California just made more clean energy than it needed We’re a long way from the land of milk and honey but on Easter Sunday – for about an hour – we got a taste of the promised land. On Sunday, at 1.55pm Pacific time, grid operator the California Independent Systems Operator (CAISO) reported the greenhouse gas emissions necessary to serve its demand – around 80% of California’s electricity demand on an annual basis – was measured at minus-16 mega tons of CO² per hour. Five minutes later, the value was -2 mTCO²/h, before it crept back up to 40 mTCO²/h at 2.05pm. At 2:10pm, it fell back to -86 mTCO²/h and stayed negative until 3:05pm. The information was brought to the attention of pv magazine via a tweet from eagle-eyed reader Jon Pa, after CAISO’s site first noted the negative values:[snip] Lastly to note was the amount of electricity from solar and wind generation being curtailed. And while the Sunday numbers weren’t available yet, the below image noted Saturday saw 10 GWh in total curtailed – peaking at more than 3.2 GW of instantaneous, mostly solar power, in the hours of 12 and 1pm. On an annualized basis, less than 2% of total potential solar electricity was curtailed in 2018 @SolarInMASS California ISO has negative CO2 emission Easter Sunday afternoon. pic.twitter.com/QoCZNZ5kOR — Jon Pa🥧 (@JonathanPapai) April 21, 2019
