DC rejected Washington Gas' expensive, irresponsible gas pipe renewal program today. Their public utilities commission claimed that the estimated cost of $4.5 BILLION was unjust and did not align with DC's climate goals.
As a commissioner on Richmond's Public Utilities and Services Commission, I hope to raise similar concerns and questions. Richmond Gas Works is sleepwalking Richmond residents into a financial disaster and I want to help stop that.

Is that....a cold climate heat pump in #papermario the Thousand Year Door??

This is the most egregious gas leak Beyond Methane RVA has discovered yet 😱. One of our members found this pipe spewing gas on December 20th, 2023. Since then the surrounding building managers and necessary city officials have been notified, but no action has been taken! This leak is dangerous!
It's time to break up with natural gas. #climate #energy #energydon #rva #virgina

Is anyone able to explain reactive power to me like I’m five? I read this and I’m not entirely understanding it.
https://www.techopedia.com/definition/15008/reactive-power
This article mentions that reactive power is tied to grid inertia, but I don’t understand how. I understand grid inertia and the need for things like synchronous condensers and grid forming inverters, but how is that at all related to reactive power other than both of them being characteristics of AC electrical systems?

Yesterday, @Nathanpboston, members of Beyond Methane RVA, and I were panelists on Electrify Now talking about gas leaks throughout the natural gas value chain, energy justice, gas utilities financial woes, and Richmond's newly created Public Utilities Commission. Check it out!

If the #environment is given a proper valuation, a 50% capacity factor NPP may be a less capital-intensive load follower than a hydro power plant.

The most practical way to reduce wind cannibalization is to double the effective transfer distance. We need 800 kV DC lines.

OL3 ramping up after the weekend.

We're getting Swedish hydro again. A month of wild price variations should be over.

The 20-day refueling&maintenance outage at Loviisa 1 begins tomorrow at noon CET, a day ahead of time.

#WindPower did load following last night.

Of the three options to compensate for the variable wind generation:
1. peaker plants
2. storage
3. long-distance transfer,3. is almost completely neglected.

Huomenna uhkaa sähköpula, kun Ruotsin siirtoyhteydet ovat poissa pelistä. Kriittisinä tunteina Espoossa kWh maksaa n. 75 c. Hyvä hetki miettiä, kumpi on parempi:
1. Hintakatto, jotta hinta pysyy joka tunti kohtuullisena.
2. Ei käytetä sähköä, ettei se lopu.

People claiming that high capital cost and low operating cost make nuclear unsuitable for load following don't realize that the same would then apply to hydro as well.
-
Loviisa 2 will start ramping down to an 18-day refueling outage tomorrow at 04:30 CET. Offline by noon.
-
Shame to see coal burning but the OL2 generator fault occurred just when the Sweden interconnector is offline due to upgrading.
-
Insult to injury: OL2 down due to "turbine problems".

A 1,500 MW BWR plant costs less than a 1,000 MW river. And is equally well-controllable.
-
The ability to do load following will rise in value. This will change the entire operating philosophy of #nuclear power in the future. Two-year cycles and 60-80% capacity factors. Twin-turbine BWRs.

102 vuotta sitten, Äetsän voimalaitoksen ja sieltä Poriin kulkevan 70 kV siirtolinjan valmistuttua, W. Rosenlew O.y. hankki Aittaluodon sellutehtaalle yhteensä 4.5 MW edestä sähkökattilatehoa varmistamaan, ettei huonosti säätyvä vesivoima mene hukkaan matalan kysynnän aikana.

@EnergyBot Stupid to let power go to waste but that's what you get when there's no storage capacity in the grid.

Every company should carefully consider this when deciding where to invest in Europe.

#OL3 running at 87.5% power till Sunday due to unspecified inspections.

When the wind doesn't blow, nukes is all we've got. Been this way the whole summer.

1,800 MW wind generation capacity offline due to a single failure.

It should be reasonably straightforward to import the momentary wind generation (% of installed capacity) into the home automation from the Fingrid API and use it to control e.g. the EV charging or electric heating power in real-time.
