Engineer friends - come work with us at Natural Resources Defense Council's Sustainable FERC Project! We're hiring a Power Grid Engineer to support our work across the country on the energy transition. This is a critical time to focus on the power grid as load growth, renewable energy deployment, and extreme weather lead to a complicated (and interesting!) set of issues. We're looking for someone with an engineering (or similar) degree, 4 years of experience, and specific experience in transmission system planning. Preference for candidates based in #NYC, #DC, or #Chicago.
P.S. Not only is the work interesting and important, but we have a really great team. tinyurl.com/jbkvj5ft

Good news! The Supreme Court just rejected an attempt to halt regulation that would limit dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. We can't let fossil fuel interests impede any more progress.

This new study revealed the benefits of joining a wider western grid. The report showed that BPA's net system cost decreases by $65 million from joining EDAM.

EDAM allows utilities to share resources more efficiently, which enhances system reliability and lowers costs to consumers.
And the bigger the better. A West-wide RTO that includes California could provide $2 billion in annual cost-savings.

Why won’t PJM, the largest U.S. grid operator, let power plants and wind/solar farms use spare grid capacity to add batteries and clean power? Clean energy groups want federal regulators to open this pathway to bolster an increasingly stressed-out grid:

"At a moment when demand for electricity is on the rise, consumers can’t afford the status quo," writes Caitlin Marquis of Advanced Energy United.

The astounding 7-fold spike in capacity prices from PJM's most recent capacity auction came as a shock, but not a surprise, to those who have watched the grid operator for years.
In a new blog, SFP's Claire Lang-Ree unpacks the drivers of the increase.

Adding just 7 GW of new entry could have lowered the market clearing price from $269.92/MW-day to as low as $98, or by as much as 63%.

PJM has the tools in its toolbox to bring down prices and ensure a reliable, clean supply of electricity for years to come.
If it acts now, these price increases can just be a bump in the road to a more affordable, resilient grid.

The power grid in the Western U.S. needs upgrading, especially to withstand extreme heat, say @GovernorHobbs & @GovMLG.
Regional cooperation and investment is how we make #TransmissionPossible in the West!

Today, legislators from 10 states called on PJM to quickly implement FERC Order 1920.

When it comes to adding new electricity sources, the nation’s largest grid operator is stuck in the mud.
This week, alongside a group of environmental organizations, we filed a protest to challenge PJM’s refusal to comply with Order 2023

PJM’s inaction on interconnection is more than just an obstacle to cleaner and more affordable energy online.
It’s an obstacle to building a reliable grid that can withstand extreme weather events.

And today we joined a letter with 27 other organizations addressing PJM's request for rehearing of FERC Order 1920.
If PJM wants to get serious about reliability, it’s time to stop arguing about interconnection and transmission planning and get to work.

FERC is a full house again!
With the Commission back to five, we now need to focus on the hard work ahead. Read the latest from @ChristyWalshDC & @GillianEnergy on a few areas in need of critical attention:
