Markus möchte jetzt Pop-Up-AKWs, Kernkraftwerke die wieder verschwinden, bevor überhaupt jemand mitbekommen hat das da eins war. Nach dem Motto "In Bayern strahlt das AKW, der Söder lächelt und sagt schee" werden die Standorte nach den neuesten politisch, demokratischen Standards ermittelt, per Losverfahren. Als Endlager für die Brennstäbe dienen die verwaisten Wohnungen der Mitglieder der Jungen Union, die sich geschlossen, nach der Forderung der Einführung der Wehrpflicht, für 70 Jahre bei der Bundeswehr verpflichtet haben. Wer so konsequent bei der Rentenpolitik ist, muss auch glaubwürdig bei der Verteidigungspolitik rüberkommen. Eine Glosse von Helmut Schleich.

Während die Junge Gruppe der Union das Reformvorhaben für die Rente weiter ablehnt, spielt CSU-Chef Markus Söder eine entscheidende Rolle. Er hält die Koalition zusammen, nutzt aber den Moment, um seine eigene Handschrift in der Sozialpolitik zu betonen. Vor allem mit der Mütterrente, die Milliarden kostet und weitere Konflikte auslöst. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Konrad Körner, jüngster CSU-Abgeordneter im Bundestag, über Generationengerechtigkeit, Loyalität und die Frage, wie weit Kompromisse gehen dürfen.Danach richtet sich der Blick in die USA. Dort steht die mögliche Freigabe der Epstein-Akten bevor.

Umbrische Landschaften erinnern an Ölgemälde mit gedeckten Brauntönen: Mittelalterliche Dörfer mit verwinkelten Kopfsteinpflastergassen thronen auf bewaldeten Bergrücken. Hinter dicken Stadtmauern aus ockerfarbenem Bruchstein finden bunte Gemüsemärkte statt. In den Sibillinischen Bergen ziehen Schäfer mit ihren Herden über sattgrüne Wiesen, aus dieser Gegend stammt auch das Lammfleisch, das die Italiener für herzhafte Eintöpfe verwenden. Das italienische Fremdenverkehrsamt nennt Umbrien „das grüne Herz“ Italiens. Bereits im Mittelalter galt diese Region als Kornkammer, auch heute bauen Landwirte viel Dinkel und Weizen an. Ähnlich wie in der mondäneren Toskana wechseln sich üppige Getreide- und Sonnenblumenfelder ab. Bis heute spürbar ist der Einfluss der Etrusker, die in Umbrien bereits in vorchristlichen Jahrhunderten Reben und Olivenbäume kultivierten. Zu Umbrien gehört kein Meer, dafür der viertgrößte See Italiens, der Lago di Trasimeno. Hier schlug Hannibal die römische Armee. Auch einige Prominente haben die Schönheit Umbriens entdeckt und sich Anwesen gekauft. Der „Star Wars“-Regisseur George Lucas richtete in einem früheren Kapuzinerkloster zehn Suiten ein. Der Sänger Ed Sheeran zieht sich gerne nach Paciano zurück, das zu den Borghi più belli, den schönsten Dörfern Italiens, zählt. Gleich zwei berühmte Ordensgründer kommen aus Umbrien. Benedikt von Nursia und Franziskus von Assisi. Auf den Spuren dieser Männer pilgern viele Reisende aus aller Welt von Dorf zu Dorf, um an den Schauplätzen zu sein, die im Leben der Männer eine Rolle spielten. Ein Höhepunkt ist die Basilika San Francesco in Assisi. Genau hier, am Grab des heiligen Franziskus, beginnt die Reise unserer Autorin Isa Hoffinger, die neben alten Villen und berühmten Kirchen das Festival Umbria Jazz besuchte.

Royal Republic zünden 2010 mit „Tommy Gun“ eine Rock-Hymne, die gerade mal zweieinhalb Minuten dauert – aber einschlägt wie eine Granate. Der Song ist rotzig, voller Energie und hat eine skurrile Prämisse: Der Sänger fleht seine Liebste an, ihn mit einer Thompson-Maschinenpistole zu erledigen – natürlich nur sinnbildlich. Aber genau das macht „Tommy Gun“ so spannend: Man fragt sich einfach direkt, was dahintersteckt.

Mit "White City (A Novel)" veröffentlichte Pete Townshend 1985 ein sehr persönliches Album. Es erzählt die Geschichte von seiner Jugend und dem Aufwachsen in Londons Sozialsiedlungen. "White City (A Novel)" erschien am 11. November 1985 als das fünfte Solo-Album des Sängers und The Who-Gitarristen Pete Townshend. Mit dem Album reflektiert Townshend seine eigene Kindheit und beschreibt die Welt, aus der er stammt. Der Sänger wuchs in der Nachkriegszeit in West London, in der Nähe des realen White City-Viertels auf. Die Gegend war in der Zeit eine Sozialbausiedlung, geprägt von Hoffnungslosigkeit, Gewalt und sozialer Ungerechtigkeit. Das Foto des Albumcovers wurde tatsächlich auch in diesem Viertel aufgenommen. Pete Townshends Eltern trennten sich, als er etwa fünf Jahre alt war. Da beide Musiker waren und oft unterwegs, musste er bei seiner Großmutter leben. Diese Zeit war für ihn äußerst traumatisch, da er dort emotionale Misshandlung erfuhr. Ende der 1970er- und Anfang der 1980er-Jahre verlor Townshend mehrere enge Weggefährten, was ihn stark prägte und in eine Depression stürzte. Zusammen mit seinen Kindheitserfahrungen verarbeitete er dies zunächst in der Therapie und später auch künstlerisch in "White City (A Novel)". "White City (A Novel)" greift tiefgehende existenzielle und soziale Themen auf und gibt Einblicke in die traumatische Kindheit von Pete Townshend. Für Meilensteine Redakteur Stephan Fahrig ist es ein Album, dass wegen seiner ernsten Inhalte besonders aus dem eher künstlichen Image der 1980er heraussticht. Meilensteine Redakteurin Katharina Heinius sieht das Werk sogar als den Abschluss einer Trilogie, die mit "Tommy" beginnt, mit "Quadrophenia" fortgeführt wird und schließlich in "White City (A Novel)" endet. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "White City (A Novel)" wird im Podcast gesprochen (21:19) – "Give Blood"(36:12) – "Come To Mama"(39:14) – "Brilliant Blues"(45:15) – "Face The Face"(54:47) – "White City Fighting"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "White City (A Novel)" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/pete-townshend-white-city-a-novel __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

HAYATIMIN EN ACI DERSİ İspanya'nın güneyinde Estepona isimli küçük bir kasabada büyüdüm. On altı yaşındayken bir sabah babam benden kendisini arabayla 30 kilometre uzaktaki bir köye götürmemi istedi. Ancak onu Mijas'a götürdükten sonra arabayı bakım için yakındaki bir tamirhaneye bırakmam gerekiyordu. Araba kullanmayı öğrenmiştim fakat pratik yapmak için pek de fırsatım olmamıştı. Onun için bu teklifi hemen kabul ettim. Babamı Mijas'a götürdüm. Onu öğleden sonra saat dörtte alacaktım. Sonra arabayı tamirhaneye bıraktım. Birkaç saat vaktim vardı. Ben de tamirhanenin yakınında bir sinemada film izlemeye karar verdim. Fakat sinemada çok vakit geçirdiğimin farkında değildim. Saat altı olmuştu. Dolayısıyla iki saat geç kalmıştım. Babam, sinemaya gittiğimi öğrenirse bana kızabilirdi. Bir daha arabayı kullanmama izin vermezdi. Ona tamirhanede arabanın işini uzun sürdüğünü söylemeye karar verdim. Buluşacağımız yere vardığımda babamın caddenin köşesinde umutla olduğunu gördüm. Geç kaldığım için özür diledikten sonra ona arabanın işinin uzadığını söyledim. Bunun üzerine babamın bana nasıl baktığını asla unu­tamam. Babam:   – Bana yalan söylediğin için çok üzüldüm Jason, dedi. – Ne demek istiyorsun baba? Gerçeği söylüyorum, dedim. Babam, bana tekrar baktı. – Sen geç kalınca tamirhaneyi aradım ve bir problem olup olmadığını sordum. Bana senin henüz arabayı almaya gelmediğini söylediler. Yani araba ile ilgili bir problem olmadığını biliyorum. Birden ne kadar büyük bir suç işlediğimi anladım ve babama gerçeği itiraf ettim. Babam beni üzgün bir şekilde dinledi. – Kızgınım ama sana değil, kendime. Eğer sen bunca yıldan sonra bana yalan söyleyebiliyorsan demek ki ben iyi bir baba olamamışım. Kendi babasına bile yalan söyleyebilen bir çocuk yetiştirmişim. Eve yürüyerek döneceğim ve bu arada neyi yanlış yaptığımı düşüneceğim. – Ama baba... Eve 30 kilometre yol var ve hava da karardı. O kadar yolu yürüyemezsin, dedim. Babam, ne özür dilemelerime, ne itirazlarıma, ne de diğer söylediklerime kulak astı. Onu hayal kırıklığına uğratmıştım ve hayatımın en acı derslerinden birini almak üzereydim. Babam, tozlu yollarda yürümeye başladı. Ben de arkasından arab ile onu izliyordum. Ondan özür diliyor ve arabaya binmesini rica ediyordum. Maalesef beni duymazdan geliyor ve üzgün bir şekilde yürümeye devam ediyordu. 30 kilometre boyunca 10 kilometre süratle onu takip ettim. Babamın hem bedensel hem de duygusal olarak bu kadar sıkıntı çekmesine şahit olmak hayatımın en üzücü ve acı veren dersi olmuştur. Aldığım bu dersten sonra bir daha yalan söylemedim. Jason BOCARRO

Rooftop solar. Backup batteries. Smart EV chargers. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are changing the way electricity is generated, managed, and used in Ontario. In this thinkenergy short, Trevor Freeman breaks down how DERs can reduce your carbon footprint, provide backup power during outages, and help you manage your energy costs. Listen in for how net metering, load displacement, and evolving tech partnerships are reshaping the future of the grid and giving you more control over your energy.   Related links   Breaking down Distributed Energy Resources, with Hydro Ottawa's Trevor Freeman (thinkenergy episode 146): https://thinkenergypodcast.com/episodes/breaking-down-distributed-energy-resources-with-hydro-ottawas-trevor-freeman/     Consumer impact: revisiting grid modernization with Capgemini Canada (thinkenergy episode 162): https://thinkenergypodcast.com/episodes/consumer-impact-revisiting-grid-modernization-with-capgemini-canada/     Save on Energy programs: https://saveonenergy.ca/en/For-Business-and-Industry/Programs-and-incentives/Retrofit-Program     Trevor Freeman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-freeman-p-eng-8b612114    Hydro Ottawa: https://hydroottawa.com/en      To subscribe using Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinkenergy/id1465129405   To subscribe using Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wFz7rdR8Gq3f2WOafjxpl   To subscribe on Libsyn: http://thinkenergy.libsyn.com/ --- Subscribe so you don't miss a video: https://www.youtube.com/user/hydroottawalimited   Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydroottawa   Stay in the know on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HydroOttawa   Keep up with the posts on X: https://twitter.com/thinkenergypod - Transcript: Welcome to a think energy short hosted by me, Trevor Freeman. This is a bite sized episode designed to be a quick summary of a specific topic or idea related to the world of energy. This is meant to round out our collective understanding of the energy sector, and will complement our normal guest interview episodes. Thanks for joining and happy listening. Hi everyone, and welcome back. Today on think energy, I'm going to talk about distributed energy resources, or DERs. Now, if you've been listening to the show for a long time or even a short time, you will have heard us talk about DERs many times before, and for good reason. DERs are an important and growing part of our energy lives. About a year ago, I did an episode diving into what DERs are, and I encourage you to go back and listen to that one. But today I thought I do a quick refresh and talk about some of the most common ways that DERs are used. So, let's dive right in. First the refresh.  DERs or distributed energy resources, are simply pieces of equipment that can generate or store power, generally on the smaller scale size of things, and spread throughout the grid. So, we're not talking about large scale, centralized generation plants here, but that small to medium scale, kind of think rooftop solar or batteries that are sized for home or facility use. And generally, when we're talking about DERs, we're focused on renewable technology like solar panels or batteries, and in some cases, you know, smaller wind turbines. For the most part on this show, that's what we're focused on. However, there are sort of non-renewable DERs as well, and we'll actually touch on that a little bit later. So, let's dive into what some of the reasons are why someone would want a der there's a couple of different reasons. The first is for backup during an outage. So, using solar panels, especially if paired with a battery, can give you some backup if there's an outage from the grid, whether that's a storm or an accident or something like that, that backup power can be focused on your key devices or systems or appliances, or if your storage is big enough, or your system is big enough, it may be used to power your whole home for a period of Time. Of course, if you're using one of those nonrenewable sources that I mentioned, like a fossil fuel power generator, for example, then your backup supply can last longer, really, as long as you've got fuel, but it's not clean, so you will be producing carbon emissions. One emerging technology that we'll likely see more of in the future is using an electric vehicle for this purpose. So, while there's only a few different models that allow this right now, the Ford f1 50 is one of them, and there are some safety and regulatory considerations before you go ahead and do this, we can expect to see more of this in the future as the technology advances and it becomes a bit more widespread. Another reason for DERs is financial. Installing a der can actually help you save money every month, whether that's just by reducing what you consume from the grid or by pushing back unused generation to the grid for credits. And I'll touch on this a little bit more shortly. Finally, if we're talking about those renewable DERs, they produce clean energy. So that's carbon, free emissions, free energy. And if you are concerned about your carbon footprint, you're trying to decarbonize and reduce the amount of emissions that you cause. DERs, renewable DERs are a great way to do that. You can lower your carbon footprint by reducing how much you draw from the electricity grid and any carbon emissions that are associated with that. Okay, so let's go back to the financial use case for a minute and talk about the different ways that that's possible. I'll be speaking about the Ontario context here. So, if you're listening from outside of Ontario, you'll have to do a little bit of your own research to figure out what options exist where you live. One option to set up your der for financial reasons is net metering, which I kind of alluded to earlier. Net metering is a setup for renewable generation sources only that allows you to use as much of your generation as you can to power your home when you're using it, and then push back whatever you don't use to the grid. Whatever you push back to the grid, will give you a credit on your bill that you can use to offset the electricity charge portion of your bill. Another option would be load displacement. With this arrangement, you can generate electricity exclusively for your own use, so you will reduce the amount that you pull from the grid, and that will save you money, but you don't push anything back to the grid, and therefore you don't earn any credits. And finally, there are standalone generation setups. This arrangement involves pushing all of your generation back to the grid for some agreed upon compensation. While there used to be programs for small scale standalone generation so you might be familiar and on. Ontario with the fit or the MicroFit programs that existed about 10 years ago. These programs are closed today, and generally only large generators have a standalone arrangement. Now, like any technology, DERs are not free to install. In fact, they can be quite pricey in some cases, but because they provide benefit to the grid. There are incentive programs out there to help reduce the upfront costs. Here in Ontario, the ISOs save on energy programs provide an incentive to any customer type, from residential all the way up to large commercial to install rooftop solar, and homeowners can access additional funding to install the battery along with their solar. If you're interested in doing this, or you want to learn a little bit more, you can reach out to your LDC, visit our website. If you're in hydro Ottawa's territory, or visit save on energy.ca. In the near future, you will also likely see more utilities wanting to partner with der owners. I talked about this a little bit in my last episode with Andrea Nusser About grid modernization here at hydro Ottawa, we are working on a technology project that will be launched next year that will enable der owners to leverage their devices for an incentive to help manage the grid in targeted areas. It's pretty exciting stuff, and it's really the next wave of distributed energy resources on our grid and how we're going to interact with them. It's pretty exciting. So, there you have it. That's a quick summary of the different ways that DERs are used.

O consumo de um dos pratos mais tradicionais da culinária brasileira - o Arroz com Feijão - vem caindo de forma preocupante. Foi lançada uma campanha para mudar esse cenário.

Yesterday, Base Power announced a $1 billion series C, giving the residential battery company an eye-popping $4 billion post-money valuation. Base manufactures, installs, owns, and operates residential batteries — a vertical integration strategy that CEO Zach Dell says is the “magic” to beating utility-scale batteries on CapEx. The company also acts as an electricity retailer and sells generation capacity. So how does Base's business model work? And what will it do with its new fundraise?  In this episode, Shayle talks to Zach about Base's business model, the vertical integration strategy, and the challenges ahead. They cover topics like: The customer value proposition: how customers pay for backup power and Base uses the batteries for grid services Bases's “gentailer” business model in ERCOT, earning revenue from monthly customer fees, retail electricity sales, and battery arbitrage The regulated market approach, where Base sells capacity directly to utilities Base's vertical integration strategy: from ground-mounted designs to decoupled installation processes Challenges like managing a fixed workforce amid fluctuating demand and the declining price volatility in ERCOT Resources: New York Times: Base Power, a Battery-Focused Power Company, Raises $1 Billion Open Circuit: Is this moment for distributed energy different?   Catalyst: Is now the time for DERs to scale?  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Demand response was the original distributed energy resource. In its early days, it was surprisingly manual: a grid operator would call up a large load, like a factory, and request a few hours of reduced demand during peak times. Fast forward to today and DERs look dramatically different. They're automated, deployed frequently across the country, and include everything from EVs and thermostats to sophisticated management systems at paper mills and data centers.  So how did DERs evolve from phone calls to fully fledged virtual power plants? And what role do they play now as electricity demand surges? In this episode, Shayle talks to Dana Guernsey, co-founder and CEO of DER and VPP developer Voltus. She is also the former Director of Energy Markets at EnerNOC, a pioneer in demand response. Shayle and Dana cover topics like: The changing mix of customers and resources, as well as the evolving use cases Voltus's new “Bring Your Own Capacity” model, allowing large loads like data centers to fund regional VPPs The barriers that hold DERs back, like access to data The market forces shaping DER adoption, including load growth, declining system costs, and market structures How DERs stack up against conventional power plants in meeting rising demand Resources: Open Circuit: The grid flexibility solutions staring us in the face Catalyst: Is now the time for DERs to scale?   Catalyst: Making DERs work for load growth   Catalyst: PJM and the capacity crunch   Latitude Media: Google expands demand response to target machine learning workloads Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Die Wall Street startet vorsichtig in den Mittwoch. Die Futures liegen leicht im Plus, angetrieben von einer kleinen Erholung bei Nvidia nach den deutlichen Verlusten am Vortag. Dennoch bleibt die Stimmung im KI-Sektor angespannt, da Investoren zunehmend auf die Risiken sogenannter zirkulärer Finanzierungen blicken. Micron konnte mit seinen Zahlen zwar überzeugen, doch die Aktie fiel zuletzt ins Minus – die Erwartungen waren schlicht hoch. Der S&P 500 hatte am Dienstag nach drei Gewinntagen in Folge schwächer geschlossen, obwohl er zuvor noch ein Allzeithoch markierte. Analysten wie bei Wells Fargo sehen den KI-Boom weiter intakt. Es sei kein Hype, sondern ein fundamentaler Trend, der die Nasdaq seit Jahren nach vorne treibt. Besonders Micron könnte davon profitieren: JPMorgan hat das Kursziel auf 220 Dollar angehoben und sieht die Speicherchips der nächsten Generation als Wachstumstreiber. Gleichzeitig bleiben Anleger vorsichtig: Am Donnerstag stehen die wöchentlichen Arbeitslosenzahlen an, am Freitag folgt der wichtige PCE-Inflationsbericht. Auch die drohende Haushaltsblockade in Washington sorgt für Nervosität, nachdem Präsident Trump ein Treffen mit den Demokraten abgesagt hat.

Die Wall Street startet schwächer in die Woche: Nach den Rekordschlüssen von Dow Jones und S&P 500 am Freitag geben die US-Aktienfutures am Montagmorgen nach. Dow-Futures verlieren rund 175 Punkte beziehungsweise 0,4 Prozent, S&P-500-Futures liegen 0,3 Prozent im Minus, der Nasdaq-100-Future fällt um 0,4 Prozent. Belastend wirkt das zunehmende Risiko eines Regierungsstillstands: Der Senat hat vergangene Woche Übergangsvorlagen beider Parteien abgelehnt, während die Frist zur Haushaltsfinanzierung am 30. September abläuft und der Druck auf ein kurzfristiges Agreement steigt. Zugleich blicken Anleger auf eine starke Vorwoche zurück: Der S&P 500 legte um 1,2 Prozent zu, der Dow um 1,0 Prozent, der Nasdaq um 2,2 Prozent und der Small-Cap-Index Russell 2000 ebenfalls um 2,2 Prozent – seine siebte Gewinnwoche in Folge. Rückenwind kam von der ersten Zinssenkung der Federal Reserve seit Dezember: Die Notenbank senkte den Leitzins um 25 Basispunkte und signalisierte angesichts nachlassender Arbeitsmarktdynamik einen gemäßigteren Kurs. Laut CME FedWatch preisen die Märkte bis Jahresende zwei weitere Schritte um jeweils 25 Basispunkte ein. Entscheidend bleibt damit der Datenfluss: In dieser Woche steht der Preisindex für private Konsumausgaben (PCE) an, das bevorzugte Inflationsmaß der Fed, das voraussichtlich erhöhten Preisdruck zeigt – idealerweise moderat genug, um den Lockerungspfad zu stützen. Barclays-Stratege Emmanuel Cau mahnt gleichwohl zur Daten- statt Zinsfantasie: Bei Kursen nahe Allzeithochs und Zinsmärkten, die über die nächsten zwölf Monate weiterhin rund fünf zusätzliche Senkungen einpreisen, dürfte die weitere Unterstützung für Aktien eher von robusten Makrodaten als von noch lockererer Geldpolitik abhängen.

A decade ago, DERs were hot. The hype was that things like batteries, smart devices, and other distributed energy technologies would offset the need for expanding traditional grid infrastructure. But DERs never took off, at least not at the scale that many hoped for. They had high price tags and short track records compared to the existing substations, transmission lines, and generation options  that utilities were familiar with. In short, the market didn't need them yet. Fast forward 10 years, and things have changed. Load growth is increasing  while major grid bottlenecks — like in transmission, interconnection, and supply chains — may be opening up a new opportunity.  So is the time finally right for DERs? In this episode, Shayle talks to his colleague Andy Lubershane, partner and head of research at Energy Impact Partners. Last week, Andy published a blog post making the case that DERs were a good idea that was just too early, but the market is ready now. Shayle and Andy cover topics like: What held DERs back a decade ago  Why now is different, including falling system costs and growing grid bottlenecks The difference between demand response and virtual power plants The potential hurdles to scale, like supply chain bottlenecks, foreign entity of concern regulations, and fire codes Resources: Latitude Media: Can distributed energy answer AI's power problem?   Open Circuit: The grid flexibility solutions staring us in the face   Catalyst: Making DERs work for load growth   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

In diesem Check-Out sprechen Vera Strauch und Cordelia Röders-Arnold über das Thema Routinen im Arbeitsalltag – und warum es sich lohnt, immer wieder neu hinzuschauen: Welche Routinen geben uns Halt, Orientierung und Sicherheit? Und welche engen uns ein, nehmen uns Energie oder halten uns davon ab, flexibel und kreativ zu sein?Die Unterschiedlichkeit macht sie hier aus. Während Vera vom intermediären Fasten berichtet, ist Cordelia nichts heiliger als die Mittagspause.

Manche Dinge klingen schier unbegreiflich. Meistens genau so lange, bis sie einem selbst passieren. Wer hat nicht auch schon ungläubig den Kopf geschüttelt, wenn man in der Zeitung gelesen hat: „Wohnwagenfahrer vergisst Ehefrau an Tankstelle im Rheinland und bemerkt das Ganze erst auf der Fähre in Genua.“ Ein ganz ähnlicher Fauxpas ist nun den beiden Profi-Podcastern Jakob Lundt & Thomas Schmitt unterlaufen. Während die beiden nach der Baywatch Berlin Summer Breeze wieder frisch rasiert im Florida-TV-Gag-Blaumann zum Dienst erschienen sind, ist einfach niemandem aufgefallen, dass Klaas leider nicht rechtzeitig zum Saisonstart aus Italien abgeholt wurde. Klar, ein gewisser Teil der Verantwortung ist auch Klaas anzulasten. Der wiederum kann aber zu seiner Verteidigung vorbringen, dass die Firma „Peroni“ erstmals im Jahr 2025 ein neues Getränk namens „Peroncino” auf den Markt gebracht hat. Das sind etwas kleinere Peroni-Glasflaschen. Die bleiben länger kalt, haben ein schickes Etikett – und wenn etwas erst mal gekauft ist, kann man das ja nicht einfach alles wegschmeißen. Kurzum: Arbeit, Schmarbeit – es kann sich nicht ein Mensch (Klaas) um alle Probleme der Menschheit gleichzeitig kümmern. Die Latenz des Zugeschalteten wird natürlich von den anderen sofort ausgenutzt, indem sie Heufer-Umlauf spüren lassen, dass eine halbe Sekunde Delay in der Podcast-Währung direkt ein Timing-Bankrott bedeuten kann. Um unnötige historische Vergleiche selten verlegen, zitiert Schmitt an dieser Stelle sogar Gorbatschow: „Wer zu spät kommt, den bestraft das Leben!“ Ist die Sowjetunion am Ende an einem wackligen Zoom-Call gescheitert und fliegt Putin deshalb und gar nicht für einen geschenkten Porzellanadler als Briefbeschwerer um die halbe Welt? Was man ausserdem in dieser Ausgabe lernen kann: Die Arbeit zur Erhaltung des Planeten und seiner Arten wird gerecht aufgeteilt. Der Sänger der Böhsen Onkelz kümmert sich um den Klimawandel & um den Fortbestand von Bienen. Donald Trump schenkt Selenski eine schicke Mütze aus dem MAGA Gift Shop, damit der nicht immer so traurig guckt. Klaas hat versehentlich eine Art Escort-Ring für italienische Mamas ausgehoben, die einem zwar keine sexuellen Dienstleistungen anbieten, aber immerhin Frühstück machen, lieb gucken und die Wäsche bügeln. Währenddessen reist Jakob ab sofort Carsten Maschmeyer hinterher, in der Hoffnung von dessen Schulterpolstern noch etwas von Elton Johns St. Tropez Sonnencreme zu kratzen.

The biggest threat to grid modernization? It might be hiding in your GIS. Utilities are racing toward smarter, more dynamic grid systems—layering on DERs, EVs, ADMS, and DERMS. But there's a hidden bottleneck holding everything back: the massive disconnect between field data and back-office systems. In this episode of Power Perspectives, Adrian McNulty, Vice President of Utility Solutions at IQGeo, joins to dig into why real-time, mobile-first GIS systems are the unsung heroes of the modern grid. Adrian draws from more than two decades of experience in utility software to explain why outdated systems and poor field connectivity are dragging down the potential of advanced grid technologies—and how forward-thinking utilities are fixing it. Tune in to learn why traditional GIS platforms are falling short in the DER era, what it means to truly unify the field and the office around a single source of truth, and how utilities can streamline tools into one spatial solution.

Texas is an oddity in the western electricity world: fastest growing load, ultra-low prices, crazy development of renewables. Texas consumes now more power than France, despite having only half the population. Prices are a factor 4 lower compared to 20 years ago. And 90% of additional load has been provided by Wind and Solar, despite the permanent attacks from the fossil fuel lobby.To make sense of the current situation in Texas, and also talk about the future, with unbelievable projections, full of AI and Datacentres, we have the pleasure of welcoming Arusha Sharma Frank.Arushi Sharma Frank is an energy policy expert with deep expertise in distributed energy resources (DERs) and virtual power plants (VPPs). She pioneered ERCOT frameworks for grid-integrated VPPs and the integration of batteries on the Grid, while at Tesla where she worked between 2020 and 2024. Arushi was a key architect of the Texas Public Utility Commission's Aggregated DER pilot, enhancing grid resilience post-Winter Storm Uri.  The Lone Star State is at the crossroads: will the additional load arrive? Are the renewables in danger? Can fossil fuels make a come-back, or are we seeing this wrongly, as the new model suggest that it is all about flexibility.Finally, the best source for information on renewable energy in Texas is Doug Lewin: www.douglewin.com

Industry expert, Doug Houseman, joins PLMA for a deep dive into the critical role to be played in the energy industry by Distribution Systems Operators (DSOs). We'll explore how DSOs enable DERs, and how DSO business models differ from traditional distribution utility models and why, plus we'll discuss examples of successful DSOs and how they coordinate DER activity via programs and markets. And, we'll answer your questions, including why it's critical we increase flexibility on distribution and transmission systems now, as a path to transitioning the U.S. to a DSO model.

A decade ago, Zach Borton had a lightbulb moment when studying energy economics at Ohio State University: the grid was trending toward decentralization. That realization set him on a path that would eventually lead him to Colorado, where he now serves as DER services manager at Platte River Power Authority.Platte River's 2024 integrated resource plan includes an ambitious goal: 30 megawatts of virtual power plant capacity by 2030. But building a VPP across multiple utility territories isn't just about technology -- it's about coordination, customer engagement, and breaking down organizational silos.This week on With Great Power, Zach explains the technical architecture behind Platte River's VPP strategy, which relies on two interconnected systems: grid derms and edge derms. He also discusses the challenges of aligning five different organizations, the importance of seamless customer enrollment, and why he believes curiosity-driven leadership is his superpower in the energy transition.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.  Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

Apple had just launched its famous "There's an app for that" commercial, and within a few years, more than a million apps were available for download in the app store.Commercial clips: Ever wish you could really read people's emotions? Well, now there's an app for that. Don't have a great voice or any real musical talent? Well, there's an app for that too. You want to get the potholes filled? Well, there's an app for that. There's an app for that...Brad Langley: Zach Borton's family was right there with the rest of America, feverishly downloading apps to manage finances or track the weather or achieve personal fitness goals.Zach Borton: Fitbits were becoming popular and my mom and dad would all compete against different steps, and we wanted to bring that kind of competitive element to the energy space.Brad Langley: At the time, Zach was studying business and sustainability at The Ohio State University.Zach Borton: Most of my classmates were going down the road of corporate social responsibility, sustainability reporting, but I took an energy economics course and that kind of shifted my path.Brad Langley: As part of that course, Zach was presented with some graphics of the power system. One showed the traditional energy value chain with big centralized generation. Another showed the declining cost of rooftop solar and an upward trend for installations.Zach Borton: I realized at that moment we're going from this horse and buggy to car event. Every few generations will have that shift, and I wanted to be a part of that shift.Brad Langley: After graduation, Zach and two friends decided to launch their own energy-focused app, the idea was to show people the impact of their environmentally focused investments.Zach Borton: What we were trying to build is a visualization tool to track environmental metrics such as carbon saved or trees planted, and also kind of that competitive nature of seeing what your friends were investing, what types of projects they were investing in, and then competing with your friends or tracking that with your friends to drive that competitiveness.Brad Langley: Unfortunately, for Zach and his friends, their app didn't make millions, but it did motivate Zach to keep working on some of the big complex problems unfolding in the power sector. So he took a job at American Municipal Power in Columbus, Ohio.Zach Borton: I was a power supply engineer. There was learning kind of the nuts and bolts on how to serve a community with generation, really how to stack those assets for energy, capacity, and transmission. But really despite everything I was learning, I kept going back to those two graphics from that energy economics course.Brad Langley: He just couldn't get one question out of his head. How would the legacy power system interact with all these new DERs? And he wasn't the only one thinking about it.Zach Borton: There was utility of the future white paper coming out of MIT, and so we were really going through that and understanding rather than a centralized approach from these large generators, how can we hedge against energy, capacity, and transmission from within the load?Brad Langley: Once Zach locked into this problem, he just couldn't let it go. So he headed west to Colorado where he now works at a public power utility helping build a virtual power plant.Zach Borton: My job is to take distributed energy resources and make use of them as we transition to a non-carbon grid.Brad Langley: This is With Great Power, a show about the people building the future grid, today. I'm Brad Langley. Some people say utilities are slow to change, that they don't innovate fast enough, and while it might not always seem like the most cutting edge industry, there are lots of really smart people working really hard to make the grid cleaner, more reliable and customer centric. This week I'm talking to Zach Borton, the DER service manager at Platte River Power Authority, a public power utility that serves the communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Loveland in Colorado. Platte River provides wholesale electricity generation and transmission for its member communities, each of which has its own local electric utility. So a major part of Zach's job is figuring out how to build a VPP across all of those different utilities.Zach Borton: So each have their own technology suite, which makes integrations maybe a little bit more difficult. So we're all at different paths in this integration and technology suite, but getting there is going to require more collaboration and breaking down those silos.Brad Langley: I wanted to dive into the mechanics of building this kind of VPP, but first I asked Zach how the initiative came about and how Platte River planned to break down those utility silos. So let's dig into your work at Platte River. Platte River's 2024 Integrated resource plan includes 32 megawatts of VPP by 2030, which is a significant amount. Tell us about that project. How did the initiative come about?Zach Borton: Yeah, so it can all kind of go back to the 2018 resource diversification policy. In that policy, there's a few things that line out how we can get to a non-carbon future, but it really suggests better integration and coordination across the systems from the generation transmission system down to the distribution. So senior managers, utility directors, and a few different public engagement sessions really sparked this vision and guiding principles for a DER strategy. Next came kind of a gap analysis, so we tried to understand what systems we have today and what we need, and so this really showed us where we need to go with how to make this technology work. Finally, we got to that potential study, which you saw in the 2024 IRP. This showed us kind of the market size and the potential and really gives us a goal to hit. It tells us what types of programs we should run and where we should head into that 2030 mark that you said, 30 megawatts.Brad Langley: And what is your role as DER services manager on the project? What are you specifically tasked with?Zach Borton: It's really trying to coordinate and develop these programs with our owner communities. We can think about our strategy in two different approaches. It's really that best thinking available today, which you can see in the SEPA article Decoding DERMS. It's going to require two different systems, and that's the grid DERMS and the edge DERMS. But really I want to circle back to VPP isn't just a piece of software, it's a utility strategy. It's a system level approach that brings together people, technology and data to orchestrate this cleaner and more flexible grid.Brad Langley: So we've established there's two main components to this. There's the grid DERMS and there's the edge DERMS. Talk me through specifically what the grid DERMS is doing as well as what the edge DERMS is doing.Zach Borton: Absolutely, yeah. So we can think about the grid DERMS as the brain of the future utility operation. It's going to hold our network model. It's going to monitor the state of the distribution in real time, say watching for those stress points and identifying where flexibility could be made available. Some of this technology is in place today, but a lot of this needs to be developed over the next several years, whereas the edge DERMS manages the customer side. It's going to help us enroll devices into the programs, optimize them, and then deliver those optimized energy shapes, load shapes or blocks into the grid DERMS as kind of like, here's a block at this hour. Here's the shape that you can use here for this stress point, and together these two systems kind of coordinate those individual devices into actionable blocks.Brad Langley: Can you go into more detail in terms of what those components are? I assume it's a mix of hardware and software, but any specific technologies you're able to call out.Zach Borton: When we think about our owner communities, they're kind of laying the foundation for the grid DERMS for that distribution system awareness, whether that's smart metering, switching, things like that. We need to build out that process with our owner communities to bring in those data points and make that distribution grid a little bit more intelligent. We can think about the future of advanced distribution management. When we think about the edge DERMS, there's a lot of processes and people involvement: enrolling customers and engaging with those customers. Obviously there's a lot of software optimization on the backend, but that's where we lean on our partners.Brad Langley: So two distinct yet connected systems for owner communities. What kind of challenges are you either experiencing or do you foresee in making this program a reality?Zach Borton: There's quite a bit of challenges. I'd say one of our biggest challenges is aligning across the five organizations. It's sometimes hard enough to break down the department silos, but then breaking down the five organization department silos is really complicated. So everyone might agree on this goal of a functional customer friendly VPP, but getting there in sync is the hard part, which kind of brings us to the next challenge, which is a unified vision and consistency. Like I said, we have incredibly talented people working on this from all sides, but aligning on a common path with consistency is critical. We may ask, why is that so important? Well, we risk confusing the customer if we're changing things as we go or sending mixed messages. So we need to really build that trust and participation with our customers and our own communities. That brings us kind of to the third point, which is the customer patience and experience.We're building something new and with that comes unavoidable, really growing pains. So making the enrollment and engagement process as smooth as possible in that first year is going to be so important for us to scale to that 2030, 30-megawatt goal. And that's the last piece is that OEM maturity and industry coordination. Like OEMs are learning how to build and design for flexibility, but it's a learning curve and everyone's taken their unique approach. Whereas the utilities, I can call up a utility that has a similar goal to us and they'll share the lessons learned where I feel like some of the OEMs aren't sharing those lessons learned with each other.Brad Langley: It's an interesting point. We're big believers in partnerships in this space. I think partnerships are super important. Are you encouraging the OEMs to talk to each other? Because it's tricky, they might be competitive, but they're implementing similar programs, so lessons shared can be important. How do you navigate that? Are you finding openness for OEMs to be more collaborative or is it kind of a walled garden so to speak?Zach Borton: It seems like a walled garden, but I would like for all of us utilities to try to break that down and share like, Hey, we're trying to get to this non-carbon future and open up all of these opportunities for flexibility. And so I think if a lot of us will say that to the OEMs, maybe they'll start listening. So I think if we can band together and really get the OEMs to listen, we can get to this non-carbon flexibility future.Brad Langley: You mentioned you'll start enrolling customers early next year. Does that mean the project is complete? What are some of those stages or milestones that kind of happen before or after that? Maybe give us the one to two year look into the various stages of the program following customer enrollment?Zach Borton: Yeah, so I mentioned the two types of DERMS and there's kind of different working paths for each of those, but I'll kind of talk about the edge DERMS really enrolling customers there early next year. So I think we're breaking this strategy out into three different years. First year we really want to boost up the enrollment and awareness of these programs. So enrolling customers, boosting up satisfaction and increasing that program awareness. It's going to take many actions to get there, like streamlining that DER onboarding process and establishing incentive structures and engagement methods with our customer base. That's going to be critical for scaling the VPP all testing in that first year dispatches with a small number of megawatts and devices. In that next year, we're really going to be looking for analytics and post-event insight, so leveraging event data to better understand how we're forecasting and modeling DR.So we're going to lay out the infrastructure needed to capture dispatch data and analyze that across the systems, whether it's on the distribution or the generation transmission system. And then that third year is going to be building out scale. To get to that 2030 goal in the third year, we're really going to be trying to grow those legs and pick up our speed, and it's all going to be about scalability of the dispatch and optimization. I think this is where the edge DERMS becomes integrated with the grid DERMS. So as the grid DERMS is getting intelligent and connecting to all of those devices in the field, we'll build out that integration to kind of build this full VPP fully integrated using those historical insights. And really in that year, we start to see the real time grid data and the integrations.Brad Langley: How did the customers react to the VPP announcement? Are they excited about the prospect of integrating this type of technology? What was their overall sentiment towards the program when it was announced?Zach Borton: Yeah, absolutely. There's a lot of excitement around this. When we think about our customer base, they love technology. We have a lot of EVs in our service territory. We have a lot of solar. We're starting to see that solar being paired with storage. So I think there's a lot of interest in helping us get to that non-carbon goal. And it's really the foundation we've built over the past 50 years, our community ownership, our collaborative mindset, and a long-term vision. We're not just building it alone, we're building it with our members, our partners, and every customer who chooses to be part of the solution. And it's really great to see a lot of those customers show up to the stakeholder meetings and suggest really great ideas to get to this VPP.Brad Langley: How many customers are you initially targeting and what's the scale of that look like over time?Zach Borton: Yeah, so the first few years, our big focus is on seamless integration, enrollment and engagement with those customers. We're going to most likely start within three different program groups, so EVs, batteries and thermostats and expand offerings from there. We hope to have roughly one megawatt in that first year, but again, I want to focus mostly on building out the seamless enrollment process and engagement. We can't build that 30 megawatts by 2030 without the customers and the devices, so having that poor engagement or poor enrollment process isn't going to help us scale. So we really need to build out the processes we have and kind of scale up to that 30 megawatt number by 2030.Brad Langley: Well, hey, we call this show With Great Power, which is a nod to the energy industry. It's also a famous Spider-Man quote. With great power comes great responsibility. So Zach, what superpower do you bring to the energy transition?Zach Borton: That's a really great question. I would say that curiosity-driven leadership. I'm highly adaptable and I have this ability to connect with all types of people, meet them where they're at, and build that real trust through kind of empathy, curiosity. I find common ground and help bring out the best in others, whether it's a technical person, strategic customer focus, I know how to relate and inspire those folks and share a sense of purpose. The ability to connect with folks is key when bringing together a diverse team with the single vision that we have.Brad Langley: And I'd add a great sense of fashion. I know our listeners can't see it, but I love the VPP hat you're rocking. It's right on point. So nicely done with that. Well, Zach, thank you so much for coming on the show and we wish you the best of luck with the program.Zach Borton: Yeah, thank you.
