We get a lot of weird advertisements on the DC metro, but I had no idea Harry Potter fanfic was remunerative enough to fund an ad campaign

RTO expansion presentation from August, nothing special, more of a guide doc for their new members (which can definitely be useful!, but it wasn't some big interesting thing haha)

thanks google, I'll be sure to check out the Electric Digital Authority Market that doesn't exist after I'm done reading about the Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM) that I was searching for something on

this is such a weirdly specific fuckup

You and the guy she told you not to worry about

you would need sustained astronomically high capacity prices to lower total bills by 20% with ~24 GW (after ELCC adjustment) of DR between the two largest markets given everything that goes into a bill

upstream, all-in prices in past years are useful to get a handle on wholesale costs 🔌💡

super good SPP presentation from the other day on their integrated transmission plan, load growth, and the push for a 765kV backbone 🔌💡

Saw this the other day and some *extremely* back of the envelope math got me to potentially ~1M barrels/day of demand destruction for a year of 60% ICE sales (2024) to 3% (2030), which is approaching 1% of current global demand on its own

Gonna be interesting

the amount of demand interconnecting into your local utility from a large campus is not CEII, it's just an abuse of that categorization for business reasons
