I don't check into ISO NE every day, but I check iin enough to know when something different is happening.
Today is one of those days.
First, today, the wind is not blowing.
Renewable contribution is only 4% -- about as low as it ever gets -- and the proportion of wind contributing to renewables is also about as low as it gets: 9%. Four percent of nine percent = 0.36% -- that's about one-third of one percent.
Then, look at this: the contribution of nuclear plus natural gas is an astounding 93%. Normally is runs in the high 70s.
And then, this: net imports is a negative. Right now a negative three percent; earlier it was a negative four percent. I don't know what that means. "Negative" in this realm suggests ISO NE is selling some of their electricity, or perhaps, cutting back on some agree-to contracts (whether that can be done or not, I don't know).
Doesn’t add up to 100%, either.
But 93% contribution by nuclear plus natural gas. Hydro is down to 2% which keeps the price of electricity down.
