This article summarizes a lot of info we’ve seen recently, but has some great graphs and also brings some new info I hadn’t seen here yet:
* hydropower is taking the mid-day off now, and moving to a more complementary situation with solar
* NG producers are going offline and only participating in the cold-capacity market
* exports are down (probably unsurprising; due to BESS soaking up excess power)
* imports are up (surprising to me; probably due to NG producers going fully cold since they’re not needed for afternoon peaks)
* solar production has broken out of its 3-year plateau
