Uncover the hidden intricacies of the energy sector's most pressing issues and pioneering breakthroughs in this week's thought-provoking episode. Is the answer to our energy grid's slow progress and growing demand found in FERC's bold approval of PJM's new Reliability Resource Initiative? With energy sector leaders and experts gathering at RE Plus Northeast in Boston, we dissect the critical challenges plaguing interconnection and transmission, while also exploring innovative projects aimed at fast-tracking generation and storage assets to alleviate capacity shortfalls. Pioneering regulatory changes promise to reshape the landscape, but are they enough to meet the looming energy demand?

Transitioning to future-forward technologies, the episode delves into the promising advancements in battery technology and offshore wind energy. BYD's strides in solid-state battery production hint at a potential leap in energy storage solutions, with mass demonstrations on the horizon for 2027. Meanwhile, Siemens Gamesa is betting big on offshore wind power, with significant investment in expanding its manufacturing capabilities in France. With firm orders already in place, this expansion signals a brighter future for renewable energy. Join us for insights from the forefront of energy innovation and learn about the projects poised to reshape our energy systems.
