Die Batterie speichert Strom hier – die Grube dafür liegt anderswo (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Überall im Land sollen gigantische Batteriespeicher entstehen: Zuverlässige Kraftwerke werden in die Luft gesprengt; grüne Minister wie der unselige Christian Meyer in Niedersachsen freuen sich vor den Ruinen und sprechen von Batterieparks, die für die sogenannte „Energiewende“ an alten Kraftwerksstandorten errichtet werden sollen, neben Solarparks, an Umspannwerken, in Industriegebieten. Planer und Politiker werfen mit Giga-Größen

America's Energy Future Is Being Decided In Obscure Utility Commission Races
Authored by Elizabeth Gianini via RealClearEnergy,
Most Americans could not name a single member of their state Public Service or Utility Commission (PSC/PUC).
Radical climate activists are counting on that.
Across the country, radical climate activists and left-wing environmental organizations are pouring millions of dollars into obscure utility commission races because they understand something many voters do not: these commissions increasingly influence the future of America's electric grid.
These regulatory bodies decide how electricity is generated, how transmission infrastructure is built, how quickly power plants retire, how new resources are integrated into the grid, and ultimately how much Americans pay for electricity and whether the lights stay on when the system is under stress.
In Georgia, radical climate activists invested heavily in the 2025 PSC races, helping defeat Republican commissioners who suppo...

DOE Declares Southeast Grid Emergency As Sweltering Heat Boosts AC Demand
As the U.S. men's national soccer team kicks off its first match against Paraguay in Southern California on Friday night, large swaths of the country are trapped in what feels like a wet sauna, with dangerous heat and humidity forcing households to crank up their air conditioning and straining power grids from the Southeast to the Northeast.
On Thursday, the Department of Energy issued an emergency order to mitigate blackout risks across the Carolinas amid extreme heat that threatens to sharply increase power demand.
The order, issued under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act, allows Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress to run certain generating units at maximum output.
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright stated, "Maintaining affordable, reliable, and secure power in the Duke Energy service territory is non-negotiable."
"The previous administration's energy subtraction policies weakened the gr...

Goldman Flags Tightening Power Grid In Texas Amid Rapid Data Center Growth
Goldman shared some of their thoughts on the tightening of power markets as the decade comes to a close. ERCOT's own Preliminary Long-Term Load Forecast now sees baseline peak-summer demand (excluding most medium and large loads) growing at a 5.2% average annual rate from 2026 through 2030. This is already well above the 3.4% realized average of 2022-2025.
Layer in the medium- and large-scale additions, overwhelmingly data centers plus crypto and industrial electrification, and the forecast explodes to 31% average annual peak-summer growth.
Put that in national context and Texas alone would account for 39% of total U.S. peak-summer power demand by 2030, up from just 11% last year, assuming the rest of the country continues its slower recent trajectory.
Goldman analysts flag a 200 GW queue of large-load applications sitting with the grid operator. Even if only 10% of that queue ultimately energizes, it would still l...
