I'm not seeing any public articles on this, but there's an interesting fight in Nebraska over allowing IPPs to build energy storage projects (currently disallowed by law). An interesting twist, to me, is that the utilities working to protect their monopoly rights here are public power entities. 🔌💡

There’s a mix of things to think about underneath “public power” and how much work is needed on munis but one thing I’m sure of is that there’s better ways to build energy storage than to let private developers do it and charge us rents.
