CLEP and HVDC, using yesterday's technology tomorrow to build a less safe and reliable grid. Sunday, April 20, 2014. America's "Worn Out" yet Underutilized Grid. I just drove home from St. Louis for Easter weekend. Most people probably don’t notice the high voltage distribution and transmission lines. Mike Skelly probably does. He can probably tell us the extra capacity on every line Horizon Wind Energy feeds, the “low hanging fruit” as he calls it. That turbine hasn’t spun for months and months. Serious...

Making solar too cheap to meter. Readers of Power Markets. Are familiar with the concept that large amounts of wind and solar will drive down market prices – the merit order effect. And if wind and solar producers are dependent on those market prices for their income, they will also drive down their own revenues. In other words, the more wind and solar we have, the less value they offer in reducing costs from other sources. In a new paper in. But this concern is predicated on electricity demand not chang...

PaulosAnalysis: Energy Policy, Technology, and Trends. Consulting and writing on progressive energy and climate issues. August 4, 2015. How big a problem is renewable energy curtailment in California? As the use of renewable energy grows we hear occasional reports of curtailment — when wind turbines and solar generators are shut off because they are putting too much power into the grid. Policy in Texas was a response to high levels of congestion in the wind fields, and the potential for huge growth.
