Britain′s biggest community solar farm forced to shut over grid overload fears (The Guardian)

Timing of Devon switchoff 'could not be worse', says board, as members face an estimated £2m in lost revenue Britain's biggest community solar project has been forced to shut for the duration of its first summer by the government's energy system operator to avoid overloading the local grid with renewable energy.The north Devon solar farm was ordered to shut weeks before record high temperatures across Europe led to power supply warnings, due to concerns that the large amount of rooftop solar in the area could destabilise the power grid by triggering a “thermal overload”.

The Real Grid Crisis Is A State Policy Problem Dressed Up As A Market Failure
Authored by Todd Snitchler via RealClearEnergy,
There's a critique of PJM making the rounds: PJM - the largest grid operator in the United States - is too big. There are too many state interests at play, and PJM doesn't have the ability to function cohesively or quickly enough. FERC even scheduled a governance technical conference this month to examine whether PJM's stakeholder structure can move fast enough to respond to demand. The reality is that policy disagreements at the state level are dressed up as a procedural defect with the grid, opening the way for critics to point their reforms at the wrong target.
Disagreements at the state level are just what you'd expect, pitting those that generate enough power to export against those that depend on imports. Pennsylvania is PJM's energy workhorse, shipping out roughly a quarter of everything it generates. Illinois, West Virginia, and Michigan also produce more t...

The Day The Grid Failed: The Seventeen Minutes That Exposed The Fragile Foundations Of Modern Civilization
Authored by Milan Adams via Preppgroup,
This is a fictionalized scenario exploring a hypothetical grid collapse.
By the time the first official statement reached the public, the statement itself no longer mattered. Television networks were already off the air across much of the continent, mobile networks had fragmented into isolated pockets, and the internet - once assumed to be nearly indestructible - had become a collection of disconnected islands separated by an invisible wall of silence. Rumors traveled farther than verified information, speculation outran evidence, and for the first time in generations millions of people discovered how completely their understanding of the world depended on a stream of data they had always taken for granted. Historians would later argue over the precise moment the crisis began, but among engineers and emergency planners there was remarkably little di...

Europe's Utility Sector Is 'On The Brink Of A New Regime'
Authored by Gregor Morris via BondVigilantes.com,
Europe's utilities sector is on the brink of a generational shift. After more than a decade of subdued demand, the system is being forced to modernize, rebuild and expand. Electrification, datacentres, renewable integration and ageing infrastructure are converging into what can only be described as unprecedented capital expenditure programmes across the sector.
Simplistically, the bullish narrative is a convergence of rising electricity demand, visible investment pipelines, increase in regulated investments and improving returns. However, the same forces driving growth are also set to reshape balance sheets, funding needs, and elevate execution risk.
A step change in capital intensity
The scale of investment required is extraordinary and though we have seen some large equity cheques, the vast majority of investment need will be funded by debt issuance. The European power system ...
