#Eversource replaced my electric meter #today with a smart meter. Ref: https://www.eversource.com/residential/account-billing/smart-meters
During a normal electric outage our #Enphase #solar storage system kicks in automatically so we don't even notice, but while they were replacing the meter everything had to be shut off completely for safety, so our power went out, just for a few seconds since the guy doing the work knows his stuff.
It took about 20 minutes after that for the Enphase system to come fully back online. D'oh. -
#Eversource recently sent me a letter notifying me that they'd miscalculated the amount they owed me from the #ConnectedSolutions program for last summer and I'd be receiving a second check in a few weeks for the difference.
The check just came and it's for… $8.27. 🤨
Quite a let-down, given that the first check was for $1,047.
(ConnectedSolutions is a #Massachusetts program where people with home storage batteries are paid to let the utility pull power during high demand periods.)

1 hour and 50 minutes on hold because EverSource does not hire enough people. You are told by their automated system that if you press 1 on your phone’s keypad, they will call you back, but that is a lie because I did that Friday morning and never received a call back.

Eversource is both my electric and gas company, and they’re dumb as f*ck — why?
My gas meter is outside. They themselves put it there two years ago. Yet they keep telling me I need to schedule an appointment to have my ‘inside’ meter inspected, even though it doesn’t exist. Last year, I had them come out to inspect this imaginary meter. Now they’re claiming this is my last notice to have it inspected or they’ll shut off my service.

Hey #Massholes: if you are an #EV driver you can get into the #Eversource managed charging program now.
I hear #NationalGrid has one too, but mine is this one so this is the one I know about.

#NewHampshire said "No!" to #HydroQuebec #Massachusetts scheme!
Massachusetts to continue talks with #HydroQuébec for #NorthernPass project
Historic $680M electricity project was 1st approved in January, but rejected a week later by New HampshireThe Canadian Press · Posted: Feb 16, 2018
"Despite a rejection in New Hampshire, Massachusetts will continue negotiations on a conditional basis with Hydro-Québec and its American partner #Eversource for the Northern Pass project.
"Hydro-Quebec is counting on the Northern Pass to supply Massachusetts for 20 years, starting in 2020, as part of a historic contract signed with the state in January."It is estimated that the #CrownCorporation could pocket $10 billion in revenue if an agreement is reached.
"The project was rejected by the New Hampshire Site Review Board, which refused to grant a licence essential to Northern Pass's completion in the state.
"The Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs says talks on the project could end by March 27.
"In the meantime, conditional negotiations may be conducted for another project, the #NewEnglandCleanEnergyConnect [#NECEC] , which would be carried out by Hydro-Quebec and #CentralMainePower."

Hey #Massholes: cheaper electric rate if you have a #heatpump for winter heat. I just found the #Eversource form page today.
A friend got an email that they were auto-enrolled, but I was not. You should check.
-
If you think my electric bill is nonsense, wait until you see my gas bill (natural gas). My usage is less than $5, but they charge me over $30 just to deliver the gas.
It really does suck that you can’t shop around for electric and gas delivery. You can only change the supplier — not the deliverer.
-
In the United States, you can choose who supplies your electricity (the supplier), but you cannot choose your electric company (the deliverer). So, no matter how energy-efficient you are, the delivery fee is where they really get you, and you cannot escape that nonsense.
My usage is so low that it costs about $40, but the delivery fee varies between $60+.

Here's today's #TechIsShitDispatch, my ongoing series of threads demonstrating that the more you interact with tech, the more shitty tech you encounter, and if you look hard enough you'll probably discover that you encounter shitty tech that shouldn't be shitty every single day of your life.
Today we've got new shitty teck from #AirBNB, #SalemStateUniversity, and #Eversource, and an update on previously reported #Synology shitty tech.

Last night’s nothing brought down a huge tree branch at five in the morning, knocking out our building’s power and blocking our only exit. For all the complaining we do about Eversource, they did have power restored in two hours, and the tree disappeared in six.
(Obligatory “don’t go near downed wires.”)

After being sent in circles for an answer to a simple eligibility question about the residential #ConnectedSolutions #DemandResponse program by #MassSave and #Eversource, including MassSave.com sending me to Eversource.com then Eversource sending me to dead end, I sleuthed and found that they’ve outsourced customer support to energyhub.com. Waiting on an answer now six days from inquiry from #EnergyHub.

Hello #BostonMA #Eversource electricity customers! Is your bill late this month?
My billing period ends every 5th of the month, and I usually got an email about my bill a day or two later. However, I haven't received an email for October, and I just checked the web site and the most recent bill there is the one ending September 5.
Anyone else with this problem, or just me?

Networked geothermal power could change cities:
‘Every building sits on a thermal asset’
While temperatures above ground fluctuate throughout the year, the ground stays a stable temperature,
meaning that it is humming with #geothermal #energy that engineers can exploit.“Every building sits on a thermal asset,” said Cameron Best, director of business development at Brightcore Energy in New York, which deploys geothermal systems.
⭐️“I really don’t think there’s any more efficient or better way to heat and cool our homes.”⭐️And now the big utilities are beginning to take a good hard look at that system.
A couple of months ago #Eversource #Energy commissioned the US’s first 🔸networked geothermal neighbourhood 🔸operated by a utility, in Framingham, Massachusetts.Pipes run down boreholes 600-700ft (about 180-215 metres) deep,
where the temperature of the rock is consistently 55F (13C).
A mixture of water and propylene glycol (a food additive that works here as an antifreeze) pumps through the piping,
absorbing that geothermal energy,
then flows to 31 residential and five commercial buildings, where fully electric #heat #pumps use the liquid to either heat or cool a space.If deployed across the country, these geothermal systems could go a long way in helping decarbonise buildings, which are responsible for about a third of total greenhouse gas emissions in the US.
Once a system is in place, buildings can draw heat from water pumped from below their foundations,
instead of burning natural gas piped in from afar.
🔹Utilities use the same equipment to deploy networked geothermal as they do for gas lines,
and even the same kind of pipes
– they are just circulating fluid instead of gas.♦️The networks don’t need special geology to operate, so they can be set up almost anywhere.
The project in Framingham, then, could be the start of something big.To scale up, a geothermal loop such as Framingham’s might connect to an adjacent neighbourhood, and that one to another.
“In the end, what we would like is if the gas utilities become #thermal #utilities,” said Audrey Schulman, executive director of the nonprofit climate-solutions incubator #HEETlabs
(a spin-off of the climate nonprofit HEET, which began pitching the idea to Eversource and other utilities in 2017).
“Each individual, shared loop can be interconnected, like Lego blocks, to grow bigger and bigger -

Just had the power go out briefly 3x and then come back. Not sure if they’re doing maintenance today or it’s just because of the rain moving through, but I hope it clears up later.
I have a coding interview I’m going to try and I kinda need power for that.

We have #NationalGrid gas leaking to explosive levels into #Eversource electric confined underground spaces; they know it & the #CityOfNewton knows it (as should other cities & towns); in fact, it’s public knowledge; but everyone is in a conspiracy of silence, otherwise we could solve it before the next explosion and someone gets hurt or killed again. I’m saying this without fear of getting sued because the gas industry wouldn’t dare - I have the data; they know it. That’s why I’m tagging them.

Whelp. Can't deposit this check electronically because look how #Eversource signed the check and the app can't tell there's a signature. 🤦♀️
Going to have to try in person or get a new check.

"This gas utility will heat customers' home without #gas
This spring, #Massachusetts-based #Eversource is set to switch on #decarbonized #heating and #cooling for 140 customers in 37 buildings in Framingham, Mass., including a low-to-moderate income apartment complex, single-family homes, a fire station and a school building."

Until today there has been no official acknowledgment by the #CityOfNewtonMA that the gas company, #NationalGrid, and it’s leaking pipes in close proximity to underground high voltage #Eversource electric infrastructure, could have any causal relationship to the #WalnutStreetGasExplosions
-
I found an explosive level of gas (6%) this evening in an #Eversource electric utility hole, fed by a leaking 12” cast iron #NationalGrid gas main.
This is at the same location as a June 20, 2022 explosion which injured a worker, at an #Eversource substation.
This substation was initially implicated in the 4/6/23 #WalnutStreetGasExplosion causal chain.
This is directly across from #CityOfNewtonMA City Hall, next to the #NewtonFreeLibrary, parking lot on Homer Street.

Yesterday, in front of the Newton Education Center, 100 Walnut Street, #CityOfNewtonMA, where #Eversource said then retracted, that the April 6, #WalnutStreetGasExplosion was triggered, I found #NationalGrid gas leaking into an #Eversource utility hole (toward middle of the street) near the flooded storm drain in foreground. Gas was steady at 6,000 ppm (3000x ambient). On a prior visit it exceeded 10,000 ppm.
Any gas leaking into high voltage buried electric infrastructure = unacceptable risk.
