This is a great piece by @daanwalt3r.bsky.social, which makes much more elegantly a point I often repeat: having gas plants on standby is just not very expensive. And you can save money by not using the gas plants most of the time.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

Negatieve prijzen zijn hier en zullen blijven. Sturing van verbruik en injectie moeten standaard worden.
Hoe gaat u het beste om met negatieve injectietarieven bij zonnepanelen?

De eerste elektriciteitscontracten met negatieve injectietarieven dienen zich aan. Wat is het effect van die negatieve prijzen? En hoe kan u inspelen op de eigen stroomproductie van uw zonnepanelen? ‘Dé gouden oplossing bestaat niet.’

Go go Baltics!
My 2cts on the significance of the 'Baltic Synchronisation':
"Decisions to synchronise and desynchronise are shaped by both geopolitical and geo-economic relations -
and shape those relations going forward"

The real reason Russia wants to leave the Baltics in the dark
Some say Moscow is trying to show the Baltics are unprepared for the transition off the Soviet-era grid.

Exactly
Oft reapeated, but not correct. Building lots of renewables only reduces emissions if it leads to *burning less* fossil fuels. Emissions scale w/how much we burn, not how much fossil power plant capacity is sitting on the grid. If remaining capacity is used rarely, emissions can still fall sharply.
Just a reminder that "building lots of RE" only reduces emissions if it leads to shutting down fossil energy, which of course, isn't guaranteed.
A good example of why we need more deliberate supply-side climate policies paired with a RE build out.

We knew this, but it’s amazing to see it so clearly in this Norwegian data:
1: distance traveled by fuel; EVs (blue) are a sizeable chunk in 2023
2: energy use by fuel; EVs (yellow) are a barely noticeable sliver in 2023
Electrification doesn’t just shift, it massively reduces energy consumption.

Is there an 'energy' feed here that's interesting to follow?
