@JAndersonEnergy They've been pretty solid this week except for Wed 6/10 when temps came in hotter than forecast. That day even had +1.2 GW more BTM solar than expected, so the forecast was really off. Another big test today.

Regulation and reserves are expensive today in NY

@PolicyEngineer RGGI is even higher in 2026

OK I did it. I tracked over 1,000 shots for SGA, Brunson, Harden, Spida and Wemby in the playoffs. Here's how often they fell: https://t.co/0Vgr3ibDyP

LCOE is such a flawed metric, its use probably does more harm than good. Whatever small marginal value it provides as a simple way to compare resources is more than wiped out by the confusion it creates from being completely disconnected with how power markets actually work.

@JAndersonEnergy For sure - very interested to see schedules and how NYISO handles next week's mini heat wave

Outage season

@PolicyEngineer Today's wheel...

[Ken Galarneau @krgalarneau]

@PolicyEngineer This is just testing but look out for more today - DAM scheduled ~1,225 MW in afternoon. Once commercial, we'll likely see this dynamic often.

Pretty brutal game plan by Boston defensively on the high ball screen. Maybe they felt like PHI took so long in GM1 to figure it out Boston assumed they’d get away with it again? (And yes, when Queta came up late in game he got torched by Maxey) But to give Maxey and VJ the same look makes it pretty easy for them to just walk into a 3.

Hard to overstate the role shale gas has played in lowering inflation and spurring American industry. Were we a net importer today as forecast in the 2000s, domestic nat gas & power would be at multiples of current pricing, serving as a huge tax on individuals and companies.

Jayson Tatum - Right Achilles Repair - QUESTIONABLE

Strong solar day at NYISO today. Might be time to break it out separate from Other Renewables.

This CODINGTN-MONTFRL 115kv constraint is making bitcoin mining pretty cheap at Greenidge today

[Ken Galarneau @krgalarneau]

Per usual, HQ is pulling 1 GW from NY

(4/4)

Pretty strong RT demand performance leading to a messy morning in NY market

(1/4)

[Ken Galarneau @krgalarneau]

115kv and 230kv constraints are most active today on the system

Nothing too crazy in the load or fuel mix, though wind has been coming down last couple hours

[Ken Galarneau @krgalarneau]

As always in RT at NYISO, regulation and reserves tell the story
