…system load entirely without gas generation, but for needing gas’s ramping capability. And here’s where it gets interesting. Looking at the chart below you can see Saturday’s exports to NYISO were diurnal, matching BTM solar production. ISO-NE couldn’t curtail BTM solar, so it exported the…
🧵 So much behind-the-meter solar and so little load today, it looks like ISO New England chose to curtail imports, including the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line, rather than gas resources. There’s only a GW of gas production, and NECEC capacity is usually at 1.1 GW.
…a measurable beneficial effect on emissions and pricing today, but today is just a snapshot of the larger impact those resources are having in the ISO-NE service territory throughout the year.
We had our EV charging in Davis Sq. overnight. Seems there it was 9:11p-1:34a.
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reports 6,505 Somerville customers without power. Must.get.battery.storage.
Eversource reporting three customers out in my neighborhood in Somerville, when it’s clear my entire block is out and poweroutage.com says 1,000+ are without power.
More than 50% of all New England electricity demand being served by behind-the-meter solar midday today .
Leaving this from @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social piece in today’s @nytimes.com here. More than any other state, Massachusetts is vulnerable to shifts in the price of natural gas. Gas is a climate problem, sure, but it’s also a political, social, and economic problem. Let’s get on the right path.
*ahem* I would like to take this opportunity to correct the Record…
1:2 Wow! …7+ GW of behind-the-meter solar production at one point yesterday here in the ISO New England Inc. control area. Another milestone of sorts will be the day when solar reduces the midday minimum load to half the overnight minimum load. Using yesterday as an example, the minimum overnight…
This used EV is the same price as used ICE vehicles of comparable vintage. You don’t need to have pate de fois gras be a regular part of your diet to afford a car that’s less expensive to fuel and requires less maintenance.
Still more than a quarter of a million customers without power this morning in SE Mass.
Just another day at the office for @iso-ne.com apparently. And in case you were wondering, not a drop of oil being burned thus far. Different story for the distribution cos.
Okay internet, Red Tail or Bald Eagle? I say a juvenile Bald Eagle.
Natural gas supply, transmission, and distribution costs drive energy bills higher in related and distinct ways. Here are five leading causes for cost increases. acadiacenter.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/u...
