But seriously shouldn't there be a condition that they should build for the minimum of safety and any extra consideration like aesthetics should be funded by the community. Looks like East Boston got a shakedown at the costs to the rest of us.

Of course the ratepayers are on the hook for it. Thats how it works right? That's part of the capital spend if you want to blow up the costs with requirements

I'm sure the city had a big say in making them do it tho and if they were getting paid anyways why not. Of course fighting this for ten years and blowing out those costs didn't help either...

I had missed at at first because it was so far away from what I had expected. I was thinking I would be able to see the transformers from the street!

Yeah tall poles in the tent are still pipelines and nimbyism for build right. I went by East Boston substation the other day and I wondered if they needed to make it look like a housing complex. I had almost missed it at first...

Makes you wonder why they aren't already there in Spain for the ancillaries because that's where they
actually make the most sense.

If the levels of pv they have now are causing problems they have no choice but to. They could also procure ancillaries (batteries) but that is a cost too

There are gonna be some pretty sore pv owners though if you make it a requirement if they chose their DC AC ratio to maximize real output... Then any Q you force on the AC side takes away from P

As much as I'm a hater I think this is one of the cases where the cost benefits probably will work out 😂

My read of this situation is that they might also have enough gas plants to do the steady state control (because the spring event made them change the redispatch behavior to more conservative) but the pv ramps are faster than the gas plants can handle
