Even more energy suppliers are short of capital. Ofgem needs to toughen up (The Guardian)
|
|
|
With almost one in five firms breaching targets, the watchdog's new get-tough approach on capital levels seems to be anything butWhen half the nation's retail energy suppliers, including Bulb with 1.7 million customers, failed during the gas crisis of 2021-22, the embarrassed regulator, Ofgem, decided it should probably pay more attention to companies' balance sheets. Better late than never.The cost of mopping up the corporate calamities added up to £2.7bn, or £94 on every household's energy bill, calculated the National Audit Office. Continue reading......

The Grid Will Hold - Maybe - But The Bill Will Rise
Authored by Terry L. Headley via RealClearEnergy,
Americans are about to pay a lot more for electricity anyway — not because the grid fails, but because of how we now power it.
As another deep winter cold snap presses across much of the eastern United States, grid operators are doing what they always do in these moments: watching reserve margins, issuing conservation guidance, leaning on dispatchable generation, and quietly hoping nothing large trips offline at the wrong hour.
If history is a guide, the system will muddle through. It usually does. But survival isn't the same thing as success. And it's certainly not the same thing as affordability.
Even if there is no blackout, no emergency load shedding, and no headline-grabbing crisis, this weather event will still deliver a financial shock — one that will show up first in gas markets, then in wholesale power prices, and finally, months later, in the electric bills of households and bu...

"Communism Is A Sh*tty Deal": Cuba's Power Grid Descends Further Into Blackout Nightmare
Cuba is facing a severe and worsening energy crisis driven by a tightening U.S. blockade, part of President Trump's gunboat diplomacy across the Caribbean region, as reported Sunday, with conditions now deteriorating further as the island's power grid appears to be imploding under strain, resulting in blackouts lasting up to 20 hours per day.
"Cuba's electrical system has completely collapsed in Havana after more than 20 hours of blackouts," Venezuelan-born political commentator Eduardo Menoni wrote on X.
Menoni said this widespread blackout for most of the day could last for weeks, as there is no known timeframe for when the grid will be fixed.
He added, "Cuba's electrical system has completely collapsed in Havana after. Communism is A SHITTY DEAL."

"Sleep Tight, America. We Got This": NatGas And Coal Power Plants Prevented Grid Collapse During Historic Winter Blast
Submitted by Criterion Research President James Bevan,
Winter Storm Fern's Arctic blast from January 21-26 provided clear data on generation dispatch patterns during extreme cold weather events. The storm stressed multiple U.S. power grids, such as PJM and ERCOT and demonstrated the operational characteristics of different generation types under peak winter demand conditions.
As the cold rolled in - Criterion's pipeline data showed huge increases in deliveries to gas-fired power plants. That included dozens of active plants hitting all-time highs, along with a huge amount of peaking capacity firing online to help keep the grid stable.
We analyzed the top 20 interstate gas power meters by net change versus seven days ago to see what meter stations ramped up the most over that time.
Thirteen of the top 20 meters had zero or near-zero baselines 7 days ago, indi...
