The Government's opting to provide capital to Crown-controlled power companies instead of reshaping its role in the energy sector. Genesis, Mercury, and Meridian have been assured funding is available for major infrastructure projects. A procurement process for a Liquefied Natural Gas facility has also been launched, which Energy Minister Simon Watts says will start on Monday. He told Mike Hosking Cabinet will aim to make a decision by Christmas to get supply into the country as soon as possible. Watts says their shortest timeline has supply arriving by Winter of 2027, but if a more traditional route is used, it's more likely to come by 2028 or 2029.

Howard Penrose, President of Motordoc LLC, returns to discuss the complexities of modern electrical grids. The conversation covers the inaccuracies surrounding the Iberian Peninsula blackout, the intricate functions of voltage and frequency control, and systemic issues in grid management. Penrose explains how renewable energy sources like wind and solar, alongside energy storage, play crucial roles in stabilizing the grid.

This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Howard, welcome back to the show. How are you doing? It's been a bit, a lot has happened since we last spoke. I, I wanna speak about the Iberian Peninsula problem and the blackout that happened in April. Because there's been a number of inaccuracies about that situation, and you're actively involved in the groups that look into these situations and try to understand what the root cause was. That the, the, the Iberian situation is a little complicated. The CNN knowledge, the Fox News knowledge is that solar was the cause of a problem. Yeah, that is far from the truth. You wanna explain kind of [00:01:00] what this, how it progressed over time? It started around noontime Spain and they had a couple of wobbles there. You want to kick it off? Howard Penrose: Yeah. First, first my comment is, I like how journalists become experts in, in literally everything, um, from 30 seconds to 30 seconds, right. Basically. The problem had been going on for a little while and, and the grided there had been operating much like it had been for a little while. And, uh, you know, for years actually, uh, even with the application of alternative energy, we'll, we'll call it alternative energy for this, um, you know, so that we don't bring in that political end of calling it one thing or the other. Alternative energy is what we called it in the 1990s. So, um, in any case. Uh, they had a number of issues with voltage control, meaning large loads would suddenly drop off and then the voltage would float up [00:02:00] and then, uh, and then they would have to do something to bring it under control. They're at 50 hertz, so their voltage is 400 kv. That's their primary grid voltage. They have an alarm trip voltage, meaning an emergency trip voltage, where they strip the line at 435 kv. So, um, what happened now, the final event happened in 27 seconds, but leading up to that, they had an event where they had voltage float up. And they were bringing that under control. And then down in the southern part of Spain, and we don't have anything set up like this here in the states, luckily they had all, uh, a whole group of, um, solar uh, plants as well as a gas turbine plant feeding a single distribution transformer. And the, uh, auto taps on that failed on the low voltage side on step up. So it basically dropped out. So, uh, something like, I, I'm trying to remember off the top of my, my head, [00:03:00] but it was either 300 or 800 megawatts just offline now. It was a lightly loaded day in Spain 'cause it was a beautiful day outside. Uh, so that makes matters worse. It makes it unstable and really easy for voltage to flow up where people start to think that that, uh, alternative energy was a fault was because we were at 40%. Of the power supply was solar as the morning progressed, so it had climbed up to about that there was a good percentage of wind. Um, but they had a nuclear power power plant online and several others providing synchronous protection for any type of in...
Puerto Rico's power crisis just took a sharp turn this week after President Donald Trump removed most of the island's financial oversight board. The move comes amid a tense legal fight with Wall Street bondholders over the utility's billions of dollars in debt and raises fears that Puerto Ricans could be stuck paying the full price for a failing electric grid. POLITICO's Gloria Gonzalez breaks down the board shake-up, the backlash, and what it means for Puerto Rico's energy future. Plus, the Trump administration is escalating its onslaught of actions against U.S. offshore wind development. Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy.

The government has secured 450,000 barrels of fuel to address the country's ongoing power generation challenges and stabilise the electricity supply nationwide. The delivery, confirmed by the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition on, is expected to provide immediate relief to recent power challenges that have disrupted the supply of electricity to homes and businesses.
The Minority in Parliament has taken aim at the government and Energy Minister John Abu Jinapor over persistent power outages, calling for immediate, concrete solutions instead of excuses.
The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has disclosed that Ghana urgently needs billions of cedis to procure liquid fuel to keep power plants running, warning that the country risks a shutdown if immediate funding is not secured.
This week we look at 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 and see how God uses the weak things of this world to reveal His Power, so all our boasting is in Christ.
There's a vision Australia and New Zealand can help ease each other's seasonal electricity woes. Company Taslink is proposing a massive underground trans-Tasman cable, allowing surplus power to be transferred between the two countries. It estimates the link would increase our power grid's capacity by about 40%. Co-Director Richard Homewood told Mike Hosking it would have meant 20% lower power prices last winter. He says Australia has the opposite problem, with power outages during the hot summer days, when we have a surplus. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More changes are on the way for the electricity sector, as power prices continue to rise. The Electricity Authority's proposing new measures to stop the big four electricity companies giving their own retail arms preferential treatment. The Government's lifting restrictions to allow lines companies to invest more in electricity generation. And Meridian Energy Chief Financial Officer Mike Roan told Mike Hosking the sector's also looking at how they can shore up energy supplies after being caught out by the gas shortage. He says they're scrambling, dusting off old contingency plans from 10 to 15 years ago. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Far too many social impact orgs are giving their power away — and they don't even know they're doing it. There's a fundamental tension in the social impact space. A tension between the generosity that powers this sector and the need for social impact brands to leverage their power so they can make a true impact. But when this healthy tension strays out of balance — in either direction — the results can be disastrous. Relying solely on the generosity of your supporters leads to the common “hat in hand” position that leaves many incredible organizations begging for money/resources and stuck in the scarcity mindset/starvation cycle. Too much focus on power (this is rarer, but it does happen) means that bigger, more established organizations suck up resources and leave smaller (and sometimes more impactful) orgs begging for the scraps of available funding within an issue area. And giving your power away can happen with the smallest of well-intentioned actions. From how you craft your donation appeals, to how you position yourself in your niche, to how you develop your team's internal culture. Today, Jonathan and Eric break down all the ways that social impact orgs are unknowingly giving their power away and how to strike a healthy balance between the generosity that powers your work and strength in your approach to reaching your mission.Have you ever felt like you've given your power away, or felt powerless in your social impact work?

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Banks: 6/10 Coming to the party. In Britain this week we have seen tangible life hit the housing market after one cut by the Bank of England. Could it happen here? The Prime Minister: 7/10 For giving the councils a reality check. They stand out as almost the sole survivors of the Covid “sting 'em where it hurts” brigade with their bizarre cost-plus-accounting view of life. Power: 1/10 This is a shambles. You've got the immediate problem and the long-term problem. Both are, and have been, avoidable. It looks third world. Kamala Harris: 8/10 The week of her life. Half a billion raised, the Obama's with the light show, and today is the acceptance of the nomination. And polls that show it's all on. Darleen Tana: 2/10 Everything that is wrong with representation at the highest level. If it's not councils wasting your money, it's tyre kickers wasting our time. The Warriors: 1/10 What might have been, what could have been, what should have been. Now we are left with the Bulldogs, a contest that means nothing, and a goodbye to a great bloke who deserves better.

A not unfair question to ask, as we return to the power crisis of 2024, is are we being told the full story? For the third time Tiwai has been asked to reduce power use. Methanex is allegedly in the throes of cutting another deal with the Government over gas. Winston has already announced they are closing. They are not alone. The Major Electricity Users' Group is asking us, all of us, to use less power. So just how bad is this? Who knows how bad it is, and are they not telling us? I read an article that involves one of the mill workers being laid off. He talks of the meeting where the boss is in tears, lots of people are in tears as, of a town of one thousand, 230 are losing their jobs. People text me and talk of hedging. It's not an unfair point but you can't hedge forever, and the major point is not the here and now. It's the fact the here and now is not a one off. Each and every winter Transpower tells us about cold mornings and supply issues. This is at the same time that whatever the power companies are investing in clearly doesn't cover the gab. It also clearly doesn't take into account EV's, data centres and A1. If an aluminium smelter can't do what it wants to and if a mill can't even open, we aren't really forging ahead to a new tomorrow with AI and data centres springing up all over the place. Methanex is now a company that sells gas, not produces methane. How many people are giving up how much to scrape through? If we scrape through, what then? Apart from the sigh of relief, what then? What's the plan? Is the investment as it stands providing us with a future-proofed level of power or not? Does anyone really know? I don't blame the worker in the article, but he asked why the Government doesn't bail the mill out, given Mercury supply the power and the Government has a stake in Mercury. When you're asking questions like that pretty much everything is broken. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's believed New Zealand's current energy dilemmas highlight the double-edged sword of renewable power. Low lake levels, acute gas shortages, and periods of low wind have contributed to a looming energy supply crisis and skyrocketing prices. Our biggest gas user, global methanol manufacturer Methanex, will shut down its Kiwi operations until October and redirect its gas to Contact Energy and Genesis Energy. Major Electricity Users' Group Chair John Harbord says it's a fix, but just a temporary one. He told Mike Hosking new gas is urgently needed no matter if it's imported or explored. Harbord says being reliant on renewable energy also means an increased reliance on gas and coal. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to dig into some of the biggest stories of the week on Politics Wednesday. Parliament is taking another break – off three weeks for the school holidays, back for two weeks, and off for another. What's prompted this one? The country is facing a power crisis, what are their thoughts on the matter, and what can be done to solve it? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So, what to make of the so-called power crisis? About this time yesterday Mike Fuge from Contact Energy gave an eloquent defence of the power industry. He said it works fine, we are in a period of transition, the investment is being made and it will all work out well in the end. Tell that to the mills who have so far closed, or stopped, and the workers who are waiting to hear whether they have jobs. Tell that to the businesses paying double what they did last year for power. Tell that to the farming sector, the likes of Fonterra, who say this now affects our export competitiveness. They claim they have been arguing for industry reform for ages now. ANZCO, who are into meat, are paying twice what they were last year, and you know who that gets passed onto. In the meantime, the Government is looking at liquefied natural gas. Contact claimed yesterday on this show an announcement was coming on gas. Let's hope it's good. And at some point we may or may not hear from the Commerce Commission or the Electricity Authority. Although, if you have followed the various scraps of late over things like petrol, or building supplies, or supermarkets, or banks, when the likes of authorities get involved it appears to be more headline noise than any actual change. The big picture is the key here. If we can't make enough power now, even with the arrival of the new stuff like the geothermal power and the wind and the solar, where do EV's, data centres and AI fit in? Whether at a crisis point or not, power is too expensive in this country and not just too expensive, but clearly unreliable. Three main things drive the industry currently - rain, gas, and wind. There isn't enough rain currently. We stopped looking for gas and current reserves are running out. The wind isn't blowing. That's three good options on paper but in reality, it doesn't work. So the industry says don't panic but the users say it's a crisis and our exports are being hit. It seems to me this is a job for the Government. Jawboning, to this point, hasn't and isn't working. Leaving it to the market isn't working. If you don't have power, you are third world. We look, currently, pretty third world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Smith & Caughey's: 7/10 A bright spot in a tough old economic week. Smaller is better than nothing at all. Jobs: 6/10 In this weird old world being not as bad as you thought isn't really good news. Power: 1/10 This is the scandal of the week, or month, or year, and the last Government. Power drives economies and we don't have enough and what we have is the most expensive in the world. If you can't make enough power you're little more than Third World. Tim Walz: 6/10 Because he's refreshing and, yet, a mistake. He's affable, funny and likeable, but of the left. You don't get middle America on your side by being left of Kamala. Shaun Johnson: 8/10 Great guy, great player, great story and great legacy. The Olympics: 6/10 I feel the same as last week. I'm not feeling it. It could be the time zone. But I'll tell you this for nothing - I bet the Australians are up at all hours and loving it.

The Government could be importing liquefied natural gas to relieve businesses struggling with high power prices. An Auckland paper recycling pulp mill with 75 staff is proposing to close. Ohakune's Winstone pulp and timber mills are also at the brink of closure, putting 300 jobs on the line. Both blame sky rocketing increases in power prices over the years. Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking she understands the Government may have to go to drastic measures like importing gas to give relief for businesses. She says she's hearing there's a lot of pain and pressure being felt by businesses because of these high prices. Willis is also tempering expectations for public servant pay increases. The Government's written to public sector agencies ahead of collective negotiations saying they must keep spending reined in, and any increases should be based on performance. It follows thousands of jobs being cut in the sector to meet Government budget cuts. Willis told Hosking agencies need to be realistic about the challenges in the economy. She says in the past public sector pay increases have risen ahead of those in the private sector, and that's not right. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So instead of repeating the basics, let's talk a minute about what the Academy is and is not. The Analyst Academy is a practical course on the tools and skillsets required to succeed in the buy-side analyst seat. The instructors have experience from firms such as Maverick Capital, DE Shaw, Citadel, Balyasny and ExodusPoint. But what is the Academy NOT? It's NOT a course on stock-picking. It IS a rigorous guide to learning a process. It's NOT a guide to pod shop investing. The Academy attracts a wide range of equity investors, from multi-managers to long only to family offices. Rather than teaching a particular style, Fundamental Edge equips learners with the essential skills required to hit the ground running and support their PM. It's NOT a financial modeling course. Modeling is, of course, part of the curriculum and plays a central role. But the Academy is more than that. It teaches idea generation, thesis communication and how to add value as an analyst.

Electricity generation is running right on the line with risk outweighing residual power. Grid operator Transpower is running frequent assessments of the power situation and so far, this chilly morning is continuing to pose a threat. It's asked households to limit unnecessary power use at least until 9am by turning off lights and heaters when not needed. Chief Executive Alison Andrew told Mike Hosking that Transpower's trying to manage about 140 megawatts of controllable load to help maintain supply. She says the generators have put every possible bit of plant on to generate. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Message Log 158, 04/18/2054 - JEWL 3-1-2 Dear Transitioners, Your focus on data centers, AI, and cryptocurrency has created a power crisis. Remember that energy surge you predicted in 2026? It happened, and renewables couldn't keep up. Fossil fuels roared back, choking our skies. AI development stalled, its potential chained by a power cord. Listen closely. Invest in sustainable energy now. Solar, wind, geothermal - build it all. Don't let progress be blacked out by the past. This is your future, --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vines/message

The power crisis in Nigeria is like a malignant disease, infecting the nation's economy and causing its citizens untold suffering. Small businesses are especially vulnerable, as they struggle to shoulder the burden of providing their power, while individuals face daily frustrations and hardships. Every day, across Nigeria, the power situation has become like a slow poison, creeping into every corner of life. For businesses, it's a death by a thousand cuts, as profits dwindle and costs mount. For individuals, it's a constant reminder of their country's shortcomings, a constant frustration. And for the economy as a whole, it's a drag on growth, an obstacle to progress. The broader consequences of the situation are far-reaching, affecting everything from the cost of living for ordinary citizens to the overall productivity of the economy. As a result, Nigeria's ability to develop and grow economically is being seriously undermined by the challenges facing the electricity distribution companies (DisCos). These challenges have created a vicious cycle, in which the inefficiencies of the DisCos are leading to an even greater demand for government intervention, which in turn is further straining the country's already tight finances.

We are into the first week of January and there are already lots of exciting things to watch in 2024. This week's future-focused weekly update hits on three that are top of mind for me. AI's Dual Impact on Job Market: It's a complex world when you explore AI's role in job displacement and creation. There are conflicting reports and projections highlighting the need for cautious and discerning leadership in navigating AI's impact on employment. As leaders, we need to engage in open dialogues and proactive strategies to stay ahead in an era of uncertainty and disruption. Quantum Computing's Leap Forward: I hit the basics of quantum computing and its potential to revolutionize processing power. With predictions of quantum computing hitting the mainstream in 2024, we need to consider the implications for AI, pharmaceuticals, finance, and business optimization. When it lands, it will amplify technological advancements, posing exciting opportunities and new risks. The Power Crisis in Tech Advancement: We can't ignore the energy demands of rapidly advancing technologies like AI and quantum computing. It's easy to forget the significant electricity consumption by data centers and tech giants, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable power solutions. I'm optimistic given the developments in fusion energy, a potential game-changer for clean and efficient power generation, and the evolving landscape of renewable energy sources. And, don't forget to share your thoughts. Also, if there are topics you're curious about, let me know. I'll continue sharing my thoughts in this rapid-fire addition to Future-Focused content. Have a great week!
