Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 10 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Norris: Duke Energy mandates demand response for new 100-megawatt loads
“Duke Energy said at a public event that they are now going to require all new hyperscale loads above a hundred megawatts that participate in demand response.”
Phillips: VPPs require energy management system integration for power plant parity
“I've talked to our energy control center director around, like, what would it take for us to be integrated into the energy management system? Where, you know, is that what this looks like when you actually have parity with power plants? And the answer is yes. …”
Phillips: Duke Energy manages one million customers and 2.5GW in summer capacity

Phillips: Running load switches for one hour prevents customer churn
“If I look at my level zero switches, and I don't mind calling them level zero a couple years ago, we would run them for three or four hours at a time, and customers would get very hot. Now we run them one hour at a time, and customers don't leave the program f…”
Frader-Thompson: EnergyHub deployed ~120MW combining thermostats and batteries
“We just deployed about a 120 megawatts from kind of a traditional thermostat program layering in batteries. So we're sort of stacking up these resources to both firm the resource while growing it.”
Phillips: Duke Energy activated almost all winter programs during cold snaps
“And during those two weekends, we called almost all of our winter programs.”
Phillips: Duke Energy has one million field switches, mostly one-way
“People make fun of me because we have a million switches in the field. And the vast majority of them are one way.”
