Asthana at OPSI: ‘We need capacity’ (Mid-East Electric Grid At Risk)
PJM ^ | 10/22/2024 | Staff

“I feel more concerned today than I did two years ago about resource adequacy,” he said Monday. “Load is growing much faster than we had projected then, which even back then was an eye-popping set of numbers.”

PJM’s recent capacity auction, in which PJM secures commitments from generators to provide electricity in the future, produced higher than usual prices. Those prices have thus far served their purpose of incentivizing some generators to delay retirement and others to consider investments in new generation.

“I haven’t seen any forecast of load that allows me to rest and say we’re good,” he said Monday. “We need capacity – a lot of capacity.”

But load promises to grow at increasing rates, policies continue to pressure retirement of existing thermal generation, building of flexible gas generators has slowed in the current environment, and permitting and supply chain issues continue to hamper the construction of renewable projects, he said.

OPSI = Overwhelming post-splenectomy infection

In case anyone was wondering.

I don’t know what the hell Athsana or whatever is. A respiratory disease maybe?

It tells It tells you several things when one party has:you several things when one party has:

It tells you several things when one party has:

Academia

The corporate media

Far more money - more billionaires and more of Wall Street

Big Tech

Hollywood/the entertainment industry

The federal bureaucracy

All in their favor and they’re STILL losing.

Just think about how crappy your policies would have to be to be losing with all that in your favor. How much more could the deck possibly be stacked in your favor?
