Members phkrause Posted January 23 Author Members Share Posted January 23 How ERCOT survived the latest freeze A substation in Dallas on Jan. 16. Photo: Shelby Tauber/Bloomberg via Getty Images Solar power helped keep the lights on during the latest Arctic blast in Texas. Driving the news: Dallas-Fort Worth temperatures dropped below freezing two weekends in a row without major power outages — a relative win for ERCOT, the state's power grid operator. Why it matters: The Texas power grid has been vulnerable to winter and summer weather extremes and has faced intense scrutiny since mass power outages during a historic multiday winter storm in February 2021 contributed to hundreds of deaths. The latest: Last week's freeze was the state's second-longest winter storm in the past 15 years and its third coldest, Woody Rickerson, an ERCOT senior vice president and its COO, said during a public utilities meeting on Thursday. Rickerson said surplus energy from solar generation throughout the storm helped charge batteries and gave operators a chance to correct issues at thermal plants, reports Axios' Jacob Knutson. By the numbers: Energy demand soared as minimum temperatures in Dallas and other Texas cities began to fall to the mid-20s and teens beginning last Sunday. The state saw three consecutive unofficial winter demand records throughout the freeze, with the peak topping out at 78,138 megawatts on Tuesday morning. (ERCOT couldn't measure peak demand during the 2021 storm, and it was likely higher than the new record.) Tuesday's peak demand will likely be the state's third highest, being around 7,370 megawatts lower than the all-time record set in August 2023. Details: Later that afternoon, Texas set a new solar power generation record, with panels contributing 14,835 megawatts to the grid, or around 20% of the total generated power at the time. Wind also accounted for 30% of the power generated last Monday. Yes, but: Conditions during the recent cold front were significantly better compared to those during the historic 2021 winter storm, so the most recent freeze may not be an accurate depiction of how the grid might perform in worse weather. The bottom line: The end of winter is still more than a month away. ps:Once again Solar helps Texas out!!!!!

Members phkrause Posted April 3 Author Members Share Posted April 3 ☀️ Mapped: America's solar leaders Data: Climate Central. Map: Axios Visuals California, Texas and Iowa lead the country in solar and wind power generation, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick and Kavya Beheraj write from a new analysis. Why it matters: Solar and wind power are producing a comparatively small but growing share of America's overall energy supply. 🧮 By the numbers: Solar installations generated nearly 240,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity across the U.S. in 2023, according to the analysis by Climate Central, a climate research nonprofit. That's eight times higher than 2014. Wind generation hit about 425,000 GWh last year — double that of a decade ago. More data ...

Members phkrause Posted April 4 Author Members Share Posted April 4 Texas' wind and solar production By Alex Fitzpatrick, Naheed Rajwani-Dharsi and Kavya Beheraj Data: Climate Central; Note: Includes both utility-scale and small-scale solar generation; Map: Axios Visuals Texas is a top producer of solar power and wind energy in the country, per a new Axios analysis. Why it matters: Energy from wind and solar installations nationwide is expected to outpace coal-fired electricity this year, per Axios Generate's Ben Geman. And, solar power helped keep the lights on during January's Arctic blast in Texas. The big picture: Solar installations across the U.S. generated about eight times the gigawatt-hours of electricity in 2023 than in 2014, per Climate Central, a climate research nonprofit. Wind generation has doubled in the past decade. The two energy sources generated enough electricity last year to power more than 61 million average American homes, Climate Central says. State of play: Coal and natural gas remain the top generators in Texas, though the state has focused on diversifying its portfolio over the years. Texas installed more solar capacity than any other state last year, which likely contributed to a 25% increase in the state's solar energy production between 2022 and 2023. Wind energy generation in the state increased 4% between 2022 and 2023. Renewable energy now accounts for a third of the power generated in Texas, more than any other state. By the numbers: Texas generated significantly more wind energy — around 119,836 GWh — than any other state in 2023. Iowa came in second, with around 41,869 GWh produced. Between the lines: Last year, the Texas Legislature excluded wind and solar from a massive tax break program and passed bills to prop up the fossil fuel industry. But the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden's landmark climate legislation, has spurred production of renewable energy in Texas and across the country. Yes, but: Higher interest rates, inflation and supply chain issues are spoiling the financial math of some alt-energy investments. In Texas, January's low wind speeds contributed to a 22% drop in power generation by the state's wind farms compared to the same month in 2022. What we're watching: How the wind and solar boom will help Texas in the summer.
