Good to see demand management being tested to adjust the power needs of AI workloads without impacting latency, and to curtail energy usage to maintain grid stability temporarily.

Texas PUC commissioner outlines ERCOT challenges, net‑metering changes and rapid battery growth Commissioner Courtney Yaltman told the Environment and Transportation Committee that ERCOT’s energy‑only market and retiring generation require new tools such as conditioned net‑metering (Senate Bill 6), dispatchable reliability services and accelerated battery deployment to keep electricity reliable as demand grows.

Texas PUC Commissioner Courtney Yaltman reveals crucial strategies to enhance ERCOT's grid reliability amid rising energy demands and the integration of renewables.

Start of Spokes article... 2025–>2026 : What for Edinburgh Cycling Policy & Action? Will 2026 see Edinburgh City‘s new ‘Primary Cycle Network’ definition start to turn from policy into reality? And what of the City’s hugely ambitious 30% by 2030 traffic-reduction aims? What other decisions or actions may we see in the coming year?

Huge amounts of precious time having to be spent by officers in reassuring & re-reassuring worried councillors on issues where evidence is already pretty solid... In conclusion, a random thought Looking back on the stories above, one has to be struck by the huge amount of precious officer time that is devoted to handling the concerns of councillors worried by objections which in the end often prove either irrelevant or largely unfounded. Time which could be spent far more productively. Here are some examples… There is no better example than the saga of the Travelling Safely experimental Orders and the role of the TRO subcommittee (see ‘2025’ near the start of this article), resulting in additional meetings and literally hundreds of pages of reports [e.g. this 682-page download for their third meeting covering much of the same ground] The Braid Estate story (see above) is another – huge amounts of time in meetings, massive reports, preparation of traffic orders, finding contractors, abortive costs – all in aid of a messy compromise experiment, unwanted by many, and which may now not happen Most recently, the decision of TRO Sub to postpone a decision on whether to allow east-bound cycling in Rose Street, where westbound has been legal for decades. Officers now have to prepare a report on issues such as whether bikes may collide with cafe tables or get through any roadworks that might happen, even though the existing west-bound cycling works perfectly well. Is there a solution to this tragic time-wasting, delaying projects which are far more safety and environmentally significant? Certainly, objections must be heard, and councillors must interrogate officers. Some objections do have real substance. But when evidence is clear, and plainly laid out by officers when questioned at Committee (as, largely, in the above examples) surely there must be a mechanism for making councillors think twice. Is yet another investigation, more reports, more meetings, mor…

Big power users bring high grid costs. 💰

SB 6 helps ensure more of those costs are covered by them. ⚡️

New Orleans Works to Bolster Power Grid with Infrastructure Upgrades and Innovative Demand Management Strategies New Orleans is working to bolster its power grid, focusing on both infrastructure upgrades and innovative demand management strategies. A multi-faceted approach is underway, aiming to improve reliability and resilience in the face of ongoing challenges. Significant investments are planned for the region's transmission lines. MISO’s Long-Range Transmission Plan (MTEP) represents a substantial, phased effort to increase transmission capacity across its service area. While Phases 2 and 1 are currently in progress, Phases 3 and 4, targeting the Southern region including New Orleans and Arkansas, await approval. Entergy is also making local improvements, although specific details aren’t readily available. Entergy actively supports community-led initiatives like the Community Lighthouse Project, demonstrating a commitment to localized solutions. Beyond grid hardware, the city is emphasizing demand management and energy efficiency. Older buildings consume a large portion of the city’s energy, so a key initiative is the Energy Benchmarking Ordinance, which mandates that large buildings publicly report their energy usage, encouraging conservation efforts. Distributed generation—generating power locally—is also a priority, with a push for solar panel and battery system installations, particularly in community centers. The vision of “virtual power plant” models, where distributed generation systems are interconnected and integrated into the grid, aims to provide backup power and enhance overall stability. Policy and regulation play a critical role in these efforts. Federal legislation affecting wind and solar energy credits presents both opportunities and potential hurdles to affordability and project approvals. The city’s energy benchmarking ordinance provides a concrete tool for driving efficiency. However, these improvements face notable challenges. Balancing the cost of resilience measures with the desire for affordable power remains a key consideration, as frequent outages carry significant economic and safety consequences. The impact of federal legislation on renewable energy project affordability has introduced caution among stakeholders. Regulatory approvals for MISO's long-range transmission plans can be a lengthy process, causing delays. A crucial distinction exists between “reliability” – consistent operation – and “resilience” – the ability to recover from disruptions. New Orleans’ aging infrastructure and climate conditions add to the complexity, and differing priorities among Entergy, the City Council, and community advocates present ongoing stakeholder disagreements.
