The #energytransition requires assets that perform as expected. My latest in Solar Builder Magazine:
Hi all: Does anyone have a good data source showing impact of climate and weather changes on solar irradiance throughout the US - e.g. is there n increasing number of days where clouds (and smoke, if there's any data) block the sun or heat makes solar panels less productive. I'm doing an article on the various factors which cut solar production. TIA
Vanessa Warheit@climatefuturist I’m reading “Our House Is On Fire” right now, and really enjoying it. I love how it acknowledges the interconnections among #climate breakdown, family and personal psychology, #neurodiversity, and artistic expression.

Definitely agree distribution-level challenges vary greatly by jurisdiction. The DSOs with more progress on distribution network visibility either have to comply with regulations (e.g. UK) or have to manage an increasingly congested network (e.g. Netherlands). And even when DSOs decide their strategy is to overbuild distribution capacity, not only is it costly, there is a long wait: the wait time of new transformer delivery is currently 50-60 weeks.

Christian RoselundICYMI: Wood Mackenzie / SEIA figures are validating what ACP previously reported. U.S. Q3 2022 #Solar installations are down 17% y-o-y, and 2022 will be the slowest year for installations since 2019. This is largely as a result of UFLPA detentions, but also the impacts of the Hoshine WRO & anti-circumvention investigation.

Trade and Supply Chain Barriers Delay Impact of Historic Clean Energy Law | SEIA
WASHINGTON, D.C. and HOUSTON, TX — The U.S. added 4.6 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity in Q3 2022, a 17% decrease from the same quarter last year as trade barriers and ongoing supply chain constraints continue to slow America’s clean energy progress.
Sherry ListgartenMy latest blog post is on what it's like to work in the trades. I'd love to encourage more people to think about that work. The one thing I should have covered but didn't is the question about union. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/blogs/p/2022/12/04/some-of-the-best-jobs-around #EnergyTwitter
Paul LehmannProblem solved: Lazard's 2021 report inludes charts which decompose LCOE into capital , O&M and fuel costs for different electricity generation technologies (low end and high end). Kudos to @dt
