In filings submitted to the New York state regulatory authority, other prominent offshore wind developers, such as Norway's energy major Equinor and British oil major BP, have officially requested a staggering 54% increase in the price of electricity generated at three planned offshore wind farms.

Author notes supply chain volatility for the increased price for offshore wind as well as cancelled projects. Since, this comes from OilPrice.com, idk if I believe the authors analysis but prices did go up and projects were cancelled.

During several days of the heat wave this summer ... ERCOT was obliged to request that Texans cut back on their use of electricity during the late afternoon and early evening hours [to avoid blackouts]

The problem is that Texas has invested heavily in wind and solar power... [and] during several days in August, the wind was not blowing enough for Texas’s wind farms to operate at optimal capacity. At the same time, as the sun went down, Texas’s solar arrays gradually stopped providing power as well.

TX is in a unique place since their grid is not interconnected.

Coal India on Friday reported a 13.2% rise in its coal production last month at 52.3 million tonne (MT) of coal in August on a year-on-year basis. In August 2022, the public sector major produced 46.2 MT.

At a growth rate of 13.2% per year, Coal India will double their August production in 5 years. That's an insane rate of growth. (~100MT by the end of 2029) Anyone know what India is doing to curb coal extraction?

The cable will run from the 49.9MW Willows Green Solar Farm near Felsted will the built mainly under roads for 5.3km east of the proposed solar farm to Braintree Substation near Galleys Corner.

At full capacity, 50MW is enough to power ~60,000 homes! That's enough for nearly 10% of all of Essex. Glad these are getting connected even though there's plenty of North Sea oil and gas. UK! UK! UK!

After a summer of no service, the Adirondack Amtrak line is set to resume service out of Plattsburgh on Sept. 11.

About fuckin time!

...and a 550-mile high-voltage transmission line planned to deliver the power to Arizona

Well done NM! It's great to see a project navigate so many miles of the American interior successfully. Kudos

To cut emissions from operations, Equinor says that both rigs have been revamped with energy-saving procedures and work methods.

I wonder if the author thought this was silly as it was being written

New coal mine? Approved.

Kazahkstan Number One!

Growth in german wind capacity is slowing. Soo... then the plan is to keep on with lignite and gas? Am I missing something?

In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.

When burned, that's 60,000 tons CO2/day.
