Parking it here for future reference.

Here it is:

PJM 2021 State of the Market Report

Note that where NERC does not project a significant decrease in coal production, PJM’s coal generation increased from 2020 to 2021 (now we do need to keep in mind that 2020 was a very low demand year):

Here’s an overall summary:

The big takeaway is that demand has increased over 2020, which is no surprise. Note the “Average Hourly Load” and “Average Hourly Generation” and compare with “Installed Capacity.” Capacity is essentially twice Average Hourly Load and Average Hourly generation (and note exports and imports are included).

And just for shits and giggles, here’s the PJM LOCATIONAL MARGINAL PRICING MAP!

Today, comments were due on a “rulemaking” question from the Public Utilities Commission, with a very limited about “should the Commission amend the pipeline rules to include CO2 as a hazardous gas.” That limited, and nothing about whether they should initiate a more general rulemaking with CO2 specific provisions. GRRRRRRR.

Here’s my first Comment:

It is so infuriating to see the CO2 pipeline application filed in Iowa, and the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission having an “informational” planning session with only promotional toadies pushing for CO2 capture and storage and pipelines:

Earth to Mars, where’s the notion of ELIMINATION of CO2 generation?

Great job of keeping us posted!

How nuts can this get? It’s possible we’ll see, it is a war, after all. Here I sit, finishing up nuclear waste comments to the PUC, and I see this. WTAF?
