Bitcoin Mining & The Electricity Grid: A Quiet Savior
Authored by Joakim Book via The Mises Institute,
With all eyes on the winter storm raging through America last month, a silent hero was working in the background to keep the lights on.
And I don't primarily mean the emergency workers or the teams of electricians, foresters, and engineers that keep the power lines up and ice-free; these guys operate very much in the foreground, the public well aware of their critical work.
Before and during winter storms, the electricity supply becomes strained and household demand spikes—think space heaters, heat pumps requiring more juice, more lights turned on, and the natural gas system requiring more electricity for ordinary functions.
In Econ101 lingo, the grid is hit with a simultaneous leftward shift in supply and rightward shift in demand, explaining why electricity prices and natural gas prices shot up in recent days.
Most people think of electricity (or “energy” more broadly) as a stati...

India Explores Gas Power Boost To Stabilize Grid During Peak Hours
By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com,
India considers boosting the run rates of its gas-fired power plants during evening peak hours to support the grid amid the surge in renewable power generation, India's Power Secretary Pankaj Agarwal said on Friday.
“For the last three years we have been studying whether gas plants can run for eight hours in the evening and remain shut during the rest of the day,” Agarwal said at a meeting with power plant executives, as carried by Reuters.
India has reduced in recent years its gas-fired power fleet from 25 gigawatts to 20 GW, due to idled plants for years that are now unfit to operate.
However, the country, where coal remains king but renewables rapidly expand, looks to keep the 20 GW gas-fired capacity to provide flexible baseload capacity to offset the intermittency of solar and wind power.
India is expected to import about 29 million tons of LNG this year, while its goal...
