Recent extreme weather events have demonstrated the need for a coordinated approach between natural gas and the electric grid. In my latest blog post for @Northwest Gas Association, I reviewed key takeaways from a recent joint report from FERC and NERC on improving our energy system's reliability during severe conditions, plus discussed how natural gas storage facilities can continue to act as a “shock absorber” for the energy system.

Energy demand soared during the recent 2024 freeze and Texas set 3 unofficial winter demand records (demand during Winter Storm Uri was likely much higher had we not experienced power outages). We are woefully underinvesting in energy efficiency and demand response programs to help reduce demand. Woody Rickerson, ERCOT senior vice president, said surplus energy from solar generation throughout the storm helped charge batteries and gave operators a chance to correct issues at thermal plants. https://lnkd.in/eSdTsa9f

Last week’s extreme weather is bringing greater focus to how our changing climate can increase risk to the network and the delivery of power to where it’s needed. Our Head of Transmission Verity Watson asks: is our critical grid infrastructure built to withstand increasingly intense storms, and where to from here? #energynetworks #netzero #transmission #ena #storm #infrastructure https://lnkd.in/gpnN337b

It is a very circular issue of escalation where a waiver is granted to create more Co2 deficit in order to keep the power on because of the excessive heat caused by climate change and CO2. It is an example of the obvious fact that we cannot go back even if we wanted to without a pain level that no one wants.... Food for thought. "The US Energy Department has issued an emergency order aimed at keeping the lights on in Texas as the state’s power grid grapples with surging demand amid record-high temperatures. The order, issued Thursday night, could allow Texas power plants to surpass pollution limits through Friday night to meet “abnormally high” demand for electricity". https://lnkd.in/gT9_NgfY

As extreme temperatures continue to grip nations around the world, key natural gas production resources are ever more vulnerable. It doesn't have to be this way. As nations continue to deal with more extreme weather, stationing natural gas production tools underground will become the preferred method of gas well operators to avoid any temperature-related complications.

Power outages can often increase in the heart of winter. Did you know #Microgrids can help reduce this problem? Microgrids are distributed energy resources that have the ability to “island,” or isolate, from the main grid during power emergencies - keeping the lights and heat on, even in the face of extreme winter weather. Check out this article from Siemens to learn more: https://ow.ly/sPhL50QBfhK

"Fair weather" power sources (solar and wind) are not reliable. Natural Gas powered sources are the most reliable. Period.

The recent winter freeze in Texas highlighted #renewableenergy’s reliability in challenging weather conditions. Solar set records, contributing 20% of the total power generation needed to keep the #grid stable during peak demand. The success stories from this freeze should serve as a reminder that leveraging solar installations and increased battery deployment enhances the resilience of our grid as extreme weather events become more frequent. Find out more from Axios.
