Year on year our underlying risk of blackouts is actually increasing, and this is because we’re replacing generation we can control – such as gas, coal, and nuclear power stations – with generation that’s dependent on the weather, primarily wind.” Another of her sources, Paul Homewood, has written for the GWPF.

The tariffs were meant to replace existing anti-dumping measures introduced in 2018 that were due to expire this year, but the government has decided to extend the current measures, meaning imports are effectively taxed twice. Australia and Singapore edge forward with plans for giant solar powered interconnector.

Renewable power has grown rapidly in the past decade. In some places, it has created intermittent periods of excess power. For example, California has created so much solar power that at times it was cheaper to pay Arizona to take the excess power than to significantly curtail power.

With an abundance of sunshine and blustery plains, Alberta and Saskatchewan have wind- and solar-power potential that rivals the best on the continent. Meanwhile, British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador have long excelled at generating low-cost hydro power. But we’ll need the power to make it happen.

Those auctions have been on ice since the last one in 2018. Last month's compliance filing from PJM set floor prices for most state-backed solar power, onshore and offshore wind and energy storage that are likely to be too high to compete against natural gas, nuclear or coal-fired power plants.

Dominion also gets more than one-third of its energy from nuclear power. And to help balance intermittent wind and solar power, it calls for Dominion to procure at least 2.7 That’s a slight increase from the 25 percent-75 percent ownership structure set in place in 2018.
