The PJM electricity market faces a capacity shortfall, due to rising demand and a slow and inefficient interconnection process. As millions of people across the region face rate hikes due to this capacity shortfall, the states that are part of the PJM market are seeking new ways to take action to help keep power affordable and reliable. In the face of these challenges, some stakeholders are seeking to attract more natural gas power plants to PJM states. However, natural gas power plants are...| Advanced Energy Perspectives
After a robust exchange of testimony, arguments, and briefings among stakeholders, the fate of We Energies’ (WEC)proposal to spend $1.2 billion on a new gas plant – a plant the utility plans to use just 10-20% of the time – now rests with the Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin.

Last summer, when temperatures soared past 100 degrees, thousands of New Mexicans worried whether their power would stay on. Thankfully, our grid held up. But extreme heat and unpredictable weather are becoming a recurring challenge, and no one should have to live in fear of losing power when they need it most.

Last May, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order No. 1920, a landmark order requiring all transmission providers to engage in multi-value long-term regional transmission planning. The order grants states significant opportunities to engage in this process.

Order No. 1920-A...| Advanced Energy Perspectives
In Nevada, the need to significantly expand power generation, transmission capacity, and regional resource sharing is urgent as the state’s energy grid struggles to keep up with rapid economic and industrial growth. Northern Nevada’s energy grid, for example, could quadruple in size as the data-storage industry continues to grow and expand in the Reno-Sparks area and beyond. Strengthening and expanding transmission lines will be especially critical to ensure that the growing demand for en...| Advanced Energy Perspectives
In the rapidly evolving energy landscape, a growing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) are being deployed on the grid, providing flexibility, resilience, cost savings, and clean energy to communities. However, as the number of grid-connected DERs grows, their full potential will only be realized if the right grid infrastructure is in place, including transmission systems that complement and support DER deployment.| blog.advancedenergyunited.org

The development of automatic transmissions leads to the implementation of several safety measures. One of those is the neutral-start-back-up switch (NSBU switch). Its purpose is to block any attempt to start the vehicle from any gear other than neutral or park. But what if the car can start from all gears? Or can it not start from neutral or park? Then the NSBU switch can be the culprit. Is there a way how to reset the NSBU switch? If the NSBU switch has moved from its position, it can be loo...| AxleWise
