Given this context, I am saddened to report that those responsible for operating the electric power grid in New England are pursuing a radical proposal to push power prices up, prevent businesses from growing and kill clean-energy in the process.
Escalating tensions over a proposal to impose rolling outages on wind-power farms in Oregon and Washington State to prevent the electricgrid from overheating has convinced the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), which is responsible for operating the power grid in the Pacific Northwest, to pull the plug on the plan.
Outfits operating in the smart-grid space like Accenture, IBM and General Electric would be reckless not to read the writing on the wall revealed by the report.
