Blackouts loom as increased energy demand puts strain on energy grids this summer

July 12, 2022 -

Warnings of rolling blackouts had been issued since the beginning of the year, as utility companies brace for the impact of a surge in demand. This could leave millions without electricity in the middle of summer.

A report from Refinitiv Data stated that federal agencies responsible for power reliability – such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – have warned that grids in the western half of the U.S. could face reliability issues in the summer. (Related: 12 ...

New Zealand to resume OIL DRILLING amid fears of blackouts

a month ago -

NZ Resources Minister Shane Jones decided to announce the ban's lifting. Alongside this, the country's coalition government is preparing to invite energy companies to resume exploration in the three major offshore fields that supply most of its gas. The decision comes after Transpower, the firm operating New Zealand's national grid, was forced to warn families to limit their electricity usage to avoid a shutdown during a cold snap.

According to Jones, the ban's overturn would ...

Parts of U.S. facing elevated risk of blackouts this summer, industry expert warns

May 21, 2024 - blackouts are poised to increase because of regulations imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

"Delayed coal plant retirements are playing a key role in supporting grid reliability. However, this is only a temporary band-aid because EPA regulations will cause more coal retirements that cannot be delayed. These regulations, especially the recently announced Carbon Rule, increase the chance of blackouts," Bloodworth said. "With electricity ...

America’s shift to “green energy” will collapse the power grid and cause rolling blackouts

April 21, 2024 -

Could rolling blackouts soon became the norm in parts of the U.S., much like they are in places like North Korea and Pakistan?

Demand is skyrocketing in places like Northern Virginia, where the equivalent to several big nuclear plants is needed to handle all of the upcoming data centers there, and Georgia, whose projected new electricity use for the next decade is 17 times greater than recent figures. In Texas, where there are already routine electricity shortages ...

GRID DOWN ALERT: North America at risk of blackouts during cold weather events, regulator warns

November 12, 2023 -

As per NERC's "2023–2024 Winter Reliability Assessment" published November 8, a sweeping portion of the country that extends from Texas to the Canadian border is not adequately equipped for tough winter conditions. The report indicated that the power grid continues to fray and suffer from underinvestment, despite promises by politicians and regulators to shore it up following deadly blackouts in recent years. "As observed in recent winter reliability events, over ...

ANALYSIS: New EPA climate rules will cause rolling BLACKOUTS across America

August 15, 2023 -

Over the coming decades, the cost to stakeholders of the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) scheme will amount to nearly $250 billion, a CAE analysis found. Meanwhile, the average annual cost to stakeholders of building enough infrastructure to stave off these blackouts is far greater than the average annual benefits the EPA scheme will bring to the entire country by the year 2055.

"This is the regulatory equivalent of studying the structural integrity ...

The race toward renewable energy is DOOMING the UK’s power grid and will lead to rolling blackouts

March 01, 2023 -

Hundreds of energy projects are currently stalled in the UK, and mayors are speaking out. Many of these projects, which include renewable energy, will not be implemented for several years. Mayors across the UK are reporting capacity issues, and the capacity upgrades may take an additional seven to eight years to complete. To make matters worse, these renewable energy projects cost tens of billions of euros to set up, leaving consumers with higher energy prices, while detracting ...

Mike Adams and Alex Jones were right: Major U.S. energy provider predicting blackouts across 13 states thanks to ‘forced renewable energy’ push by Biden regime

February 27, 2023 - blackouts are likely to occur, the board noted.

Typically, PJM generates a surplus of power due to its extensive fossil-fuel fleet, which it exports to nearby power grids in the Midwest and Northeast. When wind power declined in the Midwest and central states last week, PJM helped bridge the gap between supply and demand, thereby ensuring that the lights remained on, the WSJ board continued.

This is why PJM's latest predictions are alarming, as the organization ...

German public television station tells citizens to bathe only once a week to prevent energy collapse and blackouts this winter

January 03, 2023 -

Staying dirty and using minimal water will help to offset German politicians' failed "green" initiatives, which resulted in a shutdown of the country's domestic energy production.

Coupled with Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, which led to gas supplies being cut off from Europe, Germany is in serious trouble unless citizens agree to revert back to the Stone Ages.

"Around 100 years ago, it was still customary to bathe only once a week," ...

Gas power saves Texas from blackouts as wind power collapses

December 30, 2022 - blackouts last year was avoided, thanks to gas power which came to the rescue, as wind power collapsed to virtually nothing at the same time as demand surged," Paul Homewood wrote in a climate blog.

He pointed out that Texas has 35 gigawatts (GW) of wind capacity, but the output was running below five GW throughout December 24, and down to two GW for much of the day.

"This certainly was not due to lack of wind, quite the opposite in fact. Whether wind power ...
