In what way was the grid running on the ragged edge before EVs?The grid was running on the ragged edge before they pushed EV’s and not it is worse. This is a thread to discuss the grid and what is going in concerning it.
If MISO and power generators are discussing brownouts and or blackouts and asking customers to not use the resource they distribute, and their owners sell, then the grid is on the ragged edge…In what way was the grid running on the ragged edge before EVs?
The grid isn’t on the ragged edge, but it is at risk if too many needed power plants shut down.
THIS.If MISO and power generators are discussing brownouts and or blackouts and asking customers to not use the resource they distribute, and their owners sell, then the grid is on the ragged edge…
This is all true and the sheeple are too ignorant to understand until they suffer personally and then I suspect it will be too late…The biggest challenge to the grid isn’t EVs- it’s premature retirement of gas/coal plants that provide dispatchable power being replaced by intermittent wind and solar that aren’t always providing power and the lack of battery capacity to make up for it. Federal and state green energy policy in combination with subsidized renewables driving market prices down for dirt burning plants makes them uneconomical and on the chopping block.
MISO is not predicting blackouts or capacity shortages. It advocates hard for continuing to invest in gas infrastructure to keep dispatchable power and the lights on. Still, MISO's grid is far from being on the ragged edge.If MISO and power generators are discussing brownouts and or blackouts and asking customers to not use the resource they distribute, and their owners sell, then the grid is on the ragged edge…
There are literally dozens of them for the areas MISO covers, some reference MISO other do not.MISO is not predicting blackouts or capacity shortages.

Show me the last time MISO made a public appeal to conserve energy. MISO hasn't had an EEA3 since Winter Storm Uri, and even there, the problems were in the South, where the storm was terrible.
Yep, just call your local Generac dealer and ask how business has been (or how soon they can get you on the install schedule)...There are literally dozens of them for the areas MISO covers, some reference MISO other do not.
How rolling blackouts could affect Louisville and Indiana amid heat wave
Power grid regulators have warned that Southern Indiana could be hit with outages as demand increases, and LG&E says it is "in good shape"www.courier-journal.com
As officials project warm temps, high energy demands, could Indiana see rolling blackouts?
Indiana may see emergency procedures this summer as possible extreme weather and projected demand increase and capacity shortfalls converge.www.indystar.com
Extreme heat puts Indiana, other states at risk for an 'energy emergency' this summer
Extreme heat could lead to an "energy emergency" in Indiana, 14 other states and a Canadian province this summer as people and businesses use more electricity for air conditioning.www.wfyi.org
Funny thing how the numbers of whole house generators are going through the roof, those folks believe it is coming. Now go back to the comfort of your normalcy bias...
Every time it gets hot or cold, they run an article. Have since Uri- don't trust the media, remember? It's just a recycled story.There are literally dozens of them for the areas MISO covers, some reference MISO other do not.

TVA/LG&E had some issues in the 2022 Winter Storm, but that's because their generation got knocked out from winter weather, not demand problems.Just because there are no active alerts, doesnt mean there werent or wont be. They have been issuing alerts in various parts of the country the last several years.
Not a prepper I see. It is stupid to wait until crisis to fix the situation, but that is exactly where we are headed. Again, this is normalcy bias its finest.Every time it gets hot or cold, they run an article. Have since Uri- don't trust the media, remember? It's just a recycled story.
MISO hasn't had an EEA event in any of those. No load shed. No public appeals. I had a Generac before I moved to Carmel. I actually lived in San Diego in 2011 during the SW blackout, it makes you paranoid. I haven't needed one here. We aren't too outage-prone where I am.

Glad I picked up my whole house Generac back in 2020Yep, just call your local Generac dealer and ask how business has been (or how soon they can get you on the install schedule)...
