📣 The new #ERCOT report, written by Joshua D. Rhodes, represents a blueprint for transforming #Texas’s grid & the #txenergy sector. Read the IdeaSmiths LLC report: hubs.ly/Q01Y2yMm0 #CleanEnergy #txlege

IdeaSmiths LLC’s new #ERCOT 2040 report emphasizes the importance of building new #transmission capacity in West & Central #Texas. Improved connections will reduce congestion & support high load growth in border areas with reliable power supply. #txlege blog.advancedenergyunited.org/reports/ercot_…

Over the past five years, renewables have saved the average Texas ratepayer $200 a year, according to a report from Joshua D. Rhodes, a research scientist at UT Austin and non-resident fellow at CGEP. csmonitor.com/USA/2023/0721/…

New study by Joshua D. Rhodes & Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance shows that accelerating #transmission upgrades would save Texans $7 billion over 15 years. Too often, Texas can’t access its nation-leading clean #txenergy resources, which have been keeping the AC on and costs low. blog.advancedenergyunited.org/reports/ercot_…

Have you checked out the IdeaSmiths LLC & Advanced Energy United report on how to modernize Texas energy infrastructure? It was just released last week! #ERCOT blog.advancedenergyunited.org/reports/ercot_…

Rhodes told Insider. "Not only are we setting demand records, but we're also setting solar demand records simultaneously. Business Insider #ercot #TX #solar businessinsider.com/renewable-ener…

Hot off the (digital ;) press! IdeaSmiths LLC ran an analysis for GridLab and found that an additional 10 GW of solar during Uri would have provided enough power to turn on over 1 million Texas homes between 4 and 8 hours per day. Check it out!

Last week Texas voters approved controversial Prop. 7, which creates a subsidized lending program out of the PUC to benefit new gas plants, but new study finds additional solar resources would have powered >1 million homes for 4–8 hours/per day. gridlab.org/more-solar-in-… #txenergy

More solar power could have lessened the impact of #WinterStormUri in 2021. IdeaSmiths LLC GRID Lab study shows 10 gigawatts of additional solar on the Art Ruiz grid might have powered more than 1 million homes for crucial hours during the storm. Read more: gridlab.org/more-solar-in-…

From June to September 2023, renewable energy saved Texans nearly $2 billion in avoided power costs, reduced water use, and emissions, according to a recent report released by GridLab and IdeaSmiths LLC. Learn more, check out the report ⤵ gridlab.org/more-solar-in-…

The ERCOT fuel mix chart has been updated to include 2023! A few thoughts: - ERCOT is 40% carbon-free - solar looking like wind circa 2010 - coal decline offset by wind + solar - gas variability driven by gas prices - wind & solar are not displacing gas at all

About to speak at SXSW — what should I talk about?

A total solar eclipse will pass over the ERCOT region on Monday, April 8, 2024, between approximately 12:10 p.m. and 3:10 p.m. CDT. ERCOT has been proactively working on forecasting models to reflect reduced solar power production (similar to a sunset and sunrise in the middle of

Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce that I have been appointed to the City of Austin Electric Utility Commission! Thank you Councilmember Natasha Harper-Madison for the chance to serve! I am looking forward to helping keep Austin on the path to a clean and resilient energy future!

Texas has the chance to make a hydrogen economy feel like a breeze 🌬️ With so much wind and solar energy in Texas and a strong hydrogen infrastructure, engineers can use it to produce clean hydrogen for a cheaper price. Tap below to learn how we can lead in a hydrogen economy.
