Gabrielle Gurley takes on the fractured US power grid and the lurching regional attempts to rein in carbon pollution, from RGGI to ERCOT https://prospect.org/environment/2024-10-16-falling-into-climate-disaster/

The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced it will put $360 million toward a project to create a new link between the Texas power grid, which operates independently from its neighbors, and other grids in the Southeast.
Both #ERCOT and #CAISO set new records for #battery discharge on Monday.
CAISO: At 18:10 PT Monday, 8.35 GW of energy was being discharged from batteries as solar energy declined toward sunset, representing 21.2% of load.
ERCOT: At 18:40 CT Monday, 3.94 GW of energy was being discharged from batteries as #SolarEnergy declined toward sunset, representing 6.1% of load.
In both regions, battery discharge declined rapidly within a few hours.
@kims Crypto mining companies selling power -- or withholding it for cash -- to Texas's state-contained power grid is peak capitalists selling the rope to hang themselves.

New article: Texas sets new energy demand record during strong heat wave
https://ingallswx.com/2024/08/22/texas-sets-new-energy-demand-record-during-strong-heat-wave/
#ERCOT set a new record #energy load yesterday (August 20) at 85931 MW, beating the old record of 85612 MW set on August 10, 2023.
When the record was set, #RenewableEnergy was serving about 29% of the load.
@ingalls Yes. Looks as though the pinch point comes later this evening after the sun sets and we lose that solar boost.
