Energy Storage

“When union labor leads, everyone succeeds. If New Jersey is serious about lowering energy bills and meeting skyrocketing demand, we must start building energy here, and we must start now,” said Greg Lalavee, Business Manager of Operating Engineers Local 825. “Through Climate Jobs New Jersey, we are laying out a simple plan: build energy here, store it here, and put New Jersey back in charge of its own energy future.”

"'Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given,' Rui Ma wrote on X after returning from a recent tour of China’s AI hubs."

"The clean energy will be used to power AI servers and the electricity it generates will be sold to one company: Microsoft."

"New Jersey has launched a landmark energy storage initiative that aims to deliver 2GW of capacity by 2030 while cutting long-term electricity costs and strengthening grid reliability."

Wind energy is not plug and play. A lot of engineering and technical challenges still must be resolved.

"There’s a full-on race in the tech industry, and in tech-centric investment communities, to spend billions of dollars on new AI-infused infrastructures. The furious pace of expanding manufacturing to produce AI-capable silicon chips and simultaneously building massive, AI-infused datacenters is shattering the illusion that a digital economy enables a decoupling of economic growth from rising energy use."

Data centers, electric vehicles, and industrial electrification are driving projections of 4.5% annual load growth in PJM territory - a dramatic increase that will require new generation and transmission investments. This comes as the industry struggles with supply chain delays and workforce shortages.
