Ross of Ottawa<p>I saw something celebratory go by about Spain managing a day powered totally by renewable energy sources recently, and yet today they've been hit by a blackout. </p><p>This highlights how, while renewable energy is an excellent step forward, a transition towards networks of microgrids is an important step the world needs to embrace for more resilient, robust and adaptable operation.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electricalGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electricalGrid</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electricity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electricity</span></a></p>

CelloMom On Cars<p>" The US could essentially double the capacity of its <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElectricalGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricalGrid</span></a> overnight by plugging renewables projects into old fossil fuel power plants, University of California Berkeley researchers found, whether they be coal, gas or oil. And projects could be plugged into existing plants, not just ones that are retiring.

White House announces actions to modernize America’s #ElectricalGrid, paving the way for clean energy and fewer outages

"The new initiative between the feds and 21 states aims to make faster fixes and improvements to the grid, committing to build a bigger and more modern grid as part of a larger effort to reduce power outages and increase electrical transmission capacity – a massive hurdle to getting more #CleanEnergy on the grid."
