Wow ……. The Department of Energy (DOE) has closed a $26.54 billion loan package—the largest single loan commitment in the agency’s history—with Southern Co. subsidiaries Georgia Power and Alabama Power to finance more than 16 GW of “firm” generation and more than 1,300 miles of transmission infrastructure and grid enhancement across the Southeast. #energy #grid #power

⚡ PJM Greenlights 300-Mile Midwest Transmission Project PJM has approved a 300-mile, 765-kV transmission project in central Ohio to meet soaring electricity demand, particularly from manufacturing, EVs, and data centers. The project is being developed by Grid Growth Ventures, a joint venture of Transource Energy (American Electric Power + Evergy) and FirstEnergy Transmission, and includes upgrades to multiple substations to boost reliability and support regional growth. With one 765-kV line capable of powering 2 million homes, this corridor consolidates power delivery while reducing land use and environmental impact. The move comes as AEP doubles its large-load forecast, adding 28 GW of demand since last October, and signals that utilities are racing to keep up with the data center-driven energy boom. 💡 Bottom line: Transmission is now as critical as generation - powering data centers, industry, and future growth. #Transmission #GridReliability #DataCenters #PowerInfrastructure #EnergyTransition #Renewables #PJM

Grand River Dam Authority
#GRDATBT 📸 GRDA SCADA-Hydro Superintendent Joe Webb is pictured inside the Salina Pumped Storage Project powerhouse in February 2001. SCADA, which stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is technology that allows operators to gather data quickly and automate equipment, including hydroelectric generating units. In the early days of Pensacola Dam, operators staffed the powerhouse around the clock. Advances in automation, like SCADA, made remote monitoring and operations possible across GRDA’s hydroelectric fleet. Team members like Webb have played a vital role in maintaining and advancing these systems for decades.

Fusion Future
Fuse Energy’s TITAN Marx generator hits 330 GW peak power, paving the path to terawatt fusion Fuse Energy has published peer-reviewed results showing 330 GW peak power from its six-stage TITAN impedance-matched Marx generator, with the 14-stage system set to deliver one terawatt. The California-based company tested the device at its San Leandro facility, achieving these power levels in 100-nanosecond pulses with timing jitter below two nanoseconds between stages. The architecture addresses longstanding problems in pulsed power systems. Traditional Marx generators with pulse-forming lines operate at around 50 percent energy delivery efficiency. TITAN reaches 90 percent by eliminating intermediate hardware and matching impedance throughout. Each of the 14 stages contains 17 bricks in parallel, each brick with a pair of 80 nanofarad capacitors linked by a field-distortion triggered gas switch. Only the first three stages need active triggering. Remaining stages self-fire as the wave propagates, reducing trigger circuit complexity by orders of magnitude compared to linear transformer drivers. Testing revealed practical advantages beyond specs. Switch lifetimes exceed 10,000 shots, and the gas delivery system uses standard dry air instead of SF6, removing toxicity and greenhouse gas concerns. Adjusting gas pressure between stages changes pulse characteristics predictably. Higher pressure in late stages shortened rise time to 83.6 nanoseconds; lower pressure extended it to 128.2. This pulse shaping matters for fusion experiments where plasma behavior depends on precise timing. Development involves partnerships with Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, who need pulsed power for nuclear effects testing, creating a revenue path as fusion matures. Aerospace and semiconductor manufacturers require radiation exposure testing for components that must survive high-energy particle environments. TITAN generates neutron and ion streams for these uses, making the device a commercial product as well as research infrastructure. Fuse built the system weighing 22 tons with about 40,000 parts, 20,000 litres of dielectric oil, and 640 litres of recirculated deionized water. The full 14-stage assembly stores 190.4 kilojoules at max voltage. Measured results from the six-stage setup matched circuit simulations within one percent, suggesting design models accurately predict full-scale performance. The company expects the 14-stage system to reach one terawatt into a two-ohm matched load, positioning it as a driver for magnetized liner inertial fusion experiments requiring multi-megaampere currents to compress metallic liners around fusion fuel. #FusionEnergy #NuclearFusion #FusionResearch #CleanEnergy #FusionPower
