The North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s 2024 summer reliability assessment finds that a large part of North America remains at risk of supply shortfalls, while other areas show reduced risk due to resource additions.
The electric power grid managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas recorded an all-time high for winter natural gas-fired electricity generation for an hour in January, according to the Energy Information Administration’s Hourly Electric Grid Monitor, when a three-day cold snap increased electricity demand.
BrightNight and joint venture partner Cordelio Power have secured a $414 million construction credit facility for their Box Canyon utility-scale solar power project in Pinal County, Arizona. The Southwest Public Power Agency has entered into a power purchase agreement for the project.
Silicon Ranch, an independent power producer, and Middle Tennessee Electric, the largest electric cooperative in the Tennessee Valley Authority region, recently announced a solar agreement under TVA’s newly expanded Generation Flexibility Program.
The public power community of Thomasville, Ga., is implementing significant upgrades to its utility management infrastructure using smart grid technology and advanced metering infrastructure.
Historically, utilities have used drones by either hiring drone service providers that use professional pilots or starting dedicated aviation units with their utility. But Skydio’s drones are in a different class. They use artificial intelligence to interpret the visual data coming from the six fisheye cameras that serve as the drone’s “eyes.” The drone then uses AI to interpret the visual data and to map out the terrain in which the drone is flying, enabling it to navigate that terrain while avoiding obstacles.
How public power utilities are working with other community organizations and city departments to reduce emissions across the transportation, building, and industrial sectors.
Why advanced nuclear is becoming an increasingly valued option in the future generating mix, and lessons from public power projects leading the way.
