What’s Your Security Plan? If you’re not listening to folks in DC and grid operators, I can assure you that the security of your solar and storage plants will need to be taken into account. That will include bringing your cybersecurity and data plans up to par, elevating your asset management standard and possibly bringing your industrial controls package into compliance. This is no small thing, solar can make our break a grid resiliency and as an operator/owner of those plants, you’ll be asked to ensure compliance.
Jobs To Build Homes For Jobs. It’s not just solar jobs that’s booming, but also the jobs to build the factories that will support solar supply chain.

More Guidance Arrives. The big one is here, guidance on the ITC transferability and direct pay provisions including who is eligible for the direct pay. Amongst those eligible for the direct pay provision are governments, tax exempt entities (including many cooperative utilities), the TVA and Native American tribal governments. Transferability will open up the market for buyers (and brokers) that will start bidding on your tax equity to resell to their eligible investors. We’ll be interested to see how close credits get to 100% as demand increases for a somewhat limited supply.
Relatable Congress. When it comes to climate change Congress has been questioning scientists for decades, and I don’t mean when someone asked Senator Kerry about his political science degree. But more often than not, members of the House do not have much real life experience around climate change so it’s great when a member has learned experiences. We need more of that, hopefully a Wakeup reader will run and win!

Relentless Attacks, But Why? The House majority is taking up a repeal of the ITC and PTC in Ways and Means. Solar is supported by both parties and solar manufacturing is opening factories all over America, including many red districts. Yet the leaders of the most powerful committee in the House is taking on the key tax benefit for the fastest growing energy source in the US.
Biden Climate Record? Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Veto of the CRA and the Inflation Reduction Act. Not a bad start for a first term President.

The Problem That Today’s Grid Presents. The grid can’t handle the energy transition is the biggest talking point that is fed to members of Congress charged with slowing down the energy transition that consumers want. What if every car became an EV, could the grid even handle that? Reality is that people that buy electric vehicles and industry shifting to electric or solar don’t think about the impact to the grid, the grid operators are held accountable for that. Regulators need to accept that and plan accordingly.
Why It’s A Problem And Setting. This is the manifestation of what I said above, coal is declining no matter what happens next. Grids are either going to send the pricing signals to make sure the private investments or they will be left in a painful position with increased costs to consumers. ERCOT is going to hit record demand next week and hopefully will be able to make it work with the infrastructure that’s already in place but it will need far more resilience in the future.
