2023 began with a mild winter, setting the pace for a relatively quiet year in which natural gas and wholesale electricity prices dropped and the U.S. added a net 26 GW in generation capacity.
NASA
The upcoming April 8 solar eclipse will run a course from central Mexico to Newfoundland, but grid operators far from its path of totality will be dealing with its impact.
NERC
The Washington Post’s warning that “America is running out of power” lacks context and distracts us from the real work at hand, says columnist Steve Huntoon.
NYISO
The Operating Committee was briefed on one of NYISO’s most humdrum winters, characterized by high temperatures, low gas prices and below-average loads.
