Happy 20GW of solar in MISO day to those who celebrate. Thanks @gridstatus.io for tracking this stuff.
man, early days of CHPE have kind of been a disaster first a substation on the HQ side, now an underwater section of the cable in New York
NYISO energy prices spiking high during today's heatwave, seemingly thanks to a transmission line outage and emergency repairs on a gas compressor station when gas flows are already constrained (thanks @gridstatus.io for the real-time visibility)
The loss of California's battery crown has been greatly exaggerated, if you measure actual unit capability The EIA reports not just nameplate MW, but also MWh. Using this value, California's installed grid-battery duration is greater than the sum of the next two states, Texas and Arizona #energysky
Couple of recent renewables observations First, MISO has come from behind to soundly take the lead on peak solar output from PJM. These are the two largest markets in North America, and interesting test cases given quite different geographic attributes compared to early movers CAISO and ERCOT 🔌💡

Datacenter load growth has been top of mind, but the most rapid demand expansion over the last decade was in ERCOT's Far West Weather Zone This quadrupling of demand started before AI, and predates Texas' spurt of crypto growth. Instead, it's anchored in a traditional Texas industry: oil and gas 🔌💡
SPP's expanded over the the interconnection DC tie line with the first day-ahead market clear that includes SPP West (SWPW) Day one sees regular congestion spreads, with decent consistency in price impact across locations in the newly-RTO territory. Alt text has more #energysky
