Getting Cold In New England? -- January 17, 2019

From ISO New England:

This was from a reader two nights ago, just a reminder:

Last night the Pilgrim nuke plant in Massachusetts started dropping output and now, according to the nrc.gov site, is only operating at 26% capacity.

That should stress the region's generating ability as this cold front moves in.

From wiki:

Pilgrim Station produces about 14% of the electricity generated in Massachusetts. On October 13, 2015, plant owners announced that it would close by June 1, 2019, citing "market conditions and increased costs," which would have included tens of millions of dollars of necessary safety upgrades.
