    ]]>     EPRI Current, Dave Weaver from Exelon, Clift Pompee from Compass Datacenters, and Anuja Ratnayake from EPRI join host Samantha Gilman to discuss how new approaches to flexibility can accelerate grid connections amid surging demand.   Experts focus on EPRI’s recently launched Flex MOSAIC™, a framework developed through EPRI’s DCFlex initiative to define what flexibility means in practice by creating a shared, performance-based language between utilities and large load customers. By defining five distinct classes of flexibility with clear parameters such as notification time, duration, and frequency of use, Flex MOSAIC™ helps align expectations upfront and reduce the ambiguity that has historically slowed interconnection.   Tune in to hear about how concepts like “headroom” and performance-based flexibility classes can help unlock existing grid capacity, reduce interconnection timelines, and support reliability. With perspectives from across the energy ecosystem, the episode highlights both the opportunity and the coordination required to enable faster, more adaptive grid integration.

    More than 52 years after EPRI was born as a result of a massive North American blackout, EPRI Current host Samantha Gilman speaks with Eamonn Lannoye, Director, EPRI Europe  and Sean McGuiness Senior Technical Executive, EPRI Europe, to discuss the recent power blackout in Spain, Portugal and parts of France. The whole system went down in five seconds.  What do we know about why it happened?  What do we not yet know, and why can it take time to fully understand the root causes?  Are  observers jumping to conclusions before all the data is in? Lannoye has been a frequent contributor to international media stories about the event. He and McGuiness share their expertise on the series of events and caution about drawing conclusions too quickly.

    A group of more than 30 scientists from 17 organizations across the country joined in co-authoring an influential article in Science magazine that used different state-of-the-art models to analyze potential implications of key IRA provisions, particularly on emissions and energy systems. Among the findings of the modeling…IRA provisions may help produce economy-wide emissions reductions between 43 and 48% below 2005 levels by 2035.

    ]]>     According to the Department of Energy, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 “makes the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history.” Key provisions of the legislation were designed to incentivize clean energy and carbon management, encourage electrification and efficiency measures, reduce methane emissions, promote domestic supply chains, and address environmental justice concerns. 

     

    A group of more than 30 scientists from 17 organizations across the country joined in co-authoring an influential article in Science magazine that used different state-of-the-art models to analyze potential implications of key IRA provisions, particularly on emissions and energy systems. Among the findings of the modeling…IRA provisions may help produce economy-wide emissions reductions between 43 and 48% below 2005 levels by 2035.
