Don't miss tomorrow's electric utility industry news
This audio is auto-generated. Please let us know if you have feedback. Will Hazelip is president of National Grid Ventures US. Will Hazelip America’s ability to lead in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and energy innovation depends on something that rarely makes headlines: electric transmission infrastructure. Electricity demand is rising faster than it has in decades, fueled by data centers and domestic manufacturing, two highly energy‑intensive sectors accelerating electrification.
Repowering can avert an energy reliability crisis
The last thing any New Yorker wants to think about on a sweltering summer afternoon is whether their electricity will stay on. We expect the air conditioner to hum, the refrigerator to run, and the lights to glow. But this summer, that simple expectation rests on a razor's edge.
In our clean energy transition, we still need reliable power
New York’s energy demand is increasing rapidly. Eventually, it will outpace the state’s available power. While there is a sincere effort by the state and private partners like National Grid Ventures to bring enough renewable power online to close this gap, the task requires a monumental shift in the way New York produces power. Already, a recent state report acknowledged New York will miss the target of 70% renewable electricity by 2030. Gov.
For a Just Energy Transition that Preserves Jobs, Clean Hydrogen Must Be Part of the Playbook
Gov. Hochul celebrates clean hydrogen (photo: Mike Groll/Governor's Office) Too often, conversations about how to address climate change have a glaring blind spot. Supporters and opponents frequently debate the merits of various clean energy solutions and argue over where to locate wind turbines and solar fields. But one key piece of the clean energy puzzle remains conspicuously absent: the people who will build and operate clean energy facilities.
Long Island is Becoming a Clean Energy Hub to Replicate Acro
This week, thousands of leaders are in New York for Climate Week 2022. While the presentations and networking are happening in New York City, the action is taking place to the east on Long Island. As more clean energy solutions like offshore wind, solar, battery storage, and clean hydrogen surface, Long Island is quickly emerging as a clean energy hub.

Provincetown hooked up to large electricity battery
ONE OF THE LARGEST electric batteries in the nation is starting to provide backup power for Provincetown and will soon do the same for Truro and part of Wellfleet. The $49 million battery, located on a few acres at the Provincetown transfer station, is designed to seamlessly integrate with the power grid in the area, called a microgrid. Whenever power goes down in a section of the grid, the battery will release its backup electricity to plug the gap.
Federal funds, used wisely, can tackle climate change
AMERICANS CAN FINALLY breathe clean air and a sigh of relief as we see the path ahead to our clean energy future. For decades, the prospects for a livable future looked dim as we fought an uphill battle to make sure the United States would fully embrace climate action and clean energy.

THE MAINE SUPREME Judicial Court on Tuesday breathed new life into a Massachusetts-financed power line designed to carry hydro-electricity from Canada to Lewiston and from there into the New England power grid.

THE OPERATOR of the New England power grid and six of the region's major utilities are calling on state and federal policymakers to develop an "energy reserve" that can be tapped when energy supply chains are disrupted.

FOR YEARS , Secretary of State William Galvin ignored requests for diversity data on his staff, saying he didn't collect the information. But this year, facing a primary challenge from Tanisha Sullivan, the head of the Boston office of the NAACP, he changed course. At a on GBH on August 10, where his past refusal to collect the data came up, Galvin revealed that he now had diversity data for his staff and promised to release the information the next day.

MANY PEOPLE ACROSS the United States are devastated by the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs , which overturned a half century of precedent and abolished the federal constitutional right to abortion. For years, many activists have channeled that despair into fighting for change at the federal level, for instance, by pressing Congress to pass laws that safeguard abortion or alter the size of the Supreme Court.

AS LEGISLATORS ponder whether to resurrect a $350 million "relief" fund for Massachusetts hospitals, we suggest that they first step up the state's informational capacity to better assure that they are allocating funding to institutions truly in financial need.

MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN about the legalization of sports betting in the Commonwealth. The introduction of this much-debated and formerly illegal pastime is a tribute to the power of the gambling industry in Massachusetts.

IN A RESIDENTIAL neighborhood on suburban Long Island, a clean energy technology that is both old and new could be the answer to eliminating carbon emissions from the entire economy across the country. In Hempstead, a project called HyGrid will blend green hydrogen with renewable natural gas to safely and reliably heat homes, while slashing emissions.
Hydrogen's time in the energy mix has come
Tax credits in the new law, combined with funding from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, indicate hydrogen might be finally catching on. None of this has happened overnight. National Grid has advanced this technology for years through more than two dozen research projects with academic and industry partners because we believe this is a fuel that will keep the Earth from getting warmer.

ONE OF THE GREAT PUZZLES of the past year is that the world was devastated by a plague and Massachusetts tax revenues were...pretty much OK. Month after month, the state is collecting far more money than expected, dissolving initial fears of a multi-billion dollar deficit and leading to a new realization that state finances are relatively healthy. This remarkable turn-of-events raises two fundamental questions.
