DAMIONLet's start with a softball: Tesla's Europe sales plunge 49% on brand damage, rising competition. Who Do You Blame?ElonLiberals Who Hate ElonTrump 2.0The Tesla board (I'm looking at you Robyn and Kimbal)Apathetic Tesla investorsNobody. Share price is king. MMISS backs Dynavax directors in board fight with Deep Track CapitalDeep Track Capital, which is Dynavax's second largest shareholder with a nearly 15% stake, is pushing on with a proxy fight and wants new directors to prioritize development of the company's hepatitis B vaccine instead of pursuing new acquisitions."Vote for all four management nominees," ISS wrote in a note to clients that was seen by Reuters. "The dissident has failed to present a compelling case that change is necessary at this meeting."Despit that "There has been a stall in momentum" and that "the market has in no way rebuked the company's strategy" even though Dynavax's stock price has fallen 18% over the last 12 months.Who Do you Blame?ISS, for an inability to articulate big ideas with data.Dynavax's current board knowledge profile: while pretty balance overall with science-y stuff like Medicine and Dentistry (14%); Biology (15%) along with a reasonable amount og Economics and Acounting (12%), the board notably lacks Sales and Marketing (0%).Deep Track Capital nominee probably fits that bill: an experienced drug development and commercialization professional most as interim CEO/COO at Lykos Therapeutics, including overseeing the commercialization of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine and marketing and sales at Sanofi PasteurISS, again, for ignoring the presence of 15-year director and Nominating Committee chair Daniel Kisner. Why is this guy allowed to maintain dominance over the selection of new directors?Especially consider the presence of fellow long-tenured director Francis Cano on the committee who is 80 and has served for 16 yearsCano had 29% votes against in 2018, but then only 4% in 2021 and 8% in 2024 The board's atrocious lack of annual elections. While the company celebrities the appointments of two new directors in early 2025, one of them, Emilio Emini, will not be up for shareholder review until the 2027 AGMCan I blame DeepTrack (14%), BlackRock (17%), Vanguard (7%), and State Street (6%) = 44%PepsiCo Is Pushing Back its Climate Goals. The Company Wants to Talk About ItPepsiCo said Thursday it pushed back by a decade its goal to achieve net-zero emissions from 2040 to 2050, as well as a handful of delays on plastic packaging goals, to name a few of the shiftsJim Andrew, chief sustainability officer, said PepsiCo's ability to make progress at the rate it would like to “is very very dependent on the systems around us changing.” He added the “world was a very different place” when it was working on these goals in 2020 amid a completely different political and regulatory landscape.Who Do You Blame?Pepsi's very large board of 15 directorsmost governance experts and research converge around an ideal range of 7 to 11 directors. Which really means 9?Beyond 11, boards often suffer from slower decision-making and diluted accountability.Pepsi's completely protected class of directorsAccording to MSCI data: no current director has received more than 9% votes against since the 2015 AGM. Average support is over 97%Despite hitting .400 overall (peers hit .581): .396 carbon (vs. 473) and .180 on controversies (vs. 774)The fact that the company is named Pepsico and not Pepsi which is kinda irritatingPepsi's Gender Influence Gap of -11%In fact, of the top 7 most influential directors, 6 are men with 68% aggregate influenceThe woman is Dina Dublon (11%), the former CFO at JPMorgan Chase, who has been on the board for two decades. I guess her experience as a director on the Westchester Land Trust is not enough to sway the gentlemen.The Land Trust is chaired by Wyndham Hotels director Bruce Churchill, whose experience at DirectTV must really be crucial in the protection of the natural resources of Westchester CountyWhat Makes a Great Board Director? It's Hard to Define, but It Has Rarely Been More Crucial. Who Do you Blame?The WSJ for still failing to define it appropriately despite being the effing WSJ!Proxy advisory firms, for not having the data that could better inform shareholdersThe SEC/listing exchanges for not requiring data that could better inform shareholdersEvery person in the world who does not use Free Float Analytics data2025 U.S. Proxy Season: Midseason Review Finds Sharp Drop in Shareholder Resolutions on BallotTrump 2.0Darren Woods and ExxonThe anti-ESG shareholder proponents for depressing us with their political theaterApathetic investorsMATTBall CFO to depart after less than 2 years in roleHoward Yu: The departure is not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its accounting practices, financial statements, internal controls, or operations.Because everyone leaves in less than 2 years when they're happy? Who do we blame!:Ball's Audit Committee - only 29% of company influence, but maybe they're too busy to pay attention to the CFO at all? We know audit committee roles are hugely time consuming, so Cathy Ross (ex CFO FedEx) on two audit public audit committees, John Bryant (ex CEO of Kellogg) on FOUR audit committees, Michael Cave (ex Boeing exec from 787 Max days) on just Ball audit, and Todd Penegor (current CEO of Papa Johns) on THREE boards AND an acting CEOBall's Nominating Committee - 48% of company influence, maybe they suck at their jobs?

When it comes to battery storage deployment in Europe, most of the attention has been focused on familiar markets like the UK, Germany, and southern Europe. But in the background, a quieter shift has been taking place in the Nordics - one that's now starting to accelerate.Long seen as too stable, too hydro-dominated, or simply too slow, the Nordic markets were largely overlooked by early battery investors. Yet growing volatility, falling capex, and the evolving needs of a decarbonising grid have started to change the picture.In this episode of Transmission, we explore what's driving battery investment in Sweden, Finland, and beyond. From market signals and dispatch dynamics to cross-border optimisation and grid readiness, this conversation offers a window into a part of the European market that's now waking up and scaling fast. Quentin speaks with Nicklas Bäcker, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity. Over the course of the conversation, you'll hear about:Why the Nordics were initially overlooked: How the prevalence of dispatchable hydro capacity led many investors to undervalue the incremental role of batteries in grid flexibility.Shifting storage economics: How declining capex, increased price volatility, and evolving ancillary service markets have improved the commercial viability of BESS in the region.Scaling rapidly in a new market: Insights into how more than €250 million was raised to deliver more than 200 MW of battery capacity within a compressed timeframe.Complementing hydro with fast-response assets: Why batteries offer unique value even in hydro-heavy systems. From frequency control to short-duration balancing and market arbitrage.A cross-border approach to Nordic flexibility: How project developers are expanding into Finland and other markets, and what differentiates the Nordic power system in a European context.About our guest:Nicklas Bäcker is Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity, one of the fastest-growing battery storage platforms in Northern Europe. With a background in energy markets and infrastructure strategy, Nicklas plays a key role in shaping the company's growth across Sweden, Finland, and other European markets.

Sonal Holland, India's first-ever master sommelier, had a feeling that wine would be big business on the subcontinent back when she first entered the wine scene nearly 20 years ago. "I could see that it was going to grow, and there were no qualified wine professionals in the country," she tells us. "I don't think anyone was sitting there thinking, 'Oh, let's have an MW from India,'" she admits. "But somehow there was a voice inside of me that said, 'No, this, this can be something real.'" That instinct turned out to be wildly accurate. Between 2023 and 2027, Euromonitor predicts an annual growth rate of 12% in wine consumption in India. That could translate to an industry worth $700 million by 2030. Tune into this episode to hear more about wine's rise in India, and what it could mean for the global wine market.

Interview with Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/sustainable-gold-silver-producers-showcase-new-value-creation-model-6117Recording date: 13th May 2025DRDGOLD Limited (NYSE:DRD) has established a distinctive position in the gold mining industry with its innovative approach of recovering gold from historical mine tailings rather than conventional underground mining. This South African producer combines environmental remediation with profitable gold production in a waste-neutral business model that's proving particularly effective in today's strong gold market.Under CEO Niël Pretorius's leadership, DRDGOLD is executing a major infrastructure investment program to extend the operational life of its assets through 2040. The company recently completed a 60 MW solar power facility and is implementing a 180 MW battery energy storage system, addressing previous power challenges. Additional investments include new tailings storage facilities and expanded processing capacity at both its Ergo and Far West Gold Recoveries (FWGR) operations.What stands out about DRDGOLD's growth strategy is that it remains entirely self-funded. Strong gold prices have driven record performance, allowing the company to maintain its 18-year dividend streak while simultaneously funding its capital expansion program without external financing. By FY2028, DRDGOLD targets a combined processing throughput of 3 million tonnes per month and annual gold production of approximately 200,000 ounces.The company's ESG credentials are compelling. Rather than generating new mining waste, DRDGOLD processes legacy tailings and deposits them into modern facilities with superior environmental standards. This approach enables concurrent rehabilitation of mining sites and reduces final closure costs.DRDGOLD's business model offers several advantages over traditional mining operations. With approximately 5.5 million ounces of gold resources already above ground in tailings, the company faces minimal geological risk. Its engineering-focused approach emphasizes processing efficiency and consistent output, functioning almost like a gold-processing factory.The company maintains a no-hedging policy, providing investors with full exposure to gold price increases. This strategy aligns with broader macroeconomic trends supporting gold, including geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and growing interest in hard assets.DRDGOLD also prioritizes organizational continuity and talent development, with nearly half its workforce now comprising women and a new generation of young professionals advancing through the ranks. This stable management team and strong corporate culture support the company's long-term vision of optimized resource recovery coupled with responsible environmental stewardship.View DRDGOLD's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/drdgold-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Hive Digital Technologies Chief Executive Officer Aydin Kilic joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major operational milestone as the company's global Bitcoin mining hashrate has surpassed 8.3 Exahash per second (EH/s). This achievement marks a significant step forward in HIVE's strategic plan to scale operations to 25 EH/s by Q4 2025. Kilic attributed the rapid growth to the successful commissioning of the company's first 100-megawatt hydro-powered data center in Yguazu, Paraguay, which became operational earlier this quarter. The new facility underscores HIVE's commitment to sustainable, low-cost energy sources, a key pillar in its growth strategy. HIVE is currently on track to hit its Phase 1 target of 11.5 EH/s by the end of June 2025, with additional capacity expected to come online in the coming weeks. Importantly, the company has fully funded its next wave of ASIC orders, enabling growth to 18 EH/s in Q3 2025. This was strategically accomplished through the deployment of HIVE's Bitcoin treasury, which now stands at 610 BTC. Further expansion is well underway. HIVE's second 100 MW facility in Yguazu is on schedule for completion this summer and will support the increase from 11.5 to 18 EH/s. The final push to reach 25 EH/s will be supported by the third 100 MW facility, located in Valenzuela, Paraguay, set to come online in Q4 2025. With multiple new facilities, a well-funded expansion plan, and a clear roadmap, Hive Digital is positioning itself as one of the world's leading Bitcoin miners with an emphasis on green energy and long-term scalability. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BitcoinMining #ParaguayMining #DataCenter #Exahash #S21Miners #DigitalAssets #ProactiveInvestors

Bernadette Del Chiaro has a new job. She has left her longstanding and most effective role as the Executive Director of the California Solar and Storage Association, and joined the Environmental Working Group (EWG) as a senior vice president. She makes clear that she is not leaving the fight for distributed solar and storage. The attack on net energy metering, and the downturn in the California Solar industry are alarming. Bernadette is just supporting the fight from a different position. EWG is focused on health... the food we eat, the air we breathe, the power we rely on.Bernadette makes clear the benefits of local, distributed solar and storage. It saves everyone money, not just those that have panels on their roofs. It creates local jobs. It helps the State meet our climate protection goals. And all ratepayers save money as our utilities do not have to build new power plants. They also do not need to spend billions of dollars on new transmission and distribution lines. She points out that while generating solar in the desert is very inexpensive, it's the cost of the transmission to bring it to us that jacks up power bills. This has been quite out of sight of California's ratepayers but the resulting rate increases are severe.She discusses how there are now two million California homes, businesses, schools, organizations, and public facilities of all kinds that now have solar. And as a result, she explains, the State did not need to build 16,000 MW of new generating capacity. Again, distributed resources -- paid by individual home and business owners and others -- are saving us all money. But despite this, our utilities continue to attack distributed generation.Ted and Bernadette talk about future models" Will utilities embrace networked distributed resources, or will they resist, potentially amplifying grid defection? Already utilities have imposed fees on solar system owners... disincentivizing solar and storage and the benefits that they provide. So the fight goes on. Bernadette is clear that there is stronger need than ever for advocacy of the benefits of distributed generation, warning that the force of utility profit-making is daunting, and needs a strategic and more-diligent-than-ever approach.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a un directo desde Twitter, esta vez voy a darles una clase magistral sobre como funciona nuestra red eléctrica, algo complejo y sencillo a la vez. No hay ningún medio de comunicación que hable claramente sobre esto y por ello la gente no se puede formar una opinión al respecto. Se habla de oido y por regla general los tertulianos no tienen ni idea de lo que hablan. Os explicaré a grandes rasgos mi formación: Título de FP2 en la especialidad Líneas y maquinas eléctricas, eso antiguamente eran 5 años. Luego pasé algunos meses como técnico para un autónomo que trabajaba para Balay antes de irme a la mili. La mili la realice en la base aérea de Getafe como electricista dentro de la central eléctrica donde ayude a los electricistas civiles, allí teníamos varios grupos electrógenos, de varios tamaños y potencias. Al volver de la mili entre en una empresa de verificación trafos en fábricas y permisos para poner en marcha instalaciones. Después entre en una de las empresas eléctricas mas antiguas de España, J.Gil, se trata de una empresa de las primeras que construyó nuestra red eléctrica. Decir que los antiguos trabajadores de Hidroeléctrica Española hacían horas en esa empresa y que nosotros celebrábamos la comida de nochebuena con ellos. En esa empresa viví la unificación de Hidroeléctrica Española e Iberduero dando como resultado el monstruo de Iberdrola. Esa empresa empezó a ir mal y entre a otra del sector y entre las dos estuve más de 10 años en las empresas que construyen y mantienen centrales de generación y distribución trabajando por toda España. Dentro de esas dos empresas trabajé en todo tipo de instalaciones: nucleares, térmicas de carbón, hidroeléctricas, de fuel, eólicos, de todo salvo solar. Y en todo tipo de tensiones, desde las subestaciones de distribución en 20KV a las grandes centrales de 400KV. Participe en la construcción desde cero de subestaciones y centrales, instalacion de cableado de control, montaje de bastidores de protecciones y pruebas en todo tipo de instalaciones. Estuve trabajando en el cinturón de 400KV que rodea Madrid y también en la instalación de los telemandos para manejar las centrales a distancia. Trabajando en el parque de 400 KV de Vandellos se pusieron en contacto conmigo para que echara el curriculum en REE, Red eléctrica de España. Tuve que ir a Zaragoza a realizar una entrevista para ver si estaba capacitado para ser operador del sistema con ellos. Lo pase y realice también un test de conocimientos básicos y otro psicológico que también pase…pero al final mi apellido no era el adecuado y no entre. Luego contaré una anécdota al respecto. Pude ir a trabajar a Brasil y deje esta última empresa porque me querían contratar en Iberdrola y mi jefe lo impidió. Le di quince días y me marché a una pequeña ingeniera de valencia. Alli trabaje un año como delineante diseñando telecontroles, teledisparos, equipos de protección de red y modificaciones en centrales eléctricas. Allí colaboré en el diseño de subestaciones para Brasil. Pero yo soy un técnico de campo, una rata de calle y parque al aire libre, por lo que terminé yéndome a la empresa donde sigo trabajando hoy dia. Dicha multinacional fue a su vez comprada por otra aún mayor, nada menos que GE. Así que sí, he trabajado para GE (General Electric) como técnico de campo, incluso me dieron un cuadro de reconocimiento, ja, ja, ja. En esta empresa llevo los últimos 25 años. Se trata de una empresa que produce energía y la inyecta a la red todos los días desde todas partes del mundo. Así que sí, creo estar capacitado para hablar sobre el apagón del dia 28, otro fatídico 8, a las 12:33 Decir que las explicaciones que ha dado REE a través de Eduardo Prieto como director de servicios para la operación de Red eléctrica son claramente insuficientes. Un escueto video de 50 segundos publicado en su página web donde simplemente nos dicen que la demanda había sido repuesta en un 77% a las 4 de la mañana… De momento nadie ha dado una respuesta verosímil sobre lo que de verdad a pasado. REE, la empresa privado-estatal que maneja la red eléctrica ha dicho esto en su sala de prensa. Tan solo ha explicado que a las 12 de la noche se recuperó el 60% de la demanda y a las 2 de la mañana el 77%. Esto es largo de explicar a través de unos tuits...pero digamos que es la pescadilla que se muerde la cola. Muchas instalaciones generadoras no están diseñadas para producir mientras la red está caída, lo que se denomina blackout, y necesitan que haya tensión de red para empezar a inyectar potencia a la red. Las instalaciones grandes como las nucleares y otros grupos de generación necesitan horas o incluso días para estar disponibles. Es más, las nucleares necesitan una enorme cantidad de energía eléctrica para refrigerar sus núcleos nada más desconectarse de la red. La propia distribución eléctrica consume un montón de potencia eléctrica que se disipa en forma de calor y de emisiones de radiación electromagnética en todos los cientos de miles de kilómetros del cableado eléctrico de AT (alta tensión) y en los bobinados de los trafos. Por lo tanto, la primera generación que se va recuperando debe enviarse a qué las nucleares tengan red y no utilicen sus grupos electrógenos de emergencia y en inundar las redes de distribución con tensión. De momento no he escuchado ni una explicación técnica sobre el #apagon de parte de REE o de algún medio oficial. Aquí, Eduardo Prieto, director de Servicios para la Operación de Red Eléctrica en declaraciones a los medios nos contó como iban reponiendo esta tensión para que todos tengamos electricidad en casa. Eso fue a las 20:35 y es el último comunicado publicado en la web de REE. Ya está circulando por ahí la posibilidad de que este apagón haya sido debido a la presencia de masiva de energia procedente de los paneles solares fotovoltaicos, leo: "En un sistema eléctrico dominado por paneles solares, aerogeneradores e inversores, la inercia física es prácticamente nula. Los paneles solares no producen rotación mecánica. La mayoría de los aerogeneradores modernos están desacoplados electrónicamente de la red y proporcionan poca fuerza estabilizadora. Los sistemas basados en inversores, que predominan en las redes modernas de energía renovable, son precisos pero delicados. Siguen la frecuencia de la red en lugar de resistir cambios repentinos”. El tuitero Principia Marsupia decía: “Veremos si tiene algo que ver con el apagón de hoy o no, pero hay un concepto del que se habla muy poco: la **inercia** de un sistema eléctrico. La inercia funciona como un amortiguador ante las fluctuaciones. Las centrales nucleares, las hidroeléctrica, las de gas, etc. proporcionan inercia al sistema xq tienen el mismo principio de funcionamiento: turbinas muy pesadas que giran muy rápido (a 50 vueltas por segundo = 50 hertzios). Esos bichos tan pesados girando a tanta velocidad tienen una inercia muy grande. Newton nos enseñó que cuanta más inercia tienes, más fuerza tiene que ejercer el exterior para cambiar tu velocidad de rotación. Dicho de otra manera: esos sistemas "absorben" las fluctuaciones de forma instantánea y muy eficiente. Por supuesto, todo tiene su límite y también puede haber apagones con esas centrales. ¿Y la solar y la eólica? La solar y la eólica producen electricidad sin una masa que proporcione inercia. (Los molinos eólicos no giran a 50 vueltas por segundo). Ojo: yo soy muy partidario de las renovables. Son más baratas y nos hacen depender menos de los países que exportan petróleo o gas. Pero creo que no se explica bien que cuando dependemos *sólo* de las renovables, el diseño y la gestión de la red es mucho más compleja. Y dicho esto, repito: no sé si el apagón de hoy ha sido un problema con la inercia del sistema. En todo caso, os he podido dar la chapa con un tema que me parece interesantísimo.” Es cierto que el dia del apagón el aporte de la energia fotovoltaica fue mayor de un 60% dentro del mix energético, concretamente un 60,64% con 17.657 MW. Pero hace solo unos días, el 21 de abril de 2025, la energía fotovoltaica alcanzó un récord en España, aportando el 61,5% del mix energético peninsular a las 13:35 horas, con una producción instantánea de 20.120 MW. El 19 de marzo de 2023, a las 11:37 horas, la energía solar fotovoltaica cubrió el 64,5% de la demanda eléctrica en España, marcando un récord histórico…sin que sufrieramos un apagón. ………………………………………………………………………………………. contar que es la red…tendréis que escuchar mi explicación ………………………………………………………………………………………. Decir que consultando los datos vemos que a las 12 y 20 no solo estábamos produciendo lo que consumían los españoles sino que estábamos exportando o guardando energia en forma bombeo. En concreto estábamos exportando 1 GW (a grosso modo una central nuclear) a Francia, 2,6 GW a Portugal y 3 GW se estaban destinando a bombear agua en presas para luego turbinarla, esto es, para en otro momento donde la energia sea mas cara vender de nuevo esa energia. Y casi un 1 GW más destinado a Marruecos, Andorra, etc… O sea, a las 12 y 20, 13 minutos antes del desastre nos sobraban casi 7 GW. En ese momento teníamos algunas de nuestras centrales nucleares en marcha, en torno a la mitad, por lo que estábamos produciendo unos 3 GW de forma nuclear. Por no decir que en España existe también el servicio de Interrumpibilidad por el que cobran y muy bien algunas de las empresas que mas energia eléctrica consumen. Este servicio significa que en caso de necesidad estas empresas serán desconectadas de la red por el operador y tendrán que funcionar en isla, o sea, se tendrán que generar ellas mismas su energía. Este servicio se empezó a gestionar en la Orden ITC/2370/2007, de 26 de julio, y hoy dia no está claro cuantos gigavatios hay destinados a esto. Esto funciona por subasta, el gobierno ofrece este chollo solo a las empresas afines, ya que como yo he comentado en mis artículos y podcast titulados “La red de araña” la corrupción y el oscurantismo en este sector es generalizado. Hace años que no busco datos sobre este respecto pero han habido años donde habían mas de 7 GW destinados a esto. Por ello estas empresas pagan su energia mas barata que la señora Maria que utiliza la electricidad para usar su secador de pelo y cuatro bombillas. Hoy se llama Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD) y son solo unos 2 GW, podemos leer esto: “Las subastas de interrumpibilidad, tal como se conocían tradicionalmente, han evolucionado en España. Desde 2022, se han reemplazado por un nuevo mecanismo denominado Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD), según el Real Decreto-ley 17/2022. Este servicio permite a grandes consumidores, como la industria electrointensiva, y otros agentes con al menos 1 MW de potencia reducir su consumo eléctrico en momentos críticos para el sistema eléctrico, a cambio de una retribución económica. A diferencia del antiguo sistema, la retribución se basa en la disponibilidad y, en caso de activación, en la ejecución efectiva de la reducción de consumo. En 2024, se anunció que la subasta para el SRAD de 2025 se celebraría el 14 de noviembre, con un requerimiento de 2.116 MW. Estas subastas, gestionadas por Red Eléctrica de España (REE), son telemáticas, anuales y abiertas a más participantes que las antiguas subastas de interrumpibilidad, que estaban restringidas principalmente a la gran industria. Por tanto, las subastas de interrumpibilidad como tal ya no existen, pero el SRAD cumple una función similar, adaptada a un marco regulatorio más moderno y flexible, alineado con las directrices de la Unión Europea.” Esto nos dice que en cualquier momento nos podríamos deshacer de la producción de 9 GW…ya saben que supuestamente todo ha sobrevenido porque nos faltaron de golpe 15GW en un consumo de entorno 26. Les hablare de como se calcula la energia necesaria que tenemos que producir para no tener problemas. Toda la energia que podemos producir se denomina “capacidad efectiva” y toda la energia que necesitamos en un instante se llama “demanda máxima bruta coincidente”. Lógicamente esta ultima debe ser menor que lo que podemos producir, esa diferencia se denomina “margen de reserva”. Y aqui es donde vienen las curvas. Lógicamente no todas las instalaciones están operativas: Puedes estar paradas debido a un mantenimiento programado, a un fallo, a la degradación por el paso del tiempo o al cajón de sastre que denominan “causas ajenas”. Asi que ese margen de reserva que teníamos antes se nos ha reducido hasta lo que se conoce como “margen de reserva operativo”. Por tanto tenemos una capacidad neta disponible que debe superar a la demanda máxima neta en ese “margen de reserva operativo”. Dicho margen esta compuesto por el margen de reserva de generación, la demanda interrumpible y la capacidad de interconexión (nuestra red está conectada a la de otros países y podemos exportar o importar electricidad). Nuestra interconexión principal es con Francia, pueden buscarla como Inelfe, una linea que pretende que pasemos del 3% de interconexión actual a un 10%...o sea aproximadamente 10 GWh… esto solo puede servir para enviar nuestra energía sobrante ...porque a nosotros nos sobra aproximadamente un 70% de todo lo que hay instalado en este santo país. Hice unos cálculos sobre el margen de reserva en 2014, son estos: Pues bien, si nosotros tenemos oficialmente 108 GWh (yo creo que son mas bien 120 GWh...pero "aceptamos pulpo") y consumimos en una franja entre los 22 y 36 GWh...¿Cuantos GWh nos sobran?... Pues bastante mas de esos 10 GWh que si no paran en Francia (que pararan, vaya si pararan)...y le dejo aqui los fríos datos extraídos de ese pdf que Vd. obvio y ojo es un pdf muy, pero que muy pronuke… Le remarco lo de la flechita para que vea que ES PARA EXTRAER NUESTRA ENERGIA SOBRANTE CREADA EN INSTALACIONES QUE EMPLEAN ENERGIA RENOVABLE LA QUE CIRCULARA POR LAS REDES FRANCESAS...PORQUE ELLOS DE ESO POCO... Para calcular el margen de reserva de nuestra red necesitamos conocer estos tres factores: MRG ó margen de reserva de generación. Como tenemos parados casi todos los ciclos combinados, y según Iberdrola, este margen es grande de casi 30 GWh (datos del 2010, ahora sera mayor) y ya que cobran sumas astronómicas en concepto de disponibilidad pues que estén preparados para empezar a generar, leñe. DI ó demanda interrumpible. Esto por si no lo saben nuestros oyentes se trata de un convenio entre las empresas eléctricas y los grandes consumidores via subvención del estado para que sean avisados y dada la circunstancia de un preapagon se queden fuera de la red, esto es, les sea cortado el suministro eléctrico para compensar la demanda en ese momento, a veces simplemente para gestionar las tensiones en la red. La ultima orden de interrumpibilidad se produjo en diciembre del 2009 en el sur de España. Solo se pueden sumar a estas "primas" los grandes consumidores de mas de 100MW, o sea, a estas grandes industrias la luz les sale bastante mas barata por este y otros motivos que a un pequeño consumidor. CI ó capacidad de interconexiones. Actualmente gozamos de unos 10 GWh que serán ampliados en breve gracias al proyecto INELFE pasando a los 15 GWh ampliable a los 25 GWh, que consiste en enterrar unas líneas de corriente continua entre Francia y España. Todo esto hace que nuestra capacidad bruta de 108 GWh oficiales y nuestra capacidad efectiva que es la suma de la demanda bruta coincidente y el margen de reserva sean bastante grandes y parecidos. Yo calculo a grosso modo que esta capacidad efectiva seria de: 36GWh del pico máximo actual, ya que no volveremos en mucho tiempo a los 45 GWh de nuestra burbuja mas los 30 GWh del margen de reserva de generación mas los 6 GWh de la demanda interrumpible mas los 10 GWn actuales de la capacidad de interconexión nos arroja un total de 82 GWh. Unos 82 GWh, que descontandole el aproximadamente el 25 % de fallos, degradación, causas ajenas y al mantenimiento de equipos nos arroja una potencia de margen de reserva operativo mas demanda bruta coincidente de 61,5 GWh y esa y no otra seria la potencia bruta instalada mínima que precisaríamos en estos momentos. Sin embargo nosotros que hemos tenido un pico máximo de demanda de 45 GWh en plena burbuja inmobiliaria, tenemos instalada la friolera de 108 GWh lo que nos arroja un margen de reserva del 59%. Vamos por último a comparar estos valores con dos países, el primero México: En el informe del 2012 de la comisión nacional de energia eléctrica podemos leer los datos del 2011, esto es, México tuvo una demanda media de 38,85 GWh y una capacidad bruta de generación de 54 GWh, lo que deja un margen de reserva operativo del 24 %, o lo que es lo mismo en Mexico hacen los deberes. Veamos ahora el caso de Francia: Su pico máximo de demanda en el año 2010 fue de 96 GWh y ellos tienen una capacidad bruta instalada de 123,5 GWh así que esto nos arroja un margen de reserva operativo de tan solo un 22 %, o sea peor margen de reserva que México y no digamos con nuestro abultadisimo margen del 59 %. Todos los autores están de acuerdo en que este valor de reserva se debe situar entre el 25 y el 30%... así que le dedico estos datos a un pronuclear cabezón que sigue opinando que nuestra red no puede funcionar sin la mano que nos echan los franceses...pero ya vemos que es al revés y que en breve aun necesitaran mas de nuestras energias renovables. ………………………………………………………………………….. Quería comentar que los cortes eléctricos que puedan inestabilizar el sistema no son tan poco frecuentes, yo he vivido dos. El más importante, sin lugar a dudas fue el de 1987 provocado por un fallo en un trafo de 220 KV en la subestación de Sentmenat. Durante aquellos días estaba trabajando en la ET de la Plana (Castellon), punto estratégico donde se pudo aislar la avería junto con la ET de la Mudarra en Valladolid. Para ello fue preciso el sacar las “palas” de los relés de protección de sobreintensidad (que por cierto eran GE , como casi todos) y controlar la línea “a mano”. Os dejo un fragmento del libro histórico de REE , donde se recoge aquel accidente, en la pág. 31 podemos leer esto: “…El apagón de Cataluña de 1987 El 14 de octubre de 1987 se produce un apagón en Cataluña que deja sin servicio al 91 % del mercado catalán y desacopla las conexiones con Francia. El incidente se origina a las 22:44 horas en la subestación de Sentmenat (Barcelona), al explotar un polo de un interruptor. La situación se agrava a las 23:20 horas al dispararse la línea Aragón-La Plana, lo que afecta al resto de las centrales eléctricas de la zona. En concreto se disparan los grupos de La Robla, Teruel, Ascó, Vandellós I y Garoña. La potencia de la central de Cofrentes se queda en 80 megavatios. Para superar esta situación, se acoplan grupos de fuelóleo en Sant Adriá de Besós, Foix, Cercs y Castellón. El suministro se normaliza al cien por cien a la 1:45 horas de la madrugada. «Se puede hablar de perturbación general. Es la incidencia mayor que se ha registrado en la etapa de la explotación unificada», asegura José Alburquerque, que fue jefe del CECOEL entre 1990 y 1999 y ahora está jubilado…” (OJO 4 Nucleares paradas, y bajar a 80 MW Cofrentes es una parada técnica de emergencia en toda regla, la situación se puso al rojo vivo) Sobretodo se han dado situaciones de peligro en la zona de Cataluña, aunque tras crear el doble anillo de 400 KV de la red eléctrica se ha mejorado muchísimo. Figuraos que hasta hace no tanto tiempo toda la energía eléctrica que salía y/o entraba a Segovia lo hacía por un único interruptor de 400 KV. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Your host Allen Hall, shares the renewable industry news You may have missed. Allen Hall: The first of 64 Vestas V 2 36 15 megawatt wind turbines has been installed at EnBW's He Dreiht project off the coast of Germany. This March the first time Vestas' flagship turbine has been installed at an offshore wind farm. Uh, the installation is being carried out by Cadeler's Vessel Wind Orca, which recently completed similar work at Scotland's Moray West Wind Farm. According to ENBW with a total output of 960 megawatts, HDR is Germany's largest offshore wind farm, currently under construction, and will produce enough electricity to supply an equivalent of 1.1 million households. The project is expected to start operation in late 2025. [00:01:00] GE Vernova reported significant improvements in its win segment for the first quarter of 2025. While wind orders decrease 43% organically to 640 million driven by lower onshore wind equipment in the US, revenues increase 13% to $1.85 billion driven by higher onshore wind equipment deliveries, and improved pricing. The company invested more than $100 million to improve performance in its approximately 57,000 wind turbine installed base, and terminated. Its last remaining offshore wind supply agreement. Is proceeding towards completion on both Vineyard, wind and Dogger Bank for its 2025 Outlook. GE Vernova expects wind organic revenue to be down mid single digits with segment EBITDA losses between 200 and 400 million. Siemens energy, ags win business. Siemens Gamesa continues to outperform expectations with its lost before special items [00:02:00] narrowing to 249 million euros in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. This marked an improvement fund, 446 million Euros a year ago and outperformed analysts consensus estimates of 342 million euros. Revenue grew 16.2% on a comparable basis to 2.71 billion euros, beating forecasts of 2.38 billion euros while orders declined marginally year over year to 875 million euros. They still exceeded consensus expectations. Siemens Energy is working to turn Siemens Gamesa around aiming to reach break even in fiscal year 2026.

MIT President Emeritus Dr. Rafael Reif joins host Michael Marks for a discussion about the state of U.S. competitiveness in technology, university research funding, current immigration policy, and more. Reif explains why universities remain the innovation engines of economies, educating top talent and generating the foundational research that powers emerging tech and creates new industries. He candidly assesses U.S.-China competition, warns that Chinese research output is rapidly outpacing our own, and urges renewed federal investment. The discussion explores how restrictive immigration policies threaten the flow of global talent into the U.S and his own impression of current policies as an immigrant from Venezuela himself. As a TSMC board member, Reif also touches on the strategic need for domestic semiconductor fabs, Intel's path forward, and TSMC's edge in advancing cutting-edge nodes. Lastly, he addresses gaps in the venture capital funding space and why he created MIT's The Engine incubator model to fund “tough tech” startups, which helped launch breakthroughs like Commonwealth Fusion Systems.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has for many years been evaluating emerging nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors, as part of technology innovation efforts aimed at developing the energy system of the future. TVA—the largest public power provider in the U.S., serving more than 10 million people in parts of seven states—currently operates seven reactors at three nuclear power plants: Browns Ferry, Sequoyah, and Watts Bar. Meanwhile, it's also been investing in the exploration of new nuclear technology by pursuing small modular reactors (SMRs) at the Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) site in Tennessee. “TVA does have a very diverse energy portfolio, including the third-largest nuclear fleet [in the U.S.],” Greg Boerschig, TVA's vice president for the Clinch River project, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “Our nuclear power plants provide about 40% of our electricity generated at TVA. So, this Clinch River project and our new nuclear program is building on a long history of excellence in nuclear at the Tennessee Valley.” TVA completed an extensive site selection process before choosing the CRN site as the preferred location for its first SMR. The CRN site was originally the site of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor project in the early 1980s. Extensive grading and excavation disturbed approximately 240 acres on the project site before the project was terminated. Upon termination of the project, the site was redressed and returned to an environmentally acceptable condition. The CRN property is approximately 1,200 acres of land located on the northern bank of the Clinch River arm of the Watts Bar Reservoir in Oak Ridge, Roane County, Tennessee. The CRN site has a number of significant advantages, which include two existing power lines that cross the site, easy access off of Tennessee State Route 58, and the fact that it is a brownfield site previously disturbed and characterized as a part of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor project. The Oak Ridge area is also noted to have a skilled local workforce, including many people familiar with the complexities of nuclear work. “The community acceptance here is really just phenomenal,” said Boerschig. “The community is very educated and very well informed.” TVA began exploring advanced nuclear technologies in 2010. In 2016, it submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for an Early Site Permit for one or more SMRs with a total combined generating capacity not to exceed 800 MW of electricity for the CRN site. In December 2019, TVA became the first utility in the nation to successfully obtain approval for an Early Site Permit from the NRC to potentially construct and operate SMRs at the site. While the decision to potentially build SMRs is an ongoing discussion as part of the asset strategy for TVA's future generation portfolio, significant investments have been made in the Clinch River project with the goal of moving it forward. OPG has a BWRX-300 project well underway at its Darlington New Nuclear Project site in Clarington, Ontario, with construction expected to be complete by the end of 2028. While OPG is developing its project in parallel with the design process, TVA expects to wait for more design maturity before launching its CRN project. “As far as the standard design is concerned, we're at the same pace, but overall, their project is about two years in front of ours,” said Boerschig. “And that's by design—they are the lead plant for this effort.” In the meantime, there are two primary items on TVA's to-do list. “Right now, the two biggest things that we have on our list are completing the standard design work, and then the construction permit application,” Boerschig said, noting the standard design is “somewhere north of 75% complete” and that TVA's plan is to submit the construction permit application “sometime around mid-year of this year.”

Could Australia's volatile energy markets be the next ‘Texas' for Bitcoin mining?You're listening to The Mining Pod. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 8,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.comWant to mine Bitcoin? Check out the Blockspace Media store today!Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Daniel Leslie, CTO of Coin Safe Limited, joins us to discuss Bitcoin mining in Australia. Despite Australia's massive size, its mining footprint remains tiny at around 100MW total capacity. Daniel explains how Australia's renewable-heavy grid (35-39%) creates price volatility and operational challenges similar to Texas. He shares insights on how miners could become crucial grid-balancing assets by consuming excess renewable energy and acting as "buyers of last resort." With abundant resources and a secure business environment, Australia could follow Texas's path to becoming a mining powerhouse.Notes:• Australia has ~100MW of Bitcoin mining capacity• 79% of installed renewable capacity gets curtailed• Miners operate at grid edge due to price volatility• Nuclear plants proposed for each Australian state• Energy operators now open to Bitcoin mining JVs• Grid regulates coal down when renewables produceTimestamps:00:00 Start02:30 Australian Bitcoin mining market04:47 Homegrown mining or foreign investment?06:30 Energy mix13:41 have renewables hindered mining growth?19:45 Using coal as flex generation24:41 Gov incentives for grid connection27:29 New interest in BTC mining34:16 Grid connection approval times41:10 Huddles to adoption
