DER Task Force

we are hyped to be featured in Rolling Stone highlighting the human side of clean energy! ☀️ while the sustainability benefits of solar + wind energy for planet earth are more often reported, press often overlook another sustainability perk: clean energy can create more equitable power paradigms between humans 🧍♂️🧍♀️🧍 thanks to Melissa Jun Rowley for thoughtfully capturing this story of equity and optimism in an often bleak media landscape, and DER Task Force for being our BFFs on this solar journey🙏 while we’re still figuring things out, we’re excited to keep exploring how creatives and communities can simultaneously contribute to and benefit from the new power structures that clean energy has the potential to create🔋

We just posted the full Power Markets panels from DERVOS with James McGinniss, Eric Goff, Brian Bartholomew, Jacob Mays, and Andy Reger. The most common question after the panel was "WTF is full strength energy pricing?!?" If you only have 5 minutes, watch the video below. And here's the link to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/ewtT3Qhz

We had a live artist in the audience at DERVOS who was inspired to create this work of art! Thanks for sharing, Ulysses (https://uly.xyz/)

We just published Tim Hade's DERVOS kickoff on our website (full video) and podcast (audio only). But if you don't have the time for that today, at least watch how he ended it. We are capable of doing amazing things.

Are data centers loudly pointing to nuclear but quietly ordering gas plants? At DERVOS (our annual summit) last Friday, Astrid Atkinson (CEO and co-founder of Camus Energy) pointed out that major gas turbine OEMs are pointing to Data Centers as a massive growth area, to the extent that they could loose all utility turbine orders for the next decade and be fine due to the quantity of data center orders on the books. But what about all of those SMR announcements for the 2030s? Interesting times ahead...

If you're looking for another event now that DERVOS has passed, join Latitude Media in Washington, DC, for Transition-AI 2024. The conference will build on the themes of @Latitude Media's past events — how utilities, developers, operators, and climate tech vendors can leverage AI to tackle the next generation of grid challenges — and add critical discussions of how AI-fueled data centers are driving the next wave of load growth across the entire power sector.

THE FINAL DERVOS SCHEDULE IS HERE!!! We have an absolutely insane event in store for you. Check it out and buy tickets here: https://lnkd.in/eq2DkBAW

DERVOS Sneak Peak: Circuit Breaker Session with Mary Powell and david roberts A little over a year ago David Roberts (Volts podcast) sat down with Mary Powell (CEO of Sunrun and DER legend) to discuss how we can unlock scale for rooftop solar and home batteries in the US. Since then, a ton has transpired - load growth is back, PJM capacity prices skyrocketed, solar and battery prices are falling dramatically again, NEM3 has slowed California’s rooftop solar growth, nuclear plants are getting restarted, Pakistan may be in the midst of a utility death spiral, and more. At DERVOS these two will be catching up for a part 2 of their discussion. It will be a special opportunity to review the past year and chart a course for the future of DERs with two giants in our space. Reminder, only a handful of tickets are left at the discounted price, which means the standard pricing will kick in imminently. This is your last chance to save some coin! https://lnkd.in/gMUj5qev
