- EDF recently reported #nuclear output numbers for France for Q1 - 2025. 102.7 TWh up 6.4% Y-Y. Good results. Nuclear output could surpass 400 TWh in 2025 - for the first time since 2015. #energysky
- And thats even with a lot of curtailment for mid-day solar. Blows my mind they do that.
- Interconnectors and more BESS around Europe should help drive more usage for French nuclear... Spain- France www.hitachienergy.com/us/en/news-a... Ireland-France www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster... UK-France (maybe) www.reuters.com/business/ene... BESS www.pv-magazine.com/2024/12/04/t...
- Oil prices... How low can they go? #energysky
- I wonder how many under-construction reactors China can handle simultaneously? Build times are currently 5-6 years. That would mean 50-60 reactors under construction. PRIS currently has 28 reactors listed as under-construction in China pris.iaea.org/PRIS/Country...
- China approves construction of 10 new nuclear reactors, the fourth year in a row in which 10 new reactors were initiated. China had 60 GW of nuclear power last year, expects 65 GW by end of this year, and 200 GW by 2040. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... Expected cost per reactor? $2.7 billion. 🔌💡 ⚛️

- 2) Poland has plans for three nuclear reactors to come online in 2036. In the meantime, they should continue to rapidly build out their home-grown wind and solar. #energysky Poland could easily have 2/3 of its electricity based on solar/wind BEFORE nuclear joins the party. #Poland
- A hybrid with 90 miles of battery range - means most folks will rarely use the ICE engine... #energysky electrek.co/2025/04/26/b...
- Check out some great info on the recent ERCOT fact sheet, including over 30GW of installed solar and a solar penetration record of 56.6% in March 2025. #energysky Source: www.ercot.com/files/docs/2...
- "More than 3,500 staffers are preparing to leave the Energy Department in coming days, gutting offices tasked with doling out billions of dollars tied to the climate and bipartisan infrastructure laws... " @jigarshahdc.bsky.social #energysky www.eenews.net/articles/det...

- busted link....
- CAISO continues to build out its battery storage. I expect this record will surpass 12,000 MW by Sept/Oct. @californiaiso.bsky.social #energysky One other note: similar to rooftop solar, consumers in CA continue to add battery storage to their homes. This is not included in these stats.

- Below are some numbers supporting John's comment. Also: 1) Solar/wind are faster than demand - big deal! 2) Nuclear will start contributing more during the rest of the decade. 3) If China has a down year economically (2025/2026), clean energy will displace a lot of coal.
- Good to see...

- Yeah will be interesting to see how much curtailment there was...

- Who will be the first Cabinet member to resign and/or be fired? 1) Bessent? 2) Hegseth? 3) Lutnick? Over/under is June 30th. I am going under. www.rawstory.com/bessent-trum...

- Think of it more as a protection racket... Tony Soprano style. bsky.app/profile/chri...
- Interesting... It's not just EV buyers who are looking for #Tesla alternatives. Will this sentiment spread to utility-scale storage as well? For instance, maybe @calcca.bsky.social members like @sonomacleanpower.bsky.social or @mcecleanenergy.org will look for #anythingbutTesla storage products.

- Thanks for this info Taylor. “Stupid is as stupid does”
- Dang! Will we have 1,000W by 2030? That would simplify the ordering for utility-scale projects. 😀

- Are commercial-scale battery systems a no-brainer? - Reduce demand charges - participate in demand response programs what else?

- MISO broke its record today - now 46%! 👍 www.gridstatus.io/records/miso... Plus, let's not forget : NYISO = 44% ISONE = 45% and especially: CAISO = 166% Thanks to @gridstatus.io

- Irish wind to France and French nuclear/solar to Ireland - a 700 MW connection. Currently - on a Sunday - Irish demand is about 3,500 MW.
