Experts found rogue devices, including hidden cellular radios, in Chinese-made power inverters used worldwide Chinese "kill switches" found in US solar equipment could let Beijing remotely disable power grids in a conflict.

Hidden cellular radios in Chinese-made power inverters could allow remote grid shutdowns, posing serious security risks to critical infrastructure. 🛡️💻 #CyberSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #GridSafety snip.ly/pr7lkz

Innovations in Utilities: Aiming to Tackle Rising Wildfire Risks - Cozzy Energy Solutions Innovations in Utilities: Aiming to Tackle Rising Wildfire Risks Avangrid, a leading utility company, boasts an impressive installed energy generating capacity of 10.5 GW. However, the increasing risks posed by wildfires have prompted utilities to explore innovative solutions. A recent whitepaper by the Developers Advocating Transmission Advancements (DATA) Coalition sheds light on the inefficiencies and costs associated with competitive bidding for transmission projects. The group argues that this process introduces unnecessary delays and drives up costs for energy customers. According to the report, competitively developed projects rarely bring cost savings and may even cause costs to rise due to the resulting tumult. The DATA Coalition highlights several concerns regarding competitive bidding, including "bait and switch" tactics, illusory cost caps, and delays in critical infrastructure development. The group also notes that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Order No. 1000 policy has created an incentive for developers to engage in relentless arguments over project development rights, fostering uncertainty that hinders actual infrastructure development. In contrast, some utilities support the FERC's legislation, arguing that it encourages innovation and potentially lowers costs by allowing multiple companies to compete for project development rights. However, a coalition of Wisconsin utilities and stakeholders emphasizes the importance of retaining control over grid safety and reliability, highlighting the need for a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) law. This law has already protected consumers and businesses in seven Midwestern states, preventing predatory practices and costly delays. The Wisconsin Economic Development Association notes that adopting a ROFR reform would allow the state to retain control over its grid, avoiding billions of dollars in avoidable energy costs.
