🚨 #NewStudyAlert 🚨 #energytwitter

Today we release a new report: "Role of Electricity Produced by Advanced Nuclear Technologies in Decarbonizing the U.S Energy System". Below lies a thread (🧵🪡) We deployed WIS:dom-P w/ augmentation to include: #endogenous learning, blended adv. #nuclear tech., yearly investment periods, @NREL #electrification, pilot projects, new #weather & load #datasets.

🚨NEW STUDY ALERT🚨

Today we release a new #study for @votesolar that looks at #electrifying and #decarbonizing #Michigan's #economy by 2050. A thread 🧵!

vibrantcleanenergy.com/media/reports/ We computed 3 scenario pathways:
1) Duplicated three utilities IRPs
2) Clean economy by 2050 using utility generation
3) Clean economy by 2050 using both utility & distributed generation (via co-optimization)

We released a report yesterday w/ @350Montana & @GridLabEnergy on "Affordable & Reliable
Decarbonization Pathways for
Montana." Here is a short thread... First, report is here: vibrantcleanenergy.com//wp-content/up…

Second, Exec summary is here: vibrantcleanenergy.com//wp-content/up…

Third, More can be found @350Montana: 350montana.org/2021/05/27/the…

Here is a look at the #Texas Wind (avg over all state) for each month for last 175 years. It's the average capacity factor for each month. Our climate data suggests events like that of the last few weeks will occur ~4 more times before 2050. Here is the same analysis for #solar across #Texas. Please note that these plots assume uniform installations across all of the state.

🚨⚡️FULL TECHNICAL REPORT RELEASED⚡️🚨

Today, we have released our full technical report on the "Why Local Solar and Storage Costs Less". Two weeks ago, we released the main findings: savings of $473 billion when co-optimizing distribution. This released provides more details! The report, ES, summary presentation, and spreadsheet can all be found on our website: vibrantcleanenergy.com/media/reports/ #energytwitter #cleanelectricity

⚡️ NEW STUDY RELEASE (9:30 ET 12/1) ⚡️

Why Local Solar For All Costs Less:
A New Roadmap for the Lowest Cost Grid

⚡️NEW STUDY RELEASE⚡️: Consumer, Employment, and Environmental Benefits of Electricity Transmission Expansion in the Eastern United States w/ @CleanEnergyGrid @gogginmichael @DrChrisClack. A short thread... High-level: If the Eastern US aims for 95% GHG reduction by 2050 (65% by 2035) it could have 6 million new jobs, $100 billion reduced costs, and over 80% generation from wind and solar. How? This is enabled by new high-voltage transmission connecting everything together

🧵🧵 ⚡️NEW STUDY RELEASE⚡️ 🧵🧵

Colorado can reduce electricity cumulatively save $1.8 billion by 2040. At the same time, it can grow the electricity job market by 70,000 and reduce GHG emissions by 75% from 2005 levels.

@holycrossenergy @IREAcoop @DrChrisClack @achoukulkar It can do all this by:
1) Coordinating transmission planning across Colorado;

2) Designing transmission tariffs and access spread across Colorado;
