Summer blackouts are sometimes unavoidable, and other times, very avoidable. The grid continues to enter uncharted territory with a combination of extreme weather and record high demand. The energy industry needs to have all the best information in order to be prepared for the next peak season. That is why I have pulled together some of our latest intel to help you and your company get ready for the upcoming summer.
Amperon’s summer grid predictions for each ISO
A quick glance at the ocean’s temperatures today reveals an Atlantic that feels more like a warm bathtub. This hurricane season is forecasted to be like no other this summer due to these warm ocean conditions and the absence of vertical wind shear in the atmosphere. Hurricanes, heat waves, and more extreme storms add stress to the grid that is already under strain due to the retiring of thermal generation plants and the unpredictability of renewables. Get your AC units ready because this summer is going to be hot, and the grid will be presented with significant challenges.
