The Trump administration's proposed rule effectively frees power plants from climate regulation of any kind and will almost certainly invite legal challenges. POLITICO's Alex Guillén breaks down how EPA is justifying this rule, the pushback from critics, and how an eventual legal fight could help determine whether the federal government can regulate climate pollution from any sector. Plus, President Donald Trump on Thursday moved to eliminate California's nation-leading vehicle emissions standards. Alex Guillén is an energy reporter for POLITICO.

In Episode 503 of District of Conservation, Gabriella discusses to important updates relating to the EPA: the official repeal of the Biden-era CA EV mandate and rule change to Clean Power Plan 2.0. Context on these developments: First, the Biden administration granted a Clean Air Act exemption to California to adopt CARB's Advanced Clean Cars II package mandating all new car sales by 2035 be electric. Second, the Biden administration would have forced the premature shut down of existing coal and new natural gas plants unless they were retrofitted with carbon capture technology that isn't viable yet.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday it would repeal a historic regulation that places federal limits on climate pollution from power plants, effectively killing the Biden administration's most ambitious regulatory effort aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. POLITICO's Alex Guillén breaks down the repeal and how it will impact efforts to fight climate change. Plus, EPA also announced it was repealing a separate regulation to curb mercury pollution, and the Transportation Department is expected to release a draft of its overhauled guidance for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program later this month.

Why exactly is the middle of the U.S. running out of power? In this episode of Power Plays, Spearmint Energy's Andrew Waranch and Gina Wolf examine building new supply with MISO and SPP. In these two regions, new generation project queues are lengthy and community opposition is high. We look at what it will take to build back a safe reserve of supply for consumers. 

In this episode, James Maude chats with industrial cybersecurity expert Lesley Carhart (aka "Hacks for Pancakes"), whose journey from programming on her family farm to protecting critical infrastructure was shaped by curiosity and determination. Lesley reveals how moths accidentally activating a power plant touchscreen led to a late-night "Chinese hackers" investigation, explains why she carries a "marriage counseling" sign when mediating between feuding IT and OT teams, and delivers a passionate wake-up call about the industry's mentorship crisis and the brutal reality facing cybersecurity newcomers today.

“Virtual power plant” might be trending—but Eversource's Tilak Subrahmanian says it misses the mark.In this RE+ Northeast PowerUp Live stage interview, Nico sits down with Tilak for a refreshingly candid utility perspective on how distributed energy resources (DERs) are being integrated, managed, and monetized at scale. Spoiler: it's not just about demand response anymore.From managing EV charging loads to influencing ISO capacity calculations, Tilak breaks down how Eversource is designing a distributed grid built for policy, performance, and people. If you've ever wondered how utilities actually think about DERs, this is the episode for you.What you'll learn:

Picture an all-electric home with smart appliances that talk to each other via WiFi to figure out when to pull power from the grid.

The operations of the Salmisaari coal power plant have ended as of 1 April 2025. Abolishing the use of coal is a significant milestone for Helsinki on its journey towards carbon neutrality. The closure of the power plant will reduce Helsinki's carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent compared to the previous year, and it practically also marks the end of coal burning in Finland as a whole. Helsinki closes last coal fuel station Helsinki's climate goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, twenty years ahead of the EU's target. Abolishing fossil fuels in energy production plays a significant role in achieving this goal. The first really major step into the green transition was taken two years ago, when the municipal energy utility Helen Ltd, a subsidiary of the City of Helsinki, shut down the Hanasaari B power plant. Now, Helsinki's last remaining coal power plant, Salmisaari, is being relegated to the history books. "The closing of the coal-fired energy plants is an important and historical change for Helsinki, Finland and, ultimately, the whole planet. Cities the world over have assumed a leading role in the fight against climate change. Helsinki wants to be a bold forerunner, on both a national and global level. The fact that we have been able to resolutely move forward with our plans to shut down coal-fired power plants in our city is a strong indicator of our determinedness in this area," says Juhana Vartiainen, Mayor of Helsinki. The closing of the Salmisaari coal power plant will reduce the City of Helsinki's emissions by 30 percent. The abolishment of coal has happened quickly in Helsinki, as in 2022, coal still accounted for 64 percent of Helen's district heat production. Helsinki has now closed both the Hanasaari and Salmisaari coal power plants within two years, which will reduce the city's CO2 emissions by an impressive 43 percent. At the national level, the closing of the power plants in Helsinki will reduce the total carbon dioxide emissions of Finland by 5 percent. Heat production to be divided among several sources Energy production is no longer be based on fossil fuels in Helsinki. Helen's investments in carbon-neutral production, such as Europe's largest electric boiler plant and the world's largest heat pump, have enabled Helen to move away from coal completely. Going forward, the Finnish capital will transition into electrified energy production based on heat pumps utilising waste and environmental heat, electric boilers, energy storage and sustainably produced bioenergy. Helen produces electricity mainly from wind, nuclear, hydro and solar power. "With regard to the Helsinki's direct climate emissions, we have made particularly good progress towards our goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 in terms of heating and electricity consumption. Shutting down the operations of the Salmisaari coal power plant is a really important step and a much-needed major deed. However, our determined work towards emissions reductions will not stop here, as our objective is to be net zero by 2040, and from there on we will strive towards carbon negativity," points out Deputy Mayor Anni Sinnemäki. Hydrogen offers new business opportunities As electricity production becomes more diversified, one of the most talked about clean energy solutions of the future is hydrogen. Helsinki is also investing heavily in this area. One interesting pilot project for green hydrogen production is Helen's 3H2 - Helsinki Hydrogen Hub. The goal is to start hydrogen production in a new facility in 2026. Hydrogen also offers business opportunities for international companies. Finland's key strengths in the hydrogen field are based on the clean, robust and cost competitive electricity system, a high-tech society with a predictable low-risk investment environment, an ample supply of clean water and biogenic CO2, and excellent opportunities for taking advantage of the side streams of hydrogen production.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Chris Doherty, CEO of Joulen, to discuss how data, AI, and battery storage are changing the way homes and businesses interact with renewable energy. With energy costs fluctuating and grid constraints becoming more of a challenge, the role of smart energy management has never been more important.Chris explains how virtual power plants (VPPs) allow households and small businesses to collectively act as a large-scale power provider, reducing costs and generating income. We explore how AI-driven algorithms optimise energy use, ensuring that people buy low and sell high—maximising savings and revenue.We also break down the regulatory barriers that prevent wider adoption of decentralised energy and discuss what governments can do to speed up the transition. From Germany's success in residential battery storage to the UK's evolving energy market, we look at how different countries are tackling these challenges.Other key topics:Why EVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology could replace home batteriesHow energy storage can help stabilise the grid and reduce investment in new infrastructureThe financial incentives needed to scale solar and battery adoption in homes and businessesThe growing role of demand-side management in balancing electricity supplyIf you're wondering how to make the most of your renewable energy system—or how policy can unlock wider adoption—this episode has you covered.

A virtual power plant (VPP) is a network of decentralized, small- to medium-scale power generating units, flexible power consumers, and storage systems that are aggregated and operated as a single entity through sophisticated software and control systems. Unlike a traditional power plant that exists in a single physical location, a VPP is distributed across multiple locations but functions as a unified resource. VPPs are important to power grid operations because they provide grid flexibility. VPPs help balance supply and demand on the grid by coordinating many smaller assets to respond quickly to fluctuations. This becomes increasingly important as more intermittent renewable energy sources—wind and solar—are added to the grid. “A virtual power plant is essentially an aggregation of lots of different resources or assets from the grid,” Sally Jacquemin, vice president and general manager of Power & Utilities with AspenTech, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “As a whole, they have a bigger impact on the grid than any individual asset would have on its own. And so, you aggregate all these distributed energy resources and assets together to create a virtual power plant that can be dispatched to help balance the overall system supply to demand.” VPPs provide a way to effectively integrate and manage distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar, small wind turbines, battery storage systems, electric vehicles, and demand response programs. VPPs can reduce strain on the grid during peak demand periods by strategically reducing consumption or increasing generation from distributed sources, helping to avoid blackouts and reducing the need for expensive peaker plants. Other benefits provided by VPPs include enhancing grid resilience, enabling smaller energy resources to participate in electricity markets that would otherwise be inaccessible to them individually, and reducing infrastructure costs by making better use of existing assets and reducing peak demand. VPPs enable consumers to become “prosumers,” that is, both producers and consumers of energy, giving them more control over their energy use and potentially reducing their costs. “Virtual power plants are becoming important, not only for utilities, but also in the private sector,” Jacquemin explained. “Because of the commercial value of electricity rising and the market system rates, it's now profitable for these virtual power plants in many markets due to the value of power that they can supply during these periods of low supply.” AspenTech is a leading industrial software partner, with more than 60 locations worldwide. The company's solutions address complex environments where it is critical to optimize the asset design, operation, and maintenance lifecycle. AspenTech says its Digital Grid Management solutions “enable the resilient, sustainable, and intelligent utility of the future.” “At AspenTech Digital Grid Management, our software is in control rooms of utilities around the world,” said Jacquemin. “All utilities know they need to be investing in their digital solutions and modernizing their control room technology in order to meet the demands of the energy transition. So, utilities need to be focusing more time and more money to ensure that their software and their systems are capable of enabling that utility of the future.”

Governor Glenn Youngkin is being lobbied on a bill that would change how the energy grid works. Michael Pope reports he’s expected to make a decision within the week.

On this week's news roundup, Bitdeer's acquiring rights for a 101 MW power plant and Trump wants to launch a BTC ETF. Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Colin, Will, and Matt are back at it this week with a packed docket of news. Bitdeer has acquired the rights for a $90 million, 101 MW natural gas power plant in Alberta in a bid to become even more vertically integrated, and Cipher cashes in on Project Stargate with a $50 million investment from Softbank. Plus, two cheers for taxation (but not actually): Russia has codified a tax code for bitcoin miners, and a Nebraska Senator introduces a bill for a $0.025 per kw excise tax on bitcoin miners. For our last news item, Trump wants to launch bitcoin ETFs, because memecoins just weren't sophisticated enough. And for this week's cry corner, why Ethereum is no longer deflationary and what a croissant can tell us about the future of ETH issuance (seriously).
