• "ISO New England (ISO-NE) gives some natural gas-fired power plants an unfair advantage in its capacity and operating reserves markets by failing to account for the possibility they may be unable to run at times because of a lack of fuel…

New England Is Facing Blackouts This Winter: Grid Operator

Commission Decision Regarding Procurement Results, No Later than November 1, 2022

•      The wholesale electric pricing market, the key guide in comparing pricing offers from wind, solar, battery and transmission developments, is in chaos, completely…

  Grid scale wind and solar developments promised ratepayers relief from high electricity costs. They lied and now those politically enhanced developments are reaping windfalls from the wholesale market that their developments purposely manipulated. This is on top of generous subsidies and favorable government policies that grossly enrich them at the expense of every single ratepayer and taxpayer. Such profits are criminal as the intent to steal money from the system was apparent from…

• The region would likely require significant dispatchable resources, such as natural gas or stored fuels, to support periods when variable resources are unavailable.
• Battery storage systems may have difficulty sufficiently charging under predicted system demand curves.
• The retirement of the region’s remaining…

   If I were governor of Maine, I would offer a deal to Charlie Baker of Massachusetts that could make NECEC the best for the both state electricity consumers The word on the street is Massachusetts' utilities will be paying 5 and half cents per kilowatt-hour for the electricity supply from Hydro-Quebec which is  4 cents per kilowatt-hour less than the ISO-NE wholesale market price, meaning the utility receives 4 cents per kilowatt-hour by reselling the Hydro-Quebec purchased power to the…

       WCSH doesn't understand the role solar, and wind plays in corrupting the grid, especially a grid that depends on natural gas-fired plants to backstop solar and wind. The global demand for natural gas and oil has reached the shores of Maine and because natural gas remains the dominant fuel for electricity generation in New England, the price of electricity mimics the price of natural gas.

Wholesale power prices averaged $95.99 per megawatt-hour (MWh)¹ in the Real-Time Energy Market in August 2022, up 96% compared to the previous year. Day-Ahead Energy Market averages rose to $99.55/MWh, up 101% from August 2021.

Thanks Governor Mills.

“Although many may think the New England region is immune to an energy crisis past summer, winter peak demand is the issue.”

“New Englanders are largely unaware that the light at the end of the clean energy transition tunnel is not a train, it’s a blackout.”

•               Cheap energy is historically man's best approach to sheltering from changing weather. Cheap energy depended on a competitive market structure, a level playing field where the best performing, least cost energy resources advanced to utilization.

[Editor’s Note: Renewable energy being compulsively imposed on us by corporatists, ideologues and special interests without concern for impacts is yielding energy rationing.]

    Whether it’s a hot Colorado summer or a cold United Kingdom winter, the misery of “green” policies becomes an everyday reality as hapless consumers are denied access to energy. When state lawmakers and energy providers…
