Mismatch in natural gas, power market rules costs New England ratepayers: study Researchers identified a pattern in which local natural gas utilities scheduled deliveries on New England’s Algonquin Pipeline and then down-scheduled late in the gas day, which effectively decreased supply on the line and thus increased gas and power prices, costing customers $3.6 billion … Continue reading Mismatch in natural gas, power market rules costs #New_England ratepayers: study→
Long-Term Scenarios for Coal, Nuclear Power, and Natural Gas In May, Southern Company cancelled the nation’s major coal sequestration project. This action was followed by the shutdown of massive nuclear construction projects in South Carolina, announced in July. An August decision in by Duke Power to suspend plans for nuclear construction in Florida added another … Continue reading Long-Term Scenarios for Coal, Nuclear Power, and Natural Gas→
ERCOT: Natural gas composed 50% of August generation Natural gas last month was once again responsible for more than half of the power generation in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). ERCOT’s monthly demand data shows that natural gas supplied 50% of the power generation in August, making it the top fuel in the … Continue reading ERCOT: Natural gas composed 50% of August generation→
Natural gas supplies half of ERCOT demand in August; nuclear share rises Natural-gas fired generation took up half of the fuel mix in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas in August after topping 50% in July, an almost two-year high, with more nuclear generation in the stack due to fewer nuclear outages than in July, … Continue reading Natural gas supplies half of ERCOT demand in August; nuclear share rises→
New natural gas power plant in Oregon opens His voice slightly raised to get above the low thrum of the Oregon Clean Energy power plant behind him, Gov. John Kasich made clear on Monday where he stands on Ohio’s electric future. “This is the future. This is a big deal,” the governor said of the … Continue reading New natural gas power plant in Oregon opens→
DOE grid report says shale gas to blame for coal plant closures The Department of Energy says coal and nuclear are still needed to support the nation’s power grid, and the main reason for coal plant closures results from abundant, cheap shale gas production. The report had been ordered by Trump’s Secretary of Energy Rick … Continue reading DOE grid report says shale gas to blame for coal plant closures→
CAISO: Alternatives to Puentes gas plant could cost up to $1.1B California’s grid operator and Southern California Edison (SCE) worked to develop three alternative resource scenarios to meet the Moorpark local capacity requirements absent the proposed Puente gas plant. Each of the scenarios includes 80 MW of energy storage enabled demand response resources, 25 MW … Continue reading CAISO: Alternatives to Puentes gas plant could cost up to $1.1B→
LNG is the key, says New Fortress Energy boss MONTEGO BAY, St James — Managing Director of New Fortress Energy Brannen McElmurray says the transformation of Jamaica’s and the Caribbean’s energy environment is hinged on the beginning of the use of liquified natural gas (LNG). “Transforming the Caribbean’s energy landscape, improving energy efficiencies and reducing … Continue reading LNG is the key, says New Fortress Energy boss→
Is Natural Gas Threatening Grid Reliability? If you’ve been paying attention to the power markets in recent years, you know that merchant coal and nuclear power plants are struggling to compete against natural gas-fired generation and renewable resources. For example, PJM Interconnection—the world’s largest competitive power market—in late May announced results for its annual capacity … Continue reading Is Natural Gas Threatening Grid Reliability?→
