Curious about the extent to which Large Flexible Loads (LFLs) respond to wholesale electricity prices in ERCOT?
Here are some fresh stats I presented on behalf of ERCOT at April's Large Flexible Load Task Force. (1/5)

1/ 🚨New study alert!🚨
My DukeU colleagues and I just released a 1st-of-kind study on how the US grid could integrate up to 100 gigawatts of data centers w/out major new infrastructure, provided modest load flexibility (0.5%/yr). AI load growth can be managed faster, cheaper, & cleaner. 🧵

Been digging in on success rates for battery energy storage projects to reach commercial operations in ERCOT, as well as the time it takes to do so.

If you want to play ball with the big boys, best to speak their language. There is no second best.

1. Stimulates demand in a grid that has experienced power pricing below $.01/KWh 40% of 2024 ✅
2. Curtails >75% of load during peak demand ✅
3. Rural job creation + property tax boost ✅
4. Attracts relocating entrepreneurs ✅

Despite the fact that many loads account for numerous other factors besides 5 min price prints when formulating a curtailment strategy, the results of the analysis still shed light on the diverse approaches to "price responsiveness" among large flexible loads in ERCOT. (4/5)

There is a big winter storm crossing the country right now. This storm will put a strain on power grids
If prices get above $.1 - $.2 per kWh 95% of the bitcoin mining load will be offline across Texas, as usual. Let’s have a look at the storm & take a trip down memory lane 🧵

Bitmain has led the ASIC Manufacturing space (30+ models) for years.
I recently wrote a full breakdown of the Antminers and their history on our blog. Here is a quick graphic synopsis of all types, series, and models (S21 included)🧵
