Nicholas @nicholas-gilbert.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Folks, I’ve officially made it - I’ve been followed by the New York State grid operator NYISO. You know, only the team that keeps the lights on for the biggest city in the nation! I try not to let the electricity go to my head. Let me know if you do control room tours @nyiso.com ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #energysky 030
Nicholas @nicholas-gilbert.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Honestly, I think there’s a chance that electricity prices rise so much it offsets the loss of PTC and ITC. Of course it’s consumers (me!) that will pay the difference. 000

Nicholas @nicholas-gilbert.bsky.social · 04/06/2025According to Mark Christie, New Jersey is down 2.6 GW of generation over the last 10 years, meaning they’re reliant on imports (and their power prices are about to go through the roof).

Nicholas @nicholas-gilbert.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Glad you’re on the case Councilman! I’m hoping that PJM partnership with Google will blast through the queue more quickly but I believe the interconnection timeline has been the main slowdown point! There’s still a lot of growth potential for behind the meter too, like warehouse roofs! 000

Nicholas @nicholas-gilbert.bsky.social · 21/04/2025The challenge is that the timelines are so long. It’s genuinely a tragedy that we didn’t keep building AP1000’s after completing Votgle. Like if you started TODAY, maybe a SMR reactor could be finished in 2035? Maybe? What do you think? 001
