New York has set new data for hourly wind and photo voltaic technology, the New York Unbiased System Operator (NYISO) has reported.
The not-for-profit company says wind energy services generated 2,176 MW throughout the 1p.m. hour on March 9 and served 12% of system load. Behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter photo voltaic sources generated 3,832 MW throughout the 12 p.m. hour on March 12 and served 21% of system load.
“The contributions from wind and photo voltaic sources symbolize essential, helpful progress towards the state’s clear power objectives,” says Wealthy Dewey, president and CEO of NYISO. “As load continues to rise throughout the system, further technology and transmission shall be important to serve demand and keep grid reliability.”
