Hometown Radio 09/09/25 5p: Michael Erin Woody shares the history of the Morro Bay Power Plant

Tell us what you think of the show! This summer, key stakeholders across the state of California teamed up for a first-of-its-kind, coordinated test of virtual power plant (or VPP) capabilities. Thousands of systems dispatched a whopping 535 megawatts and reduced net load during the evening peak in a successful demonstration of the potential impact that distributed energy resources can have.On this episode of the podcast, Factor This host Paul Gerke welcomes Kendrick Li, who handles demand response for Pacific Gas and Electric Company, one of the three California utilities that teamed up for the massive VPP test. Their conversation starts at the 101 level, then gets deep into the weeds on how these systems work, how they might be deployed, and the roadblocks to larger customer adoption.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

Plico Energy CTO George Martin says business is booming under the new home battery rebates, but the name of the VPP game remains the same. Plus news of the week.

Shift Key is off for Labor Day, so we're re-running this classic episode.For the first time in 15 years, American electricity demand is rising again as new data centers, factories, and electric vehicles come online. The easiest option is to meet that new demand with new supply — new power plants. But in many parts of the country, it can take years to hook up new wind, solar, and batteries to the grid. The reason why is a clogged and broken system called the interconnection queue. On this week's episode of Shift Key, which first aired in 2024, Jesse and Rob speak with two experts about how to understand — and how to fix — what is perhaps the biggest obstacle to deploying more renewables on the U.S. power grid. Tyler Norris is a doctoral student at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. He was formerly vice president of development at Cypress Creek Renewables, and he served on North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper's Carbon Policy Working Group. Claire Wayner is a senior associate at RMI's carbon-free electricity program, where she works on the clean and competitive grids team. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.Mentioned: Tyler's study on “energy only” interconnection rulesMatthew Zeitlin on Tyler's research into flexible loadsFERC Order 2023Advanced Energy United on “Unlocking America's Energy”PJM's Capacity Auction: The Real StoryRob's downshift; Jesse's upshift.--This episode of Shift Key is sponsored by …Accelerate your clean energy career with Yale's online certificate programs.

For the month of August, we’re highlighting episodes from the 2024-2025 season of Energy Policy Now. We’ll be back with new content, and a new season, on September the 9th. Virtual power plants can help electric grid operators address supply shortages and reliability concerns, but policy support is needed. --- (This episode was recorded on October 15, 2024.) The U.S. electrical grid is under growing stress, raising concern that recent widescale power outages may signal more grid challenges to come. In recent years, electricity demand has grown at an accelerating pace while, at the same time, power supply has tightened as existing power plants have retired and grid operators have struggled to bring new sources of power online. Yet one promising solution to the grid’s challenges may already be in place, if grid operators and regulators can figure out how to use it to full advantage. ‘Virtual power plants’ can combine small, distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar and demand response into a single, virtual whole that grid operators can deploy like a traditional powerplant. VPPs hold the promise of delivering large amounts of readily available and reliable energy services, if a number of regulatory and technological challenges can be overcome. On the podcast Ryan Hledik, a principal with electricity market consultancy The Brattle Group, explores the potential of virtual power plants. He explains how VPPs work, discusses hurdles to their development, and considers policy solutions to speed their growth.

The show opens with June's PPI numbers and we were below expectations, showing inflation still isn't a problem, despite the dire warnings from so many. VP Vance cast the tie breaking vote to push the first recission bill through, cutting $9B in spending, including $1B for NPR and PBS. President Trump also announced saving the largest natural gas energy plant in all of North America while he was in Pennsylvania. Then, today, he announced a huge deal with the country of Bahrain. We have to return to more Epstein conversation, but this time, I think I finally have a much better handle on the strategy of this White House. We use a piece produced by CNN's Kaitlin Collins to illustrate what I believe is happening behind the scenes. Next, we dive into an undercover piece from the O'Keefe Media Group catching a J&J scientist throwing their Covid-19 vaccine under the bus. Other scandals discussed include Sen. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) attempt to re-frame his mortgage fraud woes and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants criminal charges brought on Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Trump administration is halting all access of illegals to Federal programs, meant to save up to $40B annually. An anti-Semitic professor at Georgetown has been removed as Islamic studies department chair. Trump has convinced a dozen Republicans to support stopping any attempt to form a CBDC. We close with another trade deal win for the United States with Indonesia. And, finally, one of Trump's judge appoints gets through the Senate; it only took six months.

Just two types of machines have produced the overwhelming majority of electricity generated since 1890. This week, we look at the history of those devices, how they work — and how they have contributed to global warming.This is our second episode of Shift Key Summer School, a series of “lecture conversations” about the basics of energy, electricity, and the power grid for listeners of all backgrounds. This week, we dive into the invention and engineering of the world's most common types of fossil- and nuclear-fueled power plants. What's a Rankine cycle power station, and how does it use steam to produce electricity? How did the invention of the jet engine enable the rise of natural gas-generated electricity? And why can natural gas power plants achieve much higher efficiency gains than coal plants?Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Robinson Meyer, Heatmap's executive editor.
