#Seminar #Interconnection

When you look up at a rooftop solar installation, you see the hard costs. But this stuff isn’t what costs the most. In the U.S. these hard costs only make up about 20% of the total cost of a #system. The soft costs—that’s all the stuff that you don’t see—make up the remaining 80%.
“The soft costs are things like the cost of #permitting, the #overhead charged by the installer, and #inspection costs—even the cost of getting the #sale," Griffith said.

On 7 June 2023, GÉANT and CSTNet – the China Science and Technology Network – signed at #TNC23 a new 15-year agreement for tenfold increase of #interconnection capacity, in support of stronger Europe-China #research collaborations.

~ Sharon Salzberg

we are in relationship with everything & everything can benefit from our open heart & wisdom. this can be our practice.

may we practice opening our heart, settling our minds, & allowing wisdom to arise out of present awareness.

UK, Netherlands plan 1.8 GW 'hybrid interconnection', connecting a Dutch offshore wind farm to both countries, and providing extra interconnection capacity at the same time.
Useful given the time difference in the occurrence of high and low wind speeds.

On my way to the kick-off meeting of a project to support the Dutch Ministry of Economy and Climate in designing its Energy Infrastructure Plan North Sea, for 2030 and beyond. Great to be working on the strategic vision as Common Futures!
With Deloitte, MottMacDonald, and Norton Rose Fulbright.

The One Health Disparities Framework focuses on interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health. Social environments drive disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic, including its origins, transmission and susceptibility among humans, and spill back to other species.

Information gaps are tripping up solar developers—@EIAgov has the authority to help.

@DaveGahl joins @johnffarrell and @SunBaca to discuss the need for better #interconnection data:

"You can pass big, ambitious #climate laws, but if you don't pay attention to details like #interconnection rules, you can quickly run into trouble," said David Gahl of @SolarInstitute_. | @nytimes https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/climate/renewable-energy-us-electrical-grid.html

For the past year, the EU Commission has been dodging questions about the policy objective behind its Internet traffic tax proposal. The number of voices against it is significant, raising legitimate questions about this push. The Commission keeps quiet

@fintech Timing for announcement is funny given that #WellsFargo had #Zelle outage 4 days ago with bad PR - not a way to build confidence. To that point, #EarlyWarningServices has a network to the banks that was built for batch processing. If they want to compete with #PayPal, they need a modern network (e.g. #interconnection) like PayPal's. Lastly, if they want retailers to adopt they should deliver #A2Apayment for lower costs than #creditcards. #payments #banking

European #telcos feel they deserve special treatment. Yet, in the Internet no one is or should be more special than another.

#TIM published a document in support of #fairshare. Beside other understandable arguments, they insist in saying that they cannot refuse #interconnection with large #OTT because of #netneutrality rules. This is false 1/ https://www.gruppotim.it/content/dam/gt/centro-studi-tim/FairSharedef.pdf
