Eric Frandsen and Jason Walker talk about the latest in local Cache Valley Sports. At the start of the hour, they go over what it means for the Pac-12's lawsuit against the Mountain West now that the motion to dismiss by the MW has been denied. Other topics for the hour include... Pac-12 administrative challenges in setting up what is essentially a new conference and how Utah State gets to be part of that. Continued challenges for the single transfer portal window for football, including comments from Utah State Interim President Alan Smith and Athletics Director Cam Walker. Updates on Major League Baseball scores and playoff series.
Jason Walker and Eric Frandsen talk the latest in local Cache Valley sports, beginning with a long interview with Utah State men's basketball head coach Jerrod Calhoun. The Aggies coach talks about the team's schedule, how difficulty it has been to find teams to play them in the Spectrum, the support of the community for the Aggies, and how his team is coming along in the late preseason. Also discussion of Northern Illinois' move to the Pac-12 in wrestling and the EvanMiya rankings for men's basketball. Where do the teams in the Mountain West (and future Pac-12 and MW teams) rank nationally and compared to each other?
Utah State football battled to a draw with No. 18 Vanderbilt through the first 27 minutes of play but was unable to keep pace as the Aggies ultimately fell to the Commodores, 55-35, on Saturday afternoon at FirstBank Stadium. Utah State posted 393 yards of total offense (274 passing, 119 rushing) and was led by graduate quarterback Bryson Barnes, who was 15-of-22 passing for 161 yards and a season-high-tying three touchdowns. Barnes was hurt on the first play of the fourth quarter and missed the remainder of the game. Utah State football (3-2, 1-0 MW) enters their first of two bye weeks this season before returning to Mountain West play at Hawaii on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 10 p.m. (MT). Hear postgame analysis, along with comments from the coach, players and fans.
In the 34th episode of the League Podcast, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the most important trends shaping the renewable energy market today. In just five minutes, we cover the biggest opportunities and risks facing developers, investors, and innovators in solar, storage, and beyond. Key Takeaways Data Centers Driving Demand – Over 9.4 GW of interconnection applications in New Jersey's PSEG market in the last 12 months, led by data centers and advanced manufacturing. Community Solar Boom – New Jersey targets 3 GW by 2029, opening opportunities for rooftop developers; Illinois, Maryland, and New York projects can now pencil without the ITC if interconnection and lease terms align. Hybrid Power Solutions – A 944 MW behind-the-meter natural gas + battery storage plant in Pennsylvania highlights the shift toward hybrid generation and reliability models. Solar + Storage vs. Gas – New Jefferies analysis shows solar + storage is now cheaper than natural gas on a levelized cost basis. Safe Harbor Updates – New rules replace the 5% test with “beginning of construction” standards for projects above 1.5 MW AC, requiring four-year continuity and physical work tests. Capacity Growth Outlook – EIA forecasts 64 GW of solar and 18 GW of storage additions in 2025, making solar nearly half of all new U.S. capacity. Why It Matters David highlights how developers can prepare for interconnection competition, leverage new community solar programs, and navigate shifting tax credit rules. I share insights on the new safe harboring provisions and what they mean for financing and project timelines. Together, we paint a picture of a rapidly scaling clean energy sector where solar is poised to supply 50–60% of U.S. electricity within two decades.

Duke Energy's Andy Browning joins Dave and Steve to unpack how a modern utility balances today's demand spikes—especially from data centers—with tomorrow's low-carbon grid. Andy traces his path from Babcock & Wilcox field engineer to Duke's GM of Engineering & Construction Services, explains why Duke runs an “all-of-the-above” strategy (gas as a bridge, batteries for flexibility, solar growth, hydro upgrades), and makes the case that nuclear—both large units and SMRs—will anchor long-term reliability. The trio dig into dam stabilization, battery use cases (peak shaving and PV smoothing), project timelines and costs, community engagement, and how policy and tariffs shape what actually gets built. They close with a look at fusion research and a rapid-fire on bourbon, woodworking, and what fuels resilience.Key TakeawaysCareer & scope: Andy oversees engineering, construction, commissioning, quality, safety, and project controls for Duke's big builds.Cultural lesson: International work taught him to respect local pace and processes—context changes what “top priority” means.Hydro safety: Post-FERC reviews are driving earthen-dam rebuilds (compaction, drainage layers) to prevent liquefaction under seismic events.Resource mix: Duke is pursuing gas, nuclear, solar, hydro, and batteries; offshore wind unlikely near-term given costs and policy headwinds.Batteries' role: Great for peak shaving and smoothing solar variability; typical systems are 2–4-hour duration (e.g., 10 MW / 40 MWh).Scale & siting: Solar needs ~6–10 acres per MW and only delivers during daylight; data centers requesting 400–1,000 MW reshape planning.Timelines & costs (rule of thumb): Batteries ~12–15 months after development; solar similar; combined-cycle gas ~4 years; nuclear 10+ years.Cost reality: A 75-MW solar site ≈ $100–150M; a 1,000-MW gas plant ≈ ~$2B; nuclear is multiples beyond—but with long lifespans.Nuclear outlook: Expect SMRs + large reactors; challenges include qualified supply chains, workforce, and public education; existing units targeting 80-year life via extensions.Data-center surge: Demand is soaring; innovative financing/ownership models (e.g., behind-the-meter, cost-sharing) may protect retail customers.
In this DCF Trends-Nomads at the Summit Podcast episode, the hosts from Data Center Frontier and Nomad Futurist sit down with Adrienne Pierce, CEO of New Sun Road, to explore the emerging frontier of sovereign and renewable energy solutions for modular data center deployment. With over 1,500 microgrids under management via the company's Stellar platform, Pierce brings a field-tested perspective on how flexible, AI-driven energy controls can empower edge and sub-10 MW data center systems—especially in regions where traditional grid infrastructure can't keep up with AI-era demands. This discussion dives into the real-world opportunities for modular, microgrid-powered data centers to unlock new markets, reduce energy costs, and create more resilient and autonomous compute infrastructure at the edge and beyond. Expect sharp insights into what it means to decouple data center growth from utility bottlenecks—and how the right energy intelligence can accelerate both sustainability and scalability.
Mañanera del Pueblo del 25 de septiembre de 2025
À partir du 1er octobre 2025, les data centers français de plus d'un mégawatt vont devoir composer avec de nouvelles règles. La loi DDADUE, adoptée le 30 avril dernier, transpose une directive européenne de septembre 2023 et impose un virage réglementaire centré sur l'efficacité énergétique et la récupération de chaleur.Concrètement, les opérateurs devront désormais valoriser la chaleur fatale dégagée par le refroidissement des serveurs. L'idée est simple : transformer cette énergie perdue en ressource utile, par exemple pour alimenter des réseaux de chauffage urbain. Autre obligation, toute création ou modification importante d'un site dépassant 1 MW devra faire l'objet d'une analyse coûts-avantages, visant à évaluer la faisabilité économique d'améliorations énergétiques dans l'approvisionnement en chaud et en froid. L'exploitant sera directement responsable de cette démarche. Et gare aux récalcitrants : en cas de manquement, l'administration pourra adresser une mise en demeure, puis prononcer des amendes pouvant atteindre 50 000 euros. Un décret d'application, encore en préparation, viendra préciser les modalités pratiques de ce dispositif.Ces nouvelles règles viennent s'ajouter à un cadre déjà dense. Les data centers ne disposent pas de catégorie spécifique dans la réglementation ICPE — les installations classées pour la protection de l'environnement —, mais les équipements associés, comme les groupes électrogènes ou les systèmes de refroidissement, déclenchent souvent des obligations environnementales. À cela s'ajoutent des contraintes liées à la localisation : une installation peut nécessiter une évaluation environnementale, voire se heurter aux règles sur le défrichement, Natura 2000 ou la protection des espèces. Pour Christophe Remy, expert HSE chez Tennaxia, le paradoxe est clair : alors que l'Union européenne semble ralentir sur certaines exigences environnementales, la France durcit le ton avec de nouvelles obligations. Mais, souligne-t-il, « c'est bien sur le terrain que la protection de l'environnement se joue, et les obligations HSE sont un excellent moyen pour progresser ». Les data centers, infrastructures vitales à l'économie numérique, se retrouvent donc face à un défi inédit : allier performance et sobriété énergétique, dans un contexte où la consommation électrique de ces géants du cloud ne cesse de croître.

Pengembangan geothermal di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia tidak lepas dari investasi asing, yang menjadi katalisator utama di tengah keterbatasan modal domestik. Namun, pola kepemilikan yang timpang menimbulkan kekhawatiran neokolonialisme energi. Ormat Technologies Inc., perusahaan asal AS-Israel, menjadi contoh mencolok. Meskipun data terkini menunjukkan Ormat memegang 49% saham di PT Medco Cahaya Geothermal (MCG) untuk PLTP Ijen (35 MW, COD Februari 2025), klaim 75% penguasaan merujuk pada proyek lain seperti PT Ormat Geothermal Indonesia, di mana Ormat mendominasi 75% ekuitas untuk pengembangan di Toka Tindung, Sulawesi Utara, dan Wapsalit, Maluku.
A Clean Wisconsin analysis shows just two approved data centers in Wisconsin will use more power than all the homes in our state combined. More than the generation capacity of the Point Beach nuclear plant, the single-largest source of power in Wisconsin. And that leaves a lot of people are wondering, where is all this leading us? What will it mean for Wisconsin's precious water resources, our land, our energy bills? And why is it so hard to find out? In this episode, an in-depth conversation on the secrets of data centers. Host: Amy Barrilleaux Guest: Michael Greif, Midwest Environmental Advocates Resources for You: AI data centers in Wisconsin will use more energy than all homes in state combined Large Wisconsin data center tax breaks make benefits unclear MEA Takes Legal Action to Compel City of Racine to Disclose Data Center's Projected Water Use PSC approves plan to power AI data center with gas plants, bringing 1,200 MW of new, dirty power to southeast Wisconsin

GM EXTENDS EV LEASE INCENTIVES THROUGH YEAR-END GM will extend EV lease incentives for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac through December 31, protecting deals signed before September 30 despite the federal tax credit expiry. The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes. PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONS Porsche's Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option. 35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVS Renault UK's survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government's Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault's EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495. EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITY Escalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram's pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs. TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTION Tesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber's network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla's Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”. TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITS Tesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla's self-driving technology, which is central to the company's trillion-dollar valuation narrative. MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARK Munich Airport opened Bavaria's largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power. The €5.2 million project gives passengers 138 accessible EV chargers and supports broader adoption in Germany. EV REALTY BUILDS TRUCK CHARGING HUBS EV Realty is addressing grid limitations for electric trucks by building multi-fleet fast-charging hubs in California, using proprietary software to optimize site selection near industrial centers. The company raised $75 million for expansion, modelling its facilities after data centers and targeting hundreds of megawatts of unused grid capacity. SPAIN 2025 GRID AND EV CHARGING Spain's surging EV adoption in 2025 is stressing the nation's power grid, with current charging sites capable of 1–3 MW but future upgrades needed for heavy-duty vehicles and rural coverage. Experts warn grid upgrades must precede mass charge point rollouts to avoid bottlenecks as demand grows. ICELAND NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS RISE, EVS LEAD Iceland's new car registrations jumped 28% year-on-year, mostly driven by rental companies, with 80% of sales classified as “new energy” vehicles. Fully electric cars accounted for a third of registrations, hybrids 24%, plug-in hybrids 21%, and petrol/diesel just 20%. U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWS U.S. EV charging infrastructure growth slowed to 19% in the past year, even as demand rises, and total charging output increased 52%. A survey found 53% of U.S. respondents cited lacking charging access as the biggest barrier to EV adoption. UK PLANS £500M SOUTHAMPTON EV TERMINAL ABP plans a £500 million electric vehicle terminal at Southampton to handle surging imports of Chinese EVs, projecting over 100,000 vehicles in 2026—20% of UK car trade through the port. Expansion plans include multi-storey storage, new berths, and capacity to meet demand, as the UK takes a more open approach than the EU or US on Asian EV imports.
Pourquoi les éoliennes produisent-elles plus d'électricité quand il fait froid ? La réponse tient à la fois à la physique de l'air et au fonctionnement même des turbines.La densité de l'air : un facteur cléL'électricité produite par une éolienne dépend principalement de la vitesse du vent et de la densité de l'air. La formule de base est la suivante :Puissance = ½ × ρ × S × v³ × Cpoù ρ est la densité de l'air, S la surface balayée par les pales, v la vitesse du vent et Cp le rendement aérodynamique.Or, la densité de l'air varie avec la température. À 0 °C, l'air est environ 10 % plus dense qu'à 30 °C. Concrètement, 1 m³ d'air pèse environ 1,29 kg à 0 °C contre 1,16 kg à 30 °C. Cette différence, qui peut sembler faible, a un effet direct sur la puissance récupérée : plus l'air est lourd, plus il contient d'énergie cinétique pour une même vitesse de vent.Exemple chiffréPrenons une éolienne terrestre de 2 MW, avec un vent de 12 m/s. À 30 °C, elle produira environ 1,7 MW. À 0 °C, dans les mêmes conditions de vent, elle peut monter à 1,9 MW. Le gain est donc de plus de 10 % simplement dû au froid.Les régimes de vent en hiverÀ cela s'ajoute un autre facteur : en hiver, dans beaucoup de régions tempérées, les vents sont plus soutenus et plus réguliers. En Europe par exemple, les parcs éoliens atteignent souvent des facteurs de charge (le rapport entre production réelle et production théorique maximale) de 35 à 40 % en hiver, contre seulement 20 à 25 % en été. Cela signifie que non seulement chaque tour de pale produit davantage d'énergie, mais qu'en plus, les éoliennes tournent plus longtemps à des vitesses optimales.Attention aux extrêmesIl existe toutefois une limite. Les éoliennes sont conçues pour fonctionner entre environ -20 °C et +40 °C. En dessous, la glace peut se former sur les pales, modifiant leur aérodynamique et diminuant la production. C'est pourquoi certaines machines sont équipées de systèmes de dégivrage.En résuméLes éoliennes produisent plus d'électricité par temps froid, d'abord parce que l'air est plus dense et contient donc plus d'énergie, ensuite parce que les régimes de vent hivernaux sont plus favorables. C'est ce double effet qui explique que, dans des pays comme la France, l'Allemagne ou le Danemark, les records de production éolienne se situent presque toujours en hiver. Hébergé par Acast.

Å bruke opp mot 35 milliardar statlege kroner på ein flytande havvindpark er eit enormt beløp. Men er det likevel verdt det? Denne veka har to konsortium meldt seg på konkurransen om å få bygge ut 500 MW med flytande havvind i Utsira Nord. Det markerer eit viktig steg vidare for flytande havvind i norske farvatn – sjølv om ei mogleg investeringsavgjerd ligg fleire år fram i tid.– Det er eit stort potensial viss ein lukkast her. Først og fremst for kraftproduksjon globalt – som eg tenkjer er det viktigaste perspektivet. Viss teknologien lukkast, kan ein byggje ut mykje fornybar kraft verda over. Det trur eg er den viktigaste grunnen til at Noreg bør bidra, seier Kirsten Ånestad Øystese, prosjektleiar i Norsk klimastiftelse.Klimax-panelet diskuterer òg vurderinga av Noregs nye klimamål frå analytikarane i Climate Action Tracker, og nyheita om at eit knapt fleirtal i kommunestyret i Sauda har sagt ja til bygging av ein ammoniakkfabrikk – eit prosjekt som skapar stor debatt.Med i denne podkasten er: Anne Jortveit, nestleiar i Norsk klimastiftelse Kirsten Å.

Ep 551 - Tilting at Windmills Guest: Dan Woynillowicz By Stuart McNish “Tilting at windmills” is an idiom which means “attacking imaginary enemies.” Windmills are, however, real and they have real detractors and attackers – detractors who portray wind turbines as being an environmental blight that produces little power. There was a modicum of truth to the knock on windmills in the 1980s when thousands of them appeared in the San Gorgonio Pass in California. By 1987, there were more than 4,200 wind turbines in the Pass leading into Palm Springs that generated between 50 to 100 kilowatts of power. Today, the total number of wind turbines in the San Gorgonio Pass is 666, generating 628 MW or enough to power close to 800,000 homes. Advances in design, construction, power generation and operation have seen the overall growth of wind generated power improve. The nine new wind farms in British Columbia will be home to 292 next-generation windmills that will produce enough energy to power approximately 500,000 homes, a substantial increase in power generation over California's wind turbines. We invited Dan Woynillowicz of Polaris Strategy to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the truth behind wind turbines and the increasing role they are playing in renewable energy in British Columbia and elsewhere.

Prior to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Moldova was ranked by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as among the least self sufficient countries in the world in terms of energy. The country imported nearly all of its natural gas from Russia, and gas provided to the Transnistrian region by Russia free of charge was used to generate about 75% of the country's electricity. With the onset of the war, and Russia's choice to spark multiple energy crises in Moldova as a tool of coercion, the country has had to make rapid changes. Moldova's Renewable Energy Revolution In April 2025, an all-time record of 36% of the country's total electricity consumption was provided by locally produced renewable energy. Right now, Moldova has more than 750 MW of installed renewables capacity - more than an 8x increase from 4 years ago. Of this, 529 MW is from photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, 212 MW is from wind energy and the rest is from biogas and hydroelectric. By far the fastest growing source of power generation in Moldova is PV panels. The Complex Public-Private Mix Driving Investment Since Moldova fully broke away from Russian supplied energy, consumer electricity prices have skyrocketed. This has led to a major push from the government to diversify energy sources and modernize the country's energy market. In a situation where the country's only major traditional power generation capability is two small scale Soviet-era thermoelectric plants, this has led to a major pivot towards renewables. Carolina Novac, State Secretary of the newly created Ministry of Energy, explained that the government now has 3 priorities in the energy market - security, affordability and competition. Taken together these priorities mean Moldovan made energy, especially renewables. The Ministry recently approved the results of a series of tenders for the construction of new renewable energy installations, namely 105 MW of wind and 60 MW of solar. According to Irina Apostol, Energy Manager at NGO Green City Lab in Chisinau, investments like these are attractive because the suppliers can benefit from 15 year fixed-rate supply contracts. But there are also options for smaller investors to get involved in Moldova's energy transition. For "small producers" building photovoltaic plants up to 1 MW there is another program allowing for regulated fixed-rates for power production also on 15-year contracts. This program has limits though, equipment can't be older than 36 months and there is a cap on the total capacity that can be licensed under this plan. The country's existing power grid and regulatory framework mean that there are lots of new opportunities, but also lots of upgrades and reforms needed to build a modern, green energy system. Energy Aggregators and Small Investors Navitas Energy, a subsidiary of Moldova's largest power company Premier Energy, is a major player in Moldova's renewable energy market. The company operates on the unregulated market, buying and selling energy according to market prices without long term guaranteed contracts. They have constructed 5 photovoltaic parks of their own with a capacity of 18 MW, but also work with other small producers as an aggregator. Caption: A new photovoltaic park built by Navitas in Budesti near Vadul lui Voda. PV parks have become a regular appearance in the Moldovan countryside set amidst vineyards and rolling fields. "Navitas Energy SRL, acting as an aggregator together with the producers that own 121 renewable energy power generation plants, accumulates a total installed capacity of 180 MW." writes Navitas CEO Mihail Gidei The small investors behind those 121 solar and wind power plants sell energy to Navitas which bundles this power and sells it forward - both to Moldovan customers and on the Romanian and Ukrainian markets. This allows small producers who might not be eligible for fixed contract government programs to invest and sell their energy to consumers. The average producer in Navitas' network is rela...

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) regroup to riff on miner-to-AI megadeals, gas-to-power plays, and a modular ASIC that could reset fleet economics.AI x Power x BitcoinThis week we break down:TeraWulf × Google – a 10-year, 200 MW hosting deal (headline $3.7B; options could push multiyear value far higher) and why clean, reliable electrons (nuke/hydro) earn a premium—and might end in outright M&A.Who's Next? – the consolidation map: why Bitfarms (and possibly IREN/Iris) look “target-ready,” what MARA/RIOT are more likely to do, and how miner stock spikes telegraph hyperscaler interest.CoreWeave–Core Scientific Playbook – how long-dated revenue agreements morph into acquisitions when the real prize is energized, rack-ready capacity.Coterra's Power Option – a 7-year gas sale to CPV's 1.3 GW CCGT in Ward County with the right to buy ~250 MW/day indexed to ERCOT West—the first true Permian netback template and what it signals for E&Ps.Turbines, Permits & Sudoku – deposits and long lead times, GPA/air permits (NOx/CO₂), and the catch-22 between offtakes and hardware—why scale + compliance + capital win.Block's Proto Miner – Apple-clean design, rack-side sub-90-second repairs (as pitched), modular hashboards, open-source fleet software, and a 10-year design life—what that does to uptime and capex cycles.The AI Arms Race – trillion-dollar capex, billion-dollar talent bids, China's generation build-out, and why power-secure brownfield beats greenfield timelines.Where to Find Us IRL – Permian Power Conference (Midland, Sep 29–30) + Texas Capitol investor day/North American Blockchain Summit (Dallas, October).
Principle Power announces that floating offshore wind projects using the WindFloat technology have generated more than 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of cumulative energy since WindFloat 1 was connected to the grid in 2011. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of the WindFloat designs, and the readiness of the company's 4th generation designs for commercial scale projects. The 1 TWh output includes generation from: WindFloat 1: 2 MW pilot in Portugal (2011-2016) and Scotland (2018-2020). WindFloat Atlantic: 25 MW project in operation since 2020 off the coast of Portugal. Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm: a 48 MW project in operation since 2021 off the coast of Scotland. Together, these assets have demonstrated robustness in severe Atlantic and North Sea conditions, withstanding waves of up to 20 meters and winds of up to 214 Km/h (equivalent to a Category 4 typhoon), while delivering exceptional performance. Floating offshore wind projects delivering more energy The WindFloat platforms enable maximum wind turbine generation through a combination of empirically validated features: Semisubmersible architecture, providing a stable platform that enables the system to comply with all wind turbine operational and extreme limits. A platform hull trim system that uses water ballast to counteract wind turbine-induced thrust forces, keeps the wind turbine oriented vertically (within 0-2 degrees >97% of the time), increasing energy generated by up to 2.5% versus passive platforms. A robust and redundant system architecture that is delivering an average platform availability of ~99% across the operating fleet. Julian Arrillaga Costa, Chief Executive Officer said: "Reaching the 1 TWh milestone is a clear validation of our WindFloat technology and the expert team we've built to support the design, delivery, and operation of floating wind projects worldwide. These projects have exposed us to the full range of complexity in the sector, providing valuable lessons that we are using to continuously refine and improve our technical and commercial offering. This depth of experience provides a strong foundation for delivering derisked, cost-effective commercial projects, supporting our vision of a planet powered by floating wind." Building on the experience of WindFloat Atlantic, Kincardine, and the under construction 30 MW Les Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) project that will be connected to the grid later this year, Principle Power is working closely with clients, suppliers, and operators to plan the delivery of the first generation of commercial scale floating wind projects in key markets, including France, South Korea, and the UK. These projects expect to feature 12-70 wind turbines of 15-20 MW each, nearly double the rated capacity of the wind turbines installed at WindFloat Atlantic and Kincardine. The operational data and insights from the first TWh of generation provide a strong basis of confidence for customers and their financial stakeholders, demonstrating that Principle Power and its WindFloat technologies have the proven track-record to scale floating wind projects and support the global expansion of the industry. Overview of Principle Power's operating track record: 12 WindFloat units installed or under installation or decommissioned. 13?years of field operational experience and 17 project-years of cumulative operations: WindFloat 1: 2011-2016 in Portugal plus 2018-2020 in Scotland. WindFloat Atlantic: 2020-present in Portugal. Kincardine: 2021-present in Scotland. 300,000 hours of cumulative operational experience. 1 TWh global WindFloat energy generated. ~99% platform availability. 0 (zero) lost time incidents. 20 m maximum wave height encountered. 214 Km/h (59.6 m/s) maximum wind speed encountered (equivalent to category 4 typhoon). Completed tow-to-shore floating wind turbine large corrective operations at Kincardine, proving the technical feasibility of the approach and yielding lessons to optimize planning for future tow...

Trump messaged the people that everything is being put into place to win the midterms. Stage has now been set. Economy Governor Murphy's Green New Deal Exacerbates NJ Energy Crisis New Jerseyans are feeling the pain of higher electricity bills. They should blame Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for inviting this energy crisis. The BPU was slated to approve a 20% rate hike in June, but delayed the rate hike until September 30. On August 14, the BPU announced a $100 Residential Universal Bill Credit to help lower bills in September and October. This is a way to use taxes to disguise the cost of utility bills, but New Jerseyans are still shouldering these costs. When announcing this relief measure, Governor Murphy didn't accept responsibility for higher prices. Instead, he blamed PJM Interconnection, a grid operator servicing New Jersey and 12 other states, for creating a “cost crisis.” Earlier this summer, he urged residents to set their air conditioners to 76-78 degrees Fahrenheit and delay appliance usage until 8 p.m. But Garden Staters aren't buying what Murphy is selling. Since Governor Murphy entered office in 2017, six power plants—including five coal plants and Oyster Creek nuclear reactor—were shut down. This represents a loss of 2,500 megawatts (MW) of net capacity. As a result, the state consumes more energy than it produces. It imported 20% of its electricity from out-of-state power generators—namely, Pennsylvania. Imported electricity is more expensive due to higher fuel and transmission costs. One analysis found NJ's green “transition” “has outpaced its replacement infrastructure, raising concerns about grid stability, cost volatility, and energy independence.” Yet, there is no transition occurring. Natural gas and nuclear have cumulatively supplied over 90% of the state's net electricity generation since 2011. Renewables, including solar, barely supply 8%. But don't take my word for it. States with clean energy mandates—including renewable standard portfolios (RPS) that mandate electric utilities set renewable energy targets—generally have higher electricity costs compared to states without them. As of this writing, New Jersey electricity rates are the 12th most expensive in the nation, averaging 20.49¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh). That's 17.3% higher than the national average (17.47¢ per kWh). For context, the average American household uses about 10,800 kWh annually.

It's by Emelia Fredlick and Leslie P. Norton and seen on morningstar.com. (Note: follow the article link on this podcast episode's webpage to all 83 companies that Morningstar considers the best 2025 sustainable companies.) The article also highlights the three companies below. Here are some brief quotes from the authors. “Morningstar's research finds that the biggest ESG risk is in energy and utilities, with the smallest in technology and real estate. Morningstar Sustainalytics measures this with the Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating… We didn't include valuations for these (83) companies. Rather, we focused on the criteria that set a company up for success in the long term. So, while not all these names can be considered a buy today, this can serve as a great watchlist… Data Source: Morningstar Direct as of Jun. 30, 2025. 1) RELX RELX UK-based RELX is a global provider of business information, analytics, and decision-making tools for professionals across industries. The firm generates revenue mainly by creating and selling access to curated information databases, analytics, and journals. Morningstar senior analyst Rob Hales assigns RELX a wide Morningstar Economic Moat Rating… Sustainalytics gives RELX an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong. 2) Danaher DHR Danaher focuses primarily on manufacturing scientific instruments and consumables in the life science and diagnostic industries. The firm aims to accelerate core growth at acquired companies, including Cytiva (formerly GE Biopharma), by making research and development and marketing-related investments… Sustainalytics gives Danaher an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong.

We think it has the strongest and broadest communications testing capabilities in the market across hardware, software, and services. Its wide moat rating, according to Morningstar senior analyst William Kerwin, owes to ‘intangible assets in the design of test and measurement equipment and software and switching costs for its portfolio of solutions.' Because of Keysight's strong ESG reporting and oversight of ESG issues, Sustainalytics gives the company an ESG Risk Management Rating of Strong.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Wind Energy Stocks That Will Drive Long-Term Portfolio Growth The last article I'm covering is by Avisekh Bhattacharjee, for Zacks, and found on nasdaq.com.

Clean Power Alliance is in its eighth year serving cities and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, providing power to over one million electric meters in 35 cities and county areas with a generating capacity of 3,400 MW. This episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic features Ted Bardacke who has been its CEO throughout this tenure... creating the nation's largest community choice aggregator. CPA is also the nation's largest clean energy provider, and has been for the past two years. Its annual sales of 10 - 11 TWh, make it the fourth largest power provider in the State of California. Recently, it eclipsed San Diego Gas and Electric in power sales.Ted explains that CPA provides three tiers of rates, important choices for its members: About 10%of its members have selected its Lean Power rates, pricing that is about 2% less than the rates offered by Southern California Edison (SCE). Another 25% have selected the Clean Power rates that are equal in price but a better environmental product. Two-thirds of its members are on the 100% Green Power rate, paying about 6% more than they would if they were still buying power from SCE. These choices have been key to CPA's remarkably low opt-out rate (and its 93% participation rate)... meaning that members are pleased with the CPA products and have for largely have not returned to SCE.CPA is now mature and offering a suite of programs that enhance its services. Ted explains that there are two types of programs: CPA offers programs for its member agencies that feature resilience for critical facilities as well as up to $250,000 grants for building electrification. CPA also offers a suite of customer programs... things like incentives for advanced battery energy storage and EV charger incentives. By working closely with its board of directors, Ted explains that CPA's services are locally rooted, and that CPA has a fine-grained understanding of its customers' needs.The conversation then shifts to the current presidential administration's decrees... retarding wind and solar. Fortunately CPA "resourced" its portfolio of green power early and at relatively low cost, putting the CCA in a strong financial position. But Ted explains that there is no question that the administration is changing the market for renewables... with less tax credits, policies making it harder to permit renewables, and the effects of tariffs on supply lines. Without question, these changes are impacting the "ecosystem" supporting renewables... making it harder for customers to "do the right thing" to control costs and drive down emissions. Ted notes that "California will do a good job of holding this ecosystem together" though "there will be some backsliding.'When asked about next steps for CPA, Ted flags directions including refining and expanding programs, exploring asset ownership, and working with customers to make them co-managers of electrification. Just as Californians have and will respond to water shortages, Ted wants CPA to lead a cultural shift such that electricity consumers are active participants.... driving down costs and emissions for all.

The PJM capacity auction this month broke records with sky-high wholesale power prices — and that was by design. Under PJM's auction rules, tight supply raises prices, incentivizing the development of new generation and encouraging existing generation to stay online. The big driver of that tight supply? Data-center driven load growth. The independent system operator covers Virginia, one of the densest and fastest-growing regions for data center development. So will higher wholesale prices incentivize enough generation to meet load growth without provoking the public with higher bills? In this episode, Shayle talks to Steve Piper, research director of North American power and renewables at S&P Global. Steve and Shayle cover topics like: Why Steve says PJM and other stakeholders became concerned that low prices weren't incentivizing enough generation to stay on the market Why ISOs upping resource adequacy requirements across technologies, while raising targets for reserve margins The bottlenecks slowing down the development of new generation What's holding back demand response in the auction Resources: Latitude Media: Will Pennsylvania be the nation's AI-energy model?

We are excited to share this “on-the-road” COBT episode featuring Tim Latimer, CEO and Co-Founder of Fervo Energy. Our team traveled to Milford, Utah, to tour Fervo's Cape Station project before connecting with Tim for an in-depth conversation. Tim earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tulsa and started his career as a drilling engineer in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. He co-founded Fervo in 2017 after earning an MBA and an MS in Environment and Resources from Stanford University. Fervo is a developer, owner, and operator of geothermal assets. The company recently raised $206 million to advance the buildout of Project Cape, with phase one expected to deliver 100 MW of power to the grid in 2026. It was our pleasure to visit with Tim about the evolving geothermal landscape. As you'll hear, we were also joined by Kareem El-Sadi, Fervo's Drilling Engineering Manager, who brought valuable insights from the field. Huge thanks to all our new friends at Fervo for their hospitality and patience. We really had a blast. In our conversation, Tim shares the story of Fervo's founding, explains the fundamentals of geothermal, and details what makes Fervo's approach unique using deeper wells, horizontal laterals, and well stimulation. We explore the parallels between geothermal's recent progress and the shale revolution, as well as Cape Station's well specs, project economics and future cost reduction opportunities. We discuss how Fervo has dramatically improved dripping efficiency, cutting well costs from $13 million to ~$4 million by reducing the number of drill bits needed and decreasing total drilling days, the energy world's shift from largely skeptical to increasingly bipartisan and broader support, policy tailwinds, and Fervo's efforts to onshore supply chains amid steel and other tariffs. We cover geothermal versus oil and gas flow rates, design strategies for achieving high flow rates, water use efficiency, long-term production outlook, and overall “life of power plant” issues. We examine expansion plans for Cape Station, the leasing and mineral rights framework in geothermal, power plant design considerations including supply chain dynamics, permitting challenges and NEPA reviews, and project risk and learning curves from location to location. Tim shares his perspective on opportunities for geographic expansion beyond the Western U.S., cost curve and resource economics, commercial strategy and PPAs, near-term priorities for Fervo, geothermal's underrepresentation in no-emissions power conversations, the competitive landscape, whether being a pioneer is an advantage or disadvantage, and much much more. It was a fantastic discussion. Tim references a few items in today's conversation. MIT's paper entitled “The Future of Geothermal Energy” published in 2006 is linked here. Additionally, the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that bond and equity markets are focused on Wednesday's FOMC Rate Decision Meeting. Consensus expects the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged; however, if the Fed were to surprise with a rate cut, broader markets would initially surge before worry set in as to why! Turning to U.S. equities, while markets continue to post new highs, sentiment appears to have shifted toward a “sell the trade deal” mindset. This will be an important week for the Technology sector, broader equity markets, and electricity equities given that Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft are all reporting results and investors are going to be listening closely to their projected AI spending levels.
