Yvonne ‘looks undocumented’<p>An interesting article (soon to be a series) in my local paper about soaring electricity prices. </p><p><a href="https://highlandscurrent.org/2025/06/27/beyond-the-grid-peak-power/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">highlandscurrent.org/2025/06/2</span><span class="invisible">7/beyond-the-grid-peak-power/</span></a></p><p>“Because these fossil-fuel plants operate only a few days a year, they charge exorbitant rates to cover their operating expenses. That drives up costs across the grid. For example, on Tuesday (June 24) at 5:51 p.m., with the peaker plants running, the price per megawatt in the Hudson Valley was $2,886. A month earlier, on a mild May afternoon, the price was $26.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/readit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readit</span></a></p>
