I believe a portion of it is quite a low forecast for wind generation coinciding pretty closely with the morning peak.
The peak-trough consumption difference seems to be about 2GW, and wind generation averages about 400MW but can hit 900MW
If you wanna poke around with some historical data yourself, I scrape a lot of it for my own curiosity, and have opened up my dashboard
Agreed. I’m honestly at the point where I just assume rates will be up 15ish% each year, and I kinda feel like they just need to say that’s what the plan is for the next umpty-um years
I would caution that there’s a fair gap between “don’t need expansion joints” and “don’t have heat restrictions”. A few days a year of heat restrictions could be considered a reasonable engineering trade-off, if it manages costs
While concerning, I think the “amid global decline” is the real headline here (and I’m glad they added it). My reading of this is that NZ almost exactly mirrored the average change across the OECD
The current law requires no false claims be made. NZF want to repeal that, and allow dubious claims
Disagree.
They can’t do it through software, but a wireless charger is inducing a current in a coil. NFC chips often use a coil antennal, and inducing a current in that could well trip a protective device, like a resettable fuse. It could be limited to these devices because of a particular resonance or harmonic they share
Blow that dog whistle a bit harder, Winnie!
Terror and chaos, I’d be inclined to say. Seymour’s policy doesn’t seem particularly consistent with itself, or National’s
I’m sorry, but WTF is
They are the company, running the thing. You are going to alarm them a whole lot more by going to the damn DHS. Like, I think DHS and TSA probably do need to know about this, but why not start with the actual intimately responsible party?
