Doing the right thing

Doing the right thing

When Irby underground employee, Darrell Phillip, encountered an angry customer who belittled him and used racial slurs, he had a choice in how to respond. In such a difficult situation, Darrell chose integrity, professionalism, and care and then reported it to his supervisor.

When Duke Energy was made aware of how Darrell handled the situation, they recognized him with their Public Engagement Hero Award.

 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is famously quoted saying, “The time is always right to do what is right.” We are so proud to have Darrell, and employees like him on the Irby team who, in an extremely difficult situation, will choose to do what is right.

A recent story in the reports that companies like Irby are poised to install record amounts of battery storage in the coming year, citing government mandates and declining costs as reasons for significant growth in power storage.

“The U.S., which had less than a gigawatt of large battery installations in 2020鈥攔oughly enough to power 350,000 homes for a handful of hours鈥攊s on pace to add six gigawatts this year and another nine gigawatts in 2022, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence,”

California is driving much of the U.S. battery market鈥檚 expansion as it races to comply with a 2018 law that requires decarbonization of its power grid by 2045. Other states also have storage mandates or targets, including New York, Virginia and Nevada, according to the U.S. Energy Storage Association.

The story says that expects the U.S. market for stationary batteries to grow from about $1 billion in 2020 to $13 billion to $14 billion by 2030.

New Report from ACORE says Transmission Makes the Grid More Resilient to Extreme Weather

A , released by the says transmission makes the power system more resilient to extreme weather.

The details the value additional transmission would have provided during five severe weather events in Texas, the Northeast, and the Midwest between 2014 and 2021.

For example, according to the report, each additional gigawatt (GW) of transmission capacity connecting the Texas power grid (ERCOT) with neighboring states in the Southeast could have saved nearly US$1 billion and kept the heat on for approximately 200,000 Texas homes during Winter Storm Uri in February of 2021.

ACORE President and CEO Gregory Wetstone commented in an article in

鈥淎s severe weather events become more frequent, our balkanized power grid is increasingly unable to deliver reliable electricity to consumers who need it,鈥 said Wetstone. 鈥淭his report demonstrates that we are already paying an enormous price for our lack of interregional transmission and that the benefits of a robust transmission grid would quickly surpass the cost of constructing new lines. It is time to implement pro-transmission policies to enable the investments we need to strengthen our grid, lower costs for consumers and reduce power outages during extreme weather events.鈥
