How well do you understand peak demand in the Southeast USA?

How is peak demand changing in the Southeast USA? Are winter peaks increasing? How frequent are summer and winter peaks? How do individual utility systems differ? This new report takes an in-depth look at hourly data for 22 utility systems.

Research Director, Resource Insight, Inc.

Really interesting-- thanks for sharing, John. This information is definitely of high importance to those utilities serving these regions and shows that one-size-fits-all solutions don't exist across the U.S. utilities. Is the Southeast unique in having this shaped profile? I wonder if there are lessons to be learned from this where an international utility market would prove more...

Hi, Matt I think it is a regional concept, may differ from region to another. In a wide country like the USA, Canada, China, India, and similar countries you can find that concept.

A couple of thoughts on the recent news surrounding smart meters

Although the proliferation of smart meters began back in the early 2010’s, it’s long been speculated that they’d become the norm by the end of this new decade.

Small Business Owner, Self-employed

I can't say if COVID will be more impactful on smartgrid rollout over regulatory sentiment and technology developments. But, as an energy consumer, I will mention that Xcel Energy has been sharing a number of ways they are adapting to our current situation, including reading AMR meters with drive-by vehicles and otherwise asking to provide field meter reading staff when they are manually...

I think you're right, Eric. Something like remote meter reading and real-time energy usage collection should already be the norm, but I think inertia is standing in the way. As we recovery from the current pandemic, some of the measures like these that are put into place may end up just sticking around as common sense standard practices

Energy Storage Enables Supply Demand Optimization

Balancing energy supply/demand will be a growing future problem as more renewable energy is brought to market and competes favorably for dispatch onto the grid with nuclear, coal, and natural gas units.
