Really enjoyed this one — the first (and surely last) time I’ve been called a world-leading expert on anything, thanks to the generous Oliver Kerr🔸. I’ve been so impressed with Aurora Energy Research’s team and delighted to join their podcast following the chief executives of National Grid, Form Energy, CAISO, Ofgem, and others. Some topics we cover: -What drives “speculative” generators to join large interconnection queues? -How does the US compare to China on generator interconnection? -What is deliverability, and why is it often misunderstood? -What do we actually mean by “invest & connect” vs. “connect & manage”? -Can “energy-only” resources enhance resource adequacy? -Why is nuclear energy especially sensitive to the US election outcome?

The perspective of an energy market specialist on flexibility? Dieter gave us this definition of flexibility: it is an economic option. It’s an asset you can use. If you are smart about it, it can generate money. Listen to the third episode of flexing the future via: https://lnkd.in/gzky3VYq
