The Curious Case of the 1,200 MW Transmission Size “Limit” in New England

the present day, resources like the Phase II HVDC line from Canada to the United States that can operate at up to 2,000 MW, the Boston-based Mystic Generating Station units 8 and 9, which collectively are a 1,600 MW single source loss due to a common natural gas fuel source issue from an adjacent liquefied natural gas gasification facility, and the region’s two remaining nuclear plants, Seabrook in New Hampshire and Millstone in Connecticut, can all operate above 1,200 MW and up to their limits as long as system generation dispatch and resulting power flows on the New York and PJM systems allow.

Operators to Inspect Finland-Estonia Gas Pipeline for Possible Leak

of the incident, Gasgrid said.The pipeline opened in December 2019 to help integrate gas markets in the region, giving Finland and the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania more flexibility of supply.Finland last year leased a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to receive liquefied natural gas (LNG), replacing supplies from Russia which were cut in the wake of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.Situated at Inkoo, the Exemplar FSRU vessel has supplied gas to Estonia via the Balticconnector.Elering said there was no shortage of gas supply in Estonia as its customers were receiving

Report: Russia to Mothball Damaged Nord Stream Gas Pipelines

.Another source familiar with the plans confirmed that the stakeholders are considering conservation.This would most likely mean sealing the ruptured ends and putting a coating into the pipes to prevent further corrosion from seawater.One of the Russian sources said that, if the seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States that Europe is using to offset some of its Russian supplies became much more expensive, Europe might again be ready to buy more from Russia.Moscow's Energy Ministry referred questions to the pipeline operators, but neither they nor Gazprom replied to requests
