There was significant progress in April 2024 towards lowering natural gas generation in @California_ISO A bunch of graphs in the thread exploring why

This is the kind of data the public needs to see on critical infrastructure that affects everyone. More metrics and data please overall. We must educate others somehow. Well done @maxk

For power, we have reached the solar minima's in the major markets (ERCOT, MISO) and the price action is nuts I'm wondering if we see a big swing to negative prices (like in ISO-NE already) cause of all the fossil that is called on is needed again in ~3 hours #Eclipse2024

If you can't watch the eclipse yourself, you can follow the impact on solar generation and grid operations on our Eclipse Tracker dashboard gridstatus.io/total-solar-ec… Live data starting to come in now
Fun page: gridstatus.io/records. (I think that ERCOT has broken its maximum solar record 8 times so far in 2024.)
Couldn't agree more... keep sending them feature ideas... this is turning into a national resource.

Loving @grid_status - has become a go-to daily website. A product ask - give us an aggregated view of the fuel mix for the whole US.. Would be fun to see..
New Solar record for @ERCOT_ISO - 18,273 MW - a jump of over 1,000 MW from previous record last month. Note: record was about 12,000 MW - one year ago. Wow! gridstatus.io/records/ercot?…
Early this morning, a bridge collapsed outside of Baltimore. While search and rescue was the immediate goal, it appears that measures were also taken to secure the electrical grid. The first place we observed the response was electricity prices spiking in the region

New record for total renewables in ERCOT today. Plus, there wasn't even that much solar. When the record was set at 1:45pm CT, solar was ~6 GW below the 30 day average and 9.5GW below what it was yesterday at that time More info: gridstatus.io/live/ercot?dat…

We just added DART spreads to the nodal price map that @grid_status will be releasing soon. It makes it easy to spot unexpected things happening on the grid. Came across this node in CAISO. I've never seen this pattern in prices before. Does anyone know what's going on?
Wholesale electricity prices are -$60/MWh right now in Northern California. How close are we to a world where retail users can take advantage of negative prices by getting paid to use electricity? Are we even headed in that direction? Graph from @grid_status
If you like wholesale energy markets, maps, and playing with new products, let me know! We're going to be rolling out our new Nodal Price Map pictured below shortly and would love a few testers ahead of the release!

The California grid is using historically little natural gas during the day and evening. That's great 🥳. But there are other parts of this story worth watching too. 🧵
In 2024, natural gas generation on an average April day in California hit a 7-year low. This is a significant trend reversal from what we saw from 2021 to 2023 in CAISO.
Awesome chart from @grid_status . Look at that early evening decline.
In 2024, natural gas generation on an average April day in California hit a 7-year low. This is a significant trend reversal from what we saw from 2021 to 2023 in CAISO.
2024 has seen a big leap in the scale of battery operations in California Battery storage charges during hours with plentiful solar and appears to be displacing natural gas during the morning and evening peaks This is a clear step towards the grid that CAISO has been pursuing
Natural gas prices fell over 50% between 2023 and 2024 yet gas power production in CAISO fell in that same time period to all time lows. Spark spreads (profitability) are not driving macro gas plant behavior anymore. Batteries have changed the rules of the game. Update your…

@maxk @grid_status We also experienced a #VPP event, tonight, too. It lasted from 7:15pm - 8:45pm. We sent 11.9kWh of our stored #solarenergy from our #Powerwalls to support the #TexasGrid. Our sell price topped out at 240c/kWh. @Tesla_GTownTX
@Airbare40 @maxk @grid_status Usually lots of thermal plants down for maintenance in fall and spring.
Ok but what about today? Wind ramp should come in time. But we need some way to ensure that it becomes windy as the sun sets in the summer. On average this is true.
Wholesale energy prices in Texas nearly hit the price cap of $5,000/MWh tonight At the same time, battery discharge peaked at over 2000 MW While that represents only 4% of the total load, it's the highest level ever recorded in ERCOT according to the data we track @grid_status
Power arbitrage is turning into a real business in Texas. Fill your batteries when electricity is cheap, sell when it's expensive, mint money.

Oh, and hat tip to @grid_status for the instantly updated records and great dashboards. They show 5 minute pricing where the ERCOT dashboard only shows 15 minutes. #energytwitter
texas is another state serving as a proving grounds for advanced grid tech and energy storage there are a lot of really great people working hard and smart to make this happen
