"Get ready for the lights AND heat to go out" -via @nypost

"Québec last week avoided a blackout, despite the frigid Arctic cold snap, by importing electricity from New York. But it may be out of luck next time, along with the Empire State itself, thanks to the green rush to kill reliable sources of power."
The #CLCPA mandates that 70% of New York’s power come from renewables by 2030, and 100% carbon-free sources by 2040. But, New York’s doesn't have to lose reliable generating capacity to serve load when #solar or #wind plants can’t deliver.

I distinguish applications of VoLL btwn: (1) cost-benefit analysis for centralized reliability-enhancing infrastructure investments & (2) decentralized demand rationing during electric supply shortages (like what’s discussed in @California_ISO this week).
Power outages resulting from supply shortage can often be mitigated by demand-side solutions like dynamic pricing or demand-response programs (and we need more of them!), which only need loose connection to VoLL estimation
