The Department of Energy (DOE) has finalized a rule that forces manufacturers to sell only furnaces that convert at least 95% of fuel into heat. NFIB will consider S.J. Res. 58, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to repeal the DOE final rule on gas furnace efficiency standards, as an #NFIB Key Vote for the 118th Congress.

"The revised rule [Order 1920-A] requires transmission providers to include state input about how future scenarios used in long-term regional transmission planning will be developed....FERC also required transmission providers to include any state-agreed cost allocation proposals in their compliance plans, even if the transmission provider is proposing their own cost allocation method. FERC can choose the state plan as long as it complies with Order 1920 and cost causation principles." https://lnkd.in/e96WrZbe; Order 1920-A at https://lnkd.in/eVTJ4xcF

Impressive visualization, really helps understand the water flow through an engine.

Providers wishing to participate in Quick Reserve can pre-qualify their assets through the Single Markets Platform in readiness for service go live and register to take part in a series of mock auctions.

Did you know, on average, it costs half as much to cook with a gas range as a similar electric range? A natural gas range heats-up and cools down quicker and features easy temperature control. Learn more at: ewst.com #NaturalGas ##SustainableEnergy #Ewst

The task of calculating the potential costs and benefits of new transmission vary widely by region, and the method chosen plays an important role in determining which facilities get built. E3 recently supported the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) in developing a congestion cost savings test fit for the ERCOT market. We reviewed the tests used in transmission planning throughout North America, Australia, and Ireland to inform the recommended approach for ERCOT. Here’s what we found: https://lnkd.in/gbPV9MGz

LS182 spectrum transmission meter is a device that can test the SHGC value (that is, the total solar transmittance, also called the solar heat gain coefficient), 940nm, 1400nm, TSER and Full IR rejection rate, 365nm ultraviolet rejection rate and 380nm-760nm visible light transmittance. #spectrum #transmission #meter #SHGC #TESR #IRR #transmittance #solar

We are thrilled that FERC said NO to PJM's proposal to give even more power to transmission companies. Here's our statement: "We commend the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for rejecting this anti-consumer proposal by PJM and the Transmission Owners, which would have given large corporations with a profit motive far too much power and secrecy in transmission planning....We’re glad FERC saw through PJM and the Transmission Owners’ power grab."

If you want to understand the nitty gritty of how economic transmission gets evaluated, we've got you covered. We did a comprehensive review of economic transmission evaluation methods used across North America and some global markets as part of a project we completed for ERCOT. The findings of this review helped us develop a congestion cost test fit for the ERCOT market. Check out our report here if you'd like to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gbPV9MGz
