PJM fiddles while grid sickens
The States and Utilities are creating this growing threat of catastrophic blackouts, so only they can solve it. PJM’s efforts are commendable, but they are really just fiddling with a…
Aussie Energy & Climate Minister: Don’t Expect 3.4GW of New Renewables to Provide Grid Stability
Aussie Energy & Climate Minister: “I don’t see we can put all the pressure on Renewables for Stability and Reliability”, blames Climate Change for Hot Summers.
IEA: Grid “Lack of ambition” Endangering the Green Energy Revolution
According to the IEA, “the world must add or replace 80 million km of grids by 2040, equal to all grids globally today, to meet national climate targets and support…
Electric Grid Reliability: Texas vs. EPA
In the meantime, just the possibility that EPA will enact such sweeping regulations will slow investment in new power generation that all U.S. power grids need.
The electric grid needs good failure mode analysis
Uncontrolled blackouts may be unpredictable, but they can still be planned for to some degree.
New Zealand Grid
New Zealand’s electricity grid largely relies on renewable energy sources, primarily hydro and geothermal, with a smaller contribution from wind energy. The grid faces challenges similar to Australia’s, including issues…

Grid asks factories to use less energy next winter under blackout prevention plan
This move is, to all intents and purposes, rationing. And the reason is quite clear – the closure of nearly all of our coal power capacity.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Mark Christie: Power Grid is Facing ‘Dire Consequences’ Due to Coal & Gas Retirements
The problem is the subtraction of coal and gas and other dispatchable resources which are the ones we need during this transition to keep the lights on.
FERC commissioners tell senators of major grid reliability challenges, with some blaming markets
There is a “looming reliability crisis in our electricity markets,” FERC Commissioner James Danly said.
Electrified Compressors and the Great Texas Blackout (a threat to grid reliability everywhere)
But gradually, compressors were electrified so slowly that, to follow the parable, they, like the frog, didn’t notice what was about to happen.
Grid Capacity Issues Threaten Net Zero
But the scheme has been thrown into doubt after the National Grid said it cannot connect the facility to the electricity network until 2031 at the earliest, when capacity upgrades…
How could the Aurora Borealis affect energy grids when renewables are added to the mix?
When you have solar, wind and battery storage, it has to be connected to the grid through what we call inverters, or solid-state power converters
We Must Demand a Demonstration Project of a Mainly Renewables-Based Electrical Grid
Nobody would be happier than me to see a demonstration project built that showed that wind and solar could provide reliable electricity at low cost.
Ross Clark: The National Grid is falling apart thanks to Net Zero
We’re left with demand management to keep the lights on – rewarding the rich at the expense of the poor, and all using taxpayer funds
US Grid Needs Fossil Fuels, Not Wind
This destroys the idea that the wind is always blowing somewhere, and that all you have to do is distribute surplus power around the country in order to meet demand.
Save America’s Grid!
It is the mad rush to replace reliable coals and nuclear power plants with weather dependent wind and solar power. This simply does not work and we are beginning to…
National Grid warns Britons of blackouts on ‘really cold’ evenings
