More wind energy and interregional transmission could have mitigated the impacts of rolling blackouts winter storm.
represented only 0.04 and 0.4 percent of each state’s total net generation, respectively.
While wind was strong during Winter Storm Elliot, that will not necessarily be the case in every winter storm. In the face of extreme winter weather, a diversity of resources is essential to ensure that the lights stay on and to minimize the risk of blackouts when one type of generator is unable to deliver, like gas was during this recent winter storm.
All times are in Central Standard Time. Surface wind observations at 3-hour intervals. TVA’s periods of rolling blackouts are in red, while Duke Energy’s outage period is in blue .Although energy was successfully shared through the existing transmission network, that network is stretched to its limits, and as a result, excess energy, specifically wind energy, was curtailed .
At one point while TVA was experiencing blackouts on December 23, SPP alone experienced about 3 GW of wind curtailments, shown below. That 3 GW of wasted wind power is more energy than what can be produced at TVA’s largest coal plant, the Cumberland Fossil Plant, which is planned to bein 2026. Had this energy been available, it could have alleviated the Southeast’s shortage, both in terms of magnitude and duration, and kept the lights on for more households during the extreme cold.
All times are in Central Standard Time. SPP reports the amount of wind curtailed in its footprint, while MISO and PJM do not explicitly do so. To estimate the amount of wind curtailed in MISO and PJM, the 2021 annual average curtailment rate from LBNL’s “Land-Based Wind Market Report: 2022 Edition” was applied to the reported hourly wind generation profile in the two regions. TVA’s periods of rolling blackouts are in red, while Duke Energy’s outage period is in blue .

This app means to put an end to wasted food - KRLD NewsSome people call them leftovers. Others call them 'dinner'. This is an app that means to put an end to wasted food. It claims that up to 40 percent of the food that's made goes to waste. This lets you buy some of it, at a much lower price. It shows you restaurants and supermarkets that are part of the system. They have leftover food that would be headed for the landfill. You can place an order through the app, pay for it, and collect it when you get the OK. The app shows you what's available and where, and what price you'd have to pay. It says most of the meals may run you 5 bucks, tops. And chances are: the meal you're getting is going to be a surprise. Too Good To Go is a free app on iTunes and Android. You pay for the meals. Getty Images
