New Jersey Governor Orders State To Accelerate Solar, Storage And Virtual Power Plants
By Robert Walton of Utility Dive
On her first day in office Tuesday, New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed executive orders seeking to freeze electricity cost increases, issue ratepayer relief in the form of bill credits, and increase distributed energy resources, including utility-scale solar and battery storage.
One order directed the state's Board of Public Utilities to ensure bill credits by July 1 and to “consider pursuing a pause, abeyance, or modification of the schedule governing any proceedings in which electric distribution utilities seek approvals for rate increases or cost recoveries.” It also ordered the board to publish a study within 180 days of how to “modernize” the traditional electric utility business model, including opportunities to make utility revenue models “less dependent on capital spending.”
Another order focused on growing the state's electricity suppl...

The facility is the country's largest power station by output and is situated on the banks of Lake Macquarie, north of Sydney in New South Wales (NSW).
In an announcement to the ASX (pdf), Origin said the move would reduce risks to system security, highlighted by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) in its recent Transition Plan for System Security.
That report warned that, in NSW alternative energy assets required to “maintain system security are not currently scheduled to be operational before the announced retirement date of Eraring Power Station.”

Appalachian NatGas Output Faces "Intense Losses" As Arctic Blast Drives Power Grid Risk Higher
The Lower 48 has entered the depths of Northern Hemisphere winter. A series of Arctic cold blasts, combined with fears of a 1996-style blizzard stretching from Texas through the Mid-Atlantic and into the Northeast, has sent U.S. natural gas futures quite literally vertical, marking the largest weekly spike on record (that's if gains hold through Friday).
But the next focus now turns to Appalachian Basin gas production, which sits at the center of severe winter reliability risk just as demand surges across the eastern half of the country.
January 20-21, 1985 low temperatures across Lower 48.
4.1°F average low temperature on the 21st. That's it.
