Another funny demand chart in New England today. Always funny to see what happens on days where a heat wave breaks🔌💡

One of the funniest demand charts for ISO-NE I’ve ever seen. Watch that heat wave break🔌💡

I’m sorry New England but the amount of investment our wires are going to need to cope with growing load and heat waves…I don’t think power bills are coming down anytime soon 🔌💡

Wowza, throw some oil on that

Whoa ISO-NE overshot the forecast and has broken last year’s peak load (24,310MW) with 24,340MW right now 🔌💡

ISO-NE will likely surpass 2024 peak load tomorrow. Looks like July 16th, at 24,310MW was last year’s peak load. Tomorrow should hit 25,310MW.

PJM passing last year’s peak load today is wild. Peak summer load was 152GW in 2024 and 147GW in 2023. We’re already at 157.4GW and the true peak isn’t even here yet 🔌💡

Did the Maine earthquake do something funny to any load in New England or is the RT price falling to 0 just from more solar than expected 🔌💡

Glad to see nuclear production is creeping back up in ISO-NE. There must have been maintenance since production dropped to ~1GW in early October. Anyone know if it was Seabrook or Millstone that had maintenance? 🔌💡

You know it’s a nice day in New England when ~1/3 of mid day demand is supplied by BTM solar.

ISO-NE is burning that oil. Really glad we haven’t expanded those natural gas pipelines… 🔌💡

I enjoy being able to tell the weather based on the Shape of the ISO-NE demand curve. You could tell 12/11 was not going to be as nice a day as 12/13.

You can tell it’s getting cold when we start burning coal in New England. Will be keeping an eye on increased use of coal and oil generations in the coming weeks

ISO-NE predicts the electric system won’t be too strained this winter. Warmer predicted temps are helping. It’ll be interesting to see how the inventoried energy program works this winter
