A bill for cutting carbon emissions calls for equity in job training and transition programs, an office of energy justice, increased oversight, and curbs on utility influence over regulators.

New York-based National Grid US envisions a “hydrogen hub” on Long Island that it says will help the state and city meet net-zero carbon goals in the coming decades.

The utility shared those goals and ideas as part of Climate Week NYC. National Grid US had developed a vision highlighting Long Island as an ideal location to cluster hydrogen production, storage, and demand.

Arizona-based municipal utility Salt River Project connected its largest battery storage facility into the grid this month.

SRP has placed the 25-MW energy storage facility into service at its Bolster Substation, which is adjacent to the gas-fired Agua Fria Generating Station. The fully charged battery site can power about 5,600 homes for close to four hours, according to reports.

The newly formed Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2) and the International Hydropower Association (IHA) have set out a mutually strengthening vision of how their two sectors can collaborate and contribute to tackling climate change.

Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis of water, using electricity generated by low-carbon power sources such as hydropower, wind, and solar.

With next week’s FERC meeting on SEEM proposal, the question is back on the table: will FERC approve a group of southeast utilities’ proposal for organizing a market? This fall is the first legislative session across the US and other states where the discussion is around clean energy and what incentives are needed for utilities to deploy more renewables.
