2021 Rate Hikes and Sticker Shock
Energy Central
Jan 18, 2021
Typically, utilities write off uncollectible bills, and the costs are recovered from all customers in the form of higher rates. But things are far from ‘typical’ lately and if Dominion is unable to increase rates at this time, the situation can only worsen. Dominion says the rate hike would boost its finances and help the utility recover money it invested in its power plants, electric lines and other infrastructure over the past eight years. The utility agreed to wait six months to address the request again. Rhonda O'Banion, Dominion's spokeswoman, said they would use the next six months to try to reach a settlement with the state's utility watchdog agency, Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS) and the other groups that opposed the rate hike. "We look forward to continued collaboration with the parties as we seek to find compromises to reach a resolution to this case. We value the input from all customers who took the time to voice their concerns. We will continue to focus on providing the safe, reliable service they depend on.”
Florida Power & Light (FPL), owned by largest rate-regulated electric utility in the United States, NextEra Energy, proposed a rate hike that was met with a little less opposition. FPL’s projected rate increases will still keep FPL bills “well below the national average” through 2025.” said, FPL spokesman Christopher McGrath. Their press release stated, the revenue increases are “necessary to support continued investments that benefit customers as the company builds a more resilient and sustainable energy future for Florida in the face of climate change and strong, frequent severe weather.” Their immediate costs include moving transmission lines underground to improve reliability during extreme weather and reimbursement for the cost of building 900 megawatts of new solar generation capacity. Oklahoma may follow suit by pushing for underground electrical distribution systems but customers are reminded that these upgrades cost money and to reach that goal, rate hikes will be necessary. Last month, the state of Michigan approved Consumers Energy’s substantial rate hike. “We understand there may be some sticker shock when customers see their bill going up," said Consumers spokeswoman Katie Carey. "In the end, our goal is to provide safe and affordable electricity to the 1.8 million households and businesses we serve.” But they assured the public, the additional revenue will go toward vegetation management, updating infrastructure and eliminating coal-fueled power. The increase will also replace infrastructure and cover the rising costs of operations, maintenance, financing and environmental responses. In Southeast New Mexico, Xcel Energy is seeking a hefty 9.2% increase for new substations and transmission projects along with the massive Sagamore Wind Project. According to a study from consumer research firm Ownerly, New Mexico had the third-highest electric bill increase during the pandemic, more than triple the national average. Vermont had the highest rate increase at 20.8 percent, followed by Michigan at 14.4 percent. Pennsylvania had a 1.8% increase but nearly a million of the state’s utility customers are past due on their bills because of COVID-19 and many are asking, ‘Who will pick up the bill?’
Rate increases allow utilities to cover the costs of repairs, updates and uncollectible bills. Timing is everything but how long can utilities wait to recoup costs? Georgia Power is taking a different approach. The Smart Usage plan should change consumer behavior to reduce costs for everyone. It charges higher electricity rates for certain peak energy use that puts extra strain on the electricity grid — 2 p.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the months of June through September — and much lower-than-normal rates for all other periods. Despite much debate, Georgia Power spokesman John Kraft is confident that those who do make changes “stand to recognize savings, by using large appliances at different times and shifting usage away from summer afternoons.” Could a change in consumer behavior strike the balance required to maintain profitability in the utility sector? Or can rate hikes help them break even?

Building a Resilient Energy Future
American Gas Association
Jan 15, 2021
A resilient energy system is vital to every critical function and sector of the US economy and to the communities that depend upon its services.
Resilience is defined as a system’s ability to prevent, withstand, adapt to, and quickly recover from a high-impact, low-likelihood event such as a major disruption in a transmission pipeline. In comparison, reliability refers to a systems’ ability to maintain energy delivery under standard operating conditions, such as the normal fluctuations in demand and supply.
Disruptions to the US energy system can create widespread economic and social impacts, including losses in productivity, health, and safety issues, and—in the most extreme cases—loss of life. The energy system’s resilience must be considered and appropriately valued as utilities, system operators, regulators, and policymakers contemplate future energy infrastructure designs and operations.
The American Gas Foundation commissioned Building a Resilient Energy Future: How the Gas System Contributes to US Energy System Resilience to provide a framework for regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to examine energy system resilience and the role of the natural gas system.
This study addresses four key questions:
What are the characteristics of the US gas system that contribute to its resilience?
How do those resilience characteristics allow the US gas system to contribute to the overall resilience of the US energy system?
How can the US gas system be leveraged more effectively to strengthen the US energy system?
What are the policy and regulatory changes needed to ensure that gas infrastructure can be maintained and developed to continue to support energy system resilience?
These questions were explored through a qualitative assessment conducted by the firm Guidehouse, including discussions and interviews with energy industry experts. The report features several case studies to illustrate and provide a framework for assessing the US gas system’s attributes contributing to broader energy system resilience.
The report highlights the gas system’s ability to support resilience through its inherent, physical, and operational capabilities that enable it to meet the volatile demand profiles resulting from resilience events. Guidehouse found that the gas system supports a quick response to events and provides long-duration storage resources to meet peak and seasonal energy demand. The findings presented in this work also identify issues that merit consideration and further exploration when developing future energy policy and regulation to ensure a resilient, reliable, and clean future energy system in all regions and jurisdictions.

Combined Heat and Power and a Changing Climate: Reducing Emissions and Improving Resilience
Combined Heat and Power Alliance
Jan 14, 2021
The global climate is changing, and many are working to reduce emissions and build up resiliency across sectors, including electricity generation, transportation, industry, and commercial and residential buildings. Combined heat and power (CHP) can help to confront climate change challenges on both fronts: as an electric and thermal energy generation resource with lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than other generation options, and as a resilient asset that can keep the lights on during grid outages.
The report examines CHP’s role as a climate change solution due to its ability to reduce emissions and serve as a resilient energy resource, reliably providing electric and thermal energy even as climate change threatens and causes further disruptions to the grid. The report begins with an analysis of these key CHP benefits and is followed by an overview of the state of the market and recommendations for policymakers and other key stakeholders to increase CHP deployment.

U.S. Department of Energy to Invest $6.4 Million to Develop Hydrogen-Fueled Turbines
U.S. DOE
Dec 15, 2020
The UTSR Program conducts cutting-edge research to increase the efficiency and performance of gas turbines while lowering emissions. There is renewed interest in the use of hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, for turbine-based electricity generation. Hydrogen production from fossil fuels, coupled with carbon capture, utilization, and storage, can generate low-cost hydrogen with net-negative carbon emissions. Waste plastics could be added to the fuel mix to produce large quantities of hydrogen and to mitigate the impact of plastics in the environment.
This FOA focuses on fundamental and applied research to enable the use of hydrogen as a gas turbine fuel. Selected projects will support university-based R&D to resolve fundamental scientific challenges and applied engineering issues of combustion turbines fueled with pure hydrogen, hydrogen and natural gas mixtures, and other carbon-free hydrogen-containing fuels. The projects will study combustion issues in combined and in simple cycle applications.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will manage the projects. The FOA will seek to fund laboratory/bench-scale R&D in three areas of interest (AOIs):
AOI 1: Hydrogen Combustion Fundamentals for Gas Turbines. Research undertaken in this AOI will study the fundamental combustion phenomena of hydrogen-containing fuels, over a broad range of fuel compositions and combustion conditions.
AOI 2: Hydrogen Combustion Applications for Gas Turbines. The goal of this AOI is to study hydrogen-containing fuel combustion phenomena under various gas turbine conditions. The research could be used to design stable, high-temperature, and low-emission gas turbine combustors for hydrogen-containing fuels.
AOI 3: Hydrogen-Air Rotating Detonation Engines. This AOI aims to replace the existing deflagration combustion process with detonation, utilizing rotating detonation engines (RDEs) to increase the total pressure at the exit of the combustor and boost thermodynamic efficiency. Applications in AOI 3 must address issues related to RDE combustion and ultimate integration with turbomachinery for power generation.
Applications must be submitted by February 1, 2021.
DOE anticipates selecting up to eight projects for this FOA. For more information, visit FedConnect.

Blue hydrogen, carbon capture technologies to play key role in transition to sustainable energy future, says GECF
Energy Central
Dec 11, 2020
This was highlighted by GECF secretary-general Yury Sentyurin at a special virtual event ‘Blue Hydrogen Strategy’, organized by it. The event made special note of the potential for enriched natural gas, which is a blend of natural gas with hydrogen. The hydrogen economy is the use of hydrogen as a fuel, but is subject to intensive comparison, particularly between “various colors” of hydrogen. The most popular green hydrogen is obtained from renewables but is sub-scale, while the blue is produced from natural gas after pairing with carbon capture. “Looking at the alternative of blue hydrogen, it builds on natural gas and we already have this technology in place and the network to carry this volume is in place, for example through pipelines for natural gas,” Steinar Eikaas, Equinor’s vice president for Low Carbon Solutions.

PJM Close to New Rules for Utility-Owned Microgrids
Microgrid Knowledge
Dec 10, 2020
After being approved by various stakeholder panels, the PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee (MRC) is set to review the proposed rules at a December 17 meeting and potentially endorse them in January.
Once endorsed at the MRC the microgrid rules would be published in PJM’s Manual 14D and would become effective, according to Andrew Levitt, a senior market design specialist for the grid operator.
The rules remove a few PJM-side barriers to the development of a particular type of public microgrid on the distribution system, Levitt said.
The planned rules only apply to distribution-level microgrids, according to a December 3 presentation by the grid operator’s staff. The microgrids may not include any bulk electric system components or transmission facilities.

The state of distributed energy resources
NRG
Dec 9, 2020
Distributed energy resources (DERs) represent a transformative shift in the energy industry. Rather than relying on a single energy source tied directly to the grid, organizations are bringing integrated solutions into their energy strategies.
DERs add resiliency by moving dependence from the grid to a more localized site. To learn more about this emerging solution, we partnered with Smart Energy Decisions on their annual DER survey of organizations.
Here is what we found:
1. Customers want control over their cost of power without spending their own capital
2. Customers are confused by their choices of power
3. Customers see DERs as a means to gain control over their power with innovative models and partnerships
4. DERs are the best antidote to power outages
5. DERs can help customers achieve renewable and sustainability goals
We encourage organizations considering DERs to download the full report to become a more informed energy user, and to learn from the experiences of other like-minded organizations.

World’s first 1MW large-scale gas engine begins hydrogen field test
Power Engineering International
Dec 2, 2020
This 1MW pilot plant from INNIO Jenbacher represents the world’s first large-scale gas engine in the 1MW range that can be operated either with 100% natural gas or with variable hydrogen-natural gas mixtures up to 100% hydrogen.
The testing program will evaluate how the plant operates with different hydrogen-natural gas mixtures and is expected to provide important insights for the future operation of similar plants. “By field-testing this INNIO CHP plant with up to 100% hydrogen, we are demonstrating that a greener, more reliable, more flexible and future-orientated energy supply for Hamburg is technically feasible,” explained Thomas Baade, technical director of HanseWerk Natur GmbH.
The converted CHP plant provides 30 residential buildings, a sports center, a daycare center, and the Othmarschen Park leisure complex with a reliable supply of local heating that equates to 13,000MWh every year. The electricity generated is fed to electric vehicle charging points in Othmarschen’s multi-level parking garage, as well as to the local power grid.
“Our joint project with HanseWerk Natur is a key milestone on the path toward climate neutrality since green hydrogen is an important part of the solution. A particularly attractive aspect of our gas engine technology is that existing natural gas engines can also be converted to run on hydrogen. This offers operators security of investment, with the added benefit that the existing infrastructure can not only be utilized in the longer term but also deployed in a way that is environmentally sound,” said Carlos Lange, president and CEO of INNIO.

Their press release stated, the revenue increases are “necessary to support continued investments that benefit customers as the company builds a more resilient and sustainable energy future for Florida in the face of climate change and strong, frequent severe weather.” Their immediate costs include moving transmission lines underground to improve reliability during extreme weather and reimbursement for the cost of building 900 megawatts of new solar generation capacity. Oklahoma may follow suit by pushing for underground electrical distribution systems but customers are reminded that these upgrades cost money and to reach that goal, rate hikes will be necessary. Last month, the state of Michigan approved Consumers Energy’s substantial rate hike. “We understand there may be some sticker shock when customers see their bill going up," said Consumers spokeswoman Katie Carey. "In the end, our goal is to provide safe and affordable electricity to the 1.8 million households and businesses we serve.” But they assured the public, the additional revenue will go toward vegetation management, updating infrastructure and eliminating coal-fueled power. The increase will also replace infrastructure and cover the rising costs of operations, maintenance, financing and environmental responses. In Southeast New Mexico, Xcel Energy is seeking a hefty 9.2% increase for new substations and transmission projects along with the massive Sagamore Wind Project. According to a study from consumer research firm Ownerly, New Mexico had the third-highest electric bill increase during the pandemic, more than triple the national average. Vermont had the highest rate increase at 20.8 percent, followed by Michigan at 14.4 percent. Pennsylvania had a 1.8% increase but nearly a million of the state’s utility customers are past due on their bills because of COVID-19 and many are asking, ‘Who will pick up the bill?’
Rate increases allow utilities to cover the costs of repairs, updates and uncollectible bills. Timing is everything but how long can utilities wait to recoup costs? Georgia Power is taking a different approach. The Smart Usage plan should change consumer behavior to reduce costs for everyone. It charges higher electricity rates for certain peak energy use that puts extra strain on the electricity grid — 2 p.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the months of June through September — and much lower-than-normal rates for all other periods. Despite much debate, Georgia Power spokesman John Kraft is confident that those who do make changes “stand to recognize savings, by using large appliances at different times and shifting usage away from summer afternoons.” Could a change in consumer behavior strike the balance required to maintain profitability in the utility sector? Or can rate hikes help them break even?

Building a Resilient Energy Future
American Gas Association
Jan 15, 2021
A resilient energy system is vital to every critical function and sector of the US economy and to the communities that depend upon its services.
Resilience is defined as a system’s ability to prevent, withstand, adapt to, and quickly recover from a high-impact, low-likelihood event such as a major disruption in a transmission pipeline. In comparison, reliability refers to a systems’ ability to maintain energy delivery under standard operating conditions, such as the normal fluctuations in demand and supply.
Disruptions to the US energy system can create widespread economic and social impacts, including losses in productivity, health, and safety issues, and—in the most extreme cases—loss of life. The energy system’s resilience must be considered and appropriately valued as utilities, system operators, regulators, and policymakers contemplate future energy infrastructure designs and operations.
The American Gas Foundation commissioned Building a Resilient Energy Future: How the Gas System Contributes to US Energy System Resilience to provide a framework for regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to examine energy system resilience and the role of the natural gas system.
This study addresses four key questions:
What are the characteristics of the US gas system that contribute to its resilience?
How do those resilience characteristics allow the US gas system to contribute to the overall resilience of the US energy system?
How can the US gas system be leveraged more effectively to strengthen the US energy system?
What are the policy and regulatory changes needed to ensure that gas infrastructure can be maintained and developed to continue to support energy system resilience?
These questions were explored through a qualitative assessment conducted by the firm Guidehouse, including discussions and interviews with energy industry experts. The report features several case studies to illustrate and provide a framework for assessing the US gas system’s attributes contributing to broader energy system resilience.
The report highlights the gas system’s ability to support resilience through its inherent, physical, and operational capabilities that enable it to meet the volatile demand profiles resulting from resilience events. Guidehouse found that the gas system supports a quick response to events and provides long-duration storage resources to meet peak and seasonal energy demand. The findings presented in this work also identify issues that merit consideration and further exploration when developing future energy policy and regulation to ensure a resilient, reliable, and clean future energy system in all regions and jurisdictions.

Combined Heat and Power and a Changing Climate: Reducing Emissions and Improving Resilience
Combined Heat and Power Alliance
Jan 14, 2021
The global climate is changing, and many are working to reduce emissions and build up resiliency across sectors, including electricity generation, transportation, industry, and commercial and residential buildings. Combined heat and power (CHP) can help to confront climate change challenges on both fronts: as an electric and thermal energy generation resource with lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than other generation options, and as a resilient asset that can keep the lights on during grid outages.
The report examines CHP’s role as a climate change solution due to its ability to reduce emissions and serve as a resilient energy resource, reliably providing electric and thermal energy even as climate change threatens and causes further disruptions to the grid. The report begins with an analysis of these key CHP benefits and is followed by an overview of the state of the market and recommendations for policymakers and other key stakeholders to increase CHP deployment.

U.S. Department of Energy to Invest $6.4 Million to Develop Hydrogen-Fueled Turbines
U.S. DOE
Dec 15, 2020
The UTSR Program conducts cutting-edge research to increase the efficiency and performance of gas turbines while lowering emissions. There is renewed interest in the use of hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, for turbine-based electricity generation. Hydrogen production from fossil fuels, coupled with carbon capture, utilization, and storage, can generate low-cost hydrogen with net-negative carbon emissions. Waste plastics could be added to the fuel mix to produce large quantities of hydrogen and to mitigate the impact of plastics in the environment.
This FOA focuses on fundamental and applied research to enable the use of hydrogen as a gas turbine fuel. Selected projects will support university-based R&D to resolve fundamental scientific challenges and applied engineering issues of combustion turbines fueled with pure hydrogen, hydrogen and natural gas mixtures, and other carbon-free hydrogen-containing fuels. The projects will study combustion issues in combined and in simple cycle applications.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will manage the projects. The FOA will seek to fund laboratory/bench-scale R&D in three areas of interest (AOIs):
AOI 1: Hydrogen Combustion Fundamentals for Gas Turbines. Research undertaken in this AOI will study the fundamental combustion phenomena of hydrogen-containing fuels, over a broad range of fuel compositions and combustion conditions.
AOI 2: Hydrogen Combustion Applications for Gas Turbines. The goal of this AOI is to study hydrogen-containing fuel combustion phenomena under various gas turbine conditions. The research could be used to design stable, high-temperature, and low-emission gas turbine combustors for hydrogen-containing fuels.
AOI 3: Hydrogen-Air Rotating Detonation Engines. This AOI aims to replace the existing deflagration combustion process with detonation, utilizing rotating detonation engines (RDEs) to increase the total pressure at the exit of the combustor and boost thermodynamic efficiency. Applications in AOI 3 must address issues related to RDE combustion and ultimate integration with turbomachinery for power generation.
Applications must be submitted by February 1, 2021.
DOE anticipates selecting up to eight projects for this FOA. For more information, visit FedConnect.

Blue hydrogen, carbon capture technologies to play key role in transition to sustainable energy future, says GECF
Energy Central
Dec 11, 2020
This was highlighted by GECF secretary-general Yury Sentyurin at a special virtual event ‘Blue Hydrogen Strategy’, organized by it. The event made special note of the potential for enriched natural gas, which is a blend of natural gas with hydrogen. The hydrogen economy is the use of hydrogen as a fuel, but is subject to intensive comparison, particularly between “various colors” of hydrogen. The most popular green hydrogen is obtained from renewables but is sub-scale, while the blue is produced from natural gas after pairing with carbon capture. “Looking at the alternative of blue hydrogen, it builds on natural gas and we already have this technology in place and the network to carry this volume is in place, for example through pipelines for natural gas,” Steinar Eikaas, Equinor’s vice president for Low Carbon Solutions.

PJM Close to New Rules for Utility-Owned Microgrids
Microgrid Knowledge
Dec 10, 2020
After being approved by various stakeholder panels, the PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee (MRC) is set to review the proposed rules at a December 17 meeting and potentially endorse them in January.
Once endorsed at the MRC the microgrid rules would be published in PJM’s Manual 14D and would become effective, according to Andrew Levitt, a senior market design specialist for the grid operator.
The rules remove a few PJM-side barriers to the development of a particular type of public microgrid on the distribution system, Levitt said.
The planned rules only apply to distribution-level microgrids, according to a December 3 presentation by the grid operator’s staff. The microgrids may not include any bulk electric system components or transmission facilities.

The state of distributed energy resources
NRG
Dec 9, 2020
Distributed energy resources (DERs) represent a transformative shift in the energy industry. Rather than relying on a single energy source tied directly to the grid, organizations are bringing integrated solutions into their energy strategies.
DERs add resiliency by moving dependence from the grid to a more localized site. To learn more about this emerging solution, we partnered with Smart Energy Decisions on their annual DER survey of organizations.
Here is what we found:
1. Customers want control over their cost of power without spending their own capital
2. Customers are confused by their choices of power
3. Customers see DERs as a means to gain control over their power with innovative models and partnerships
4. DERs are the best antidote to power outages
5. DERs can help customers achieve renewable and sustainability goals
We encourage organizations considering DERs to download the full report to become a more informed energy user, and to learn from the experiences of other like-minded organizations.

World’s first 1MW large-scale gas engine begins hydrogen field test
Power Engineering International
Dec 2, 2020
This 1MW pilot plant from INNIO Jenbacher represents the world’s first large-scale gas engine in the 1MW range that can be operated either with 100% natural gas or with variable hydrogen-natural gas mixtures up to 100% hydrogen.
The testing program will evaluate how the plant operates with different hydrogen-natural gas mixtures and is expected to provide important insights for the future operation of similar plants. “By field-testing this INNIO CHP plant with up to 100% hydrogen, we are demonstrating that a greener, more reliable, more flexible and future-orientated energy supply for Hamburg is technically feasible,” explained Thomas Baade, technical director of HanseWerk Natur GmbH.
The converted CHP plant provides 30 residential buildings, a sports center, a daycare center, and the Othmarschen Park leisure complex with a reliable supply of local heating that equates to 13,000MWh every year. The electricity generated is fed to electric vehicle charging points in Othmarschen’s multi-level parking garage, as well as to the local power grid.
“Our joint project with HanseWerk Natur is a key milestone on the path toward climate neutrality since green hydrogen is an important part of the solution. A particularly attractive aspect of our gas engine technology is that existing natural gas engines can also be converted to run on hydrogen. This offers operators security of investment, with the added benefit that the existing infrastructure can not only be utilized in the longer term but also deployed in a way that is environmentally sound,” said Carlos Lange, president and CEO of INNIO.
