ISO-NE and NYISO did make exigent circumstances filings with FERC on Friday 🔌💡
Basically saying "we need to do something right now, please approve, even if it's not perfect" (snipping ISO-NE)

Just to toss some MOU thoughts on here;
It costs less than 0.1c/kwh to make power at the existing Churchill Falls site.
Power from new hydro builds will likely be 10-12c/kwh. New nuclear is suggested to be 16c/kwh.
Rate payers on the island will get none of the 0.1c power. That's bad.

The paradigm shifts on a winter peaking grid.
All those heat pumps need a lot of electricity when it’s cold.
Value of solar declines, and wind might not be there when you need it. People point their finger at gas when it doesn’t perform, without being honest about what makes it the keystone

The Growing Challenge of Winter On the Grid
Due to electric cooling, summer is generally the time of peak demand in the most of the US. As electrification continues, many areas project narrowed or dual peaks between seasons, while some are expected to flip to winter peaking entirely.

They intend to work on bringing it to final investment decision.

Our helpful robots take data from NS and NL, so the gap is from a period of NS reporting going down.
We are hugging our local maximum of ~380 mw right now, getting up to 360 ish.
This is as good as it gets, for now

I cannot say this enough- Jesse is the most correct person I've ever met
How do we make nuclear the anchor for flexibility and firm capacity?
Here is my basic proposal.
Let’s start with a 350MW Gen IV reactor. This is basically the Natrium in round numbers, but we could use others, and we can adjust the ratios of turbine / core etc to suit the system.
*ANY* ~500C+ works
