A 1,000% increase in @apsFYI's Power Supply Adjustor charge. But instead of focusing on the impact to customers and utility bills, @CorpCommAZ Chair @nickmyersaz attacks the reporter asking hard questions. No wonder AZ energy bills are so high. bit.ly/4BiT72H

In just four years, annual battery storage additions grew tenfold as costs declined, driving rapid deployment.
The same increase in solar capacity took nine years, and wind 15 years.

Amid record-shattering demand this summer, the Texas grid held up reliably, without a single emergency alert or request to converve energy. Why? The answer from energy experts is unanimous: #solar panels and batteries. houstonchronicle.com/busines…
Re: Friday's order by @energy Sec. Wright forcing a costly Colo. coal plant to stay open: "a hiccup on the farewell tour for coal in Colorado, just a little political theater manufactured by Trump & his team." Great stuff from @BigPivots bigpivots.com/implications-o…

Good morning with good news: Solar panel costs are now down to 12 cents per watt from $6 in 2000!
Cheap solar triggers rooftop/small solar surge in many places, including Africa, Europe, & Asia.
Small solar totals ~1.2 TW & growing rapidly!

A new @SierraClub AZ report examines what @apsFYI's planned gas buildout could mean for ratepayers. Unsurprising spoiler alert: more gas means higher bills, greater risk of exposure to volatile fuel costs, decades of soaring costs for customers. Read more: bit.ly/4yaskDy
Electricity costs are on the rise in AZ as the state races to build data centers that consume huge amounts of power & water. Before @CorpCommAZ rubberstamps more, AZ needs a plan. Development minus a plan passes costs onto communities & ratepayers. bit.ly/4yhVT67
During Colo. PUC hearing on @XcelEnergyCO's proposed rules for serving massive data center power demands, @copirg's @dannykatzbc said "We need to get this right." Unfortunately, much of what Xcel's proposal is wrong and needs to be fixed pirg.org/colorado/updates/th… #CleanUpXcel
1 year ago, @XcelEnergyCO's newest, largest coal unit broke down. It's been out for a year & Xcel wants customers to pay millions to fix it, millions for replacement power, & it wants to lean on unreliable coal even more. Insane. pirg.org/colorado/foundation… #CleanUpXcel @copirg
The grid is flooded with new data center proposals that will never become reality – but households will get stuck with higher electricity bills as a result of speculative spending on larger fossil-fueled power plants. Time for PUCs to protect ratepayers. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A plan by @NTEnergyCompany to dig up 500 million tons of #Navajo coal over the next 100+ yrs w the only mine customer set to close in 5 yrs, & Trump mining officials host 1 public mtg? Power to @DineCare, @tonizhoniani, others trying to stop the insanity insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Of course @NTEnergyCompany dodges questions about what it will do with 500 million tons of coal over the next 110 years. Its only customer is a 60-year-old coal plant that is nearing retirement and there is no other market. This proposal makes zero sense. knau.org/knau-and-arizona-ne…

This is simple: no more fossil fuels for generating electricity. #cleanenergy is the most affordable answer - by billions. energyinnovation.org/report/… @EnergyInnovLLC
Starting to see a pattern here? @CorpCommAZ loses again before the AZ Court of Appeals for not following rules. This time, the court overturned a fee on @apsFYI #solar customers, finding the ACC violated due process. It must rehear the case or kill the fee bit.ly/4vas5ae
Utility-scale #solar overtook fossil gas generation in the @CaliforniaISO footprint over the first 5 months of 2026, according to @EIAgov. Also, from January-May, solar in CAISO increased 21% compared to 2024, while fossil gas generation fell 60%. utilitydive.com/news/califor…
With a boost from federal policies in 2022, the U.S. #solar manufacturing base has roared to life, opening up enough factory capacity to assemble nearly 70 GW of finished solar panels, according to the @SEIA. canarymedia.com/articles/sol… @CanaryMediaInc
Solar surpasses coal for a full month for the first time ... and it won't be the last time. ember-energy.org/latest-upda…
Connect the dots. In the same year @XcelEnergyCO
reaped record profits of nearly $1 billion and inflated CEO pay by 24%, they ask for the biggest rate hike ever. Making a strong case for GOAT utility - Greediest of All Time. coloradosun.com/2026/06/04/x…
@ByMarkJaffe #CleanUpXcel
Colorado's newest and most expensive coal plant is still broken, and @XcelEnergyCO is hiding what should be public information on the repairs, cost and pollution. Time for the Colorado PUC to pull back the curtain. #NoMoreXcelSecrets cpr.org/2026/03/31/colorado-…
