Wind farms in Texas, N.D., N.Y. move forward
08/29/2016

Chief Analyst, TransmissionHub

August saw development steps for several wind projects around the United States, including two companion projects (149 MW apiece) in North Dakota of NextEra Energy.

Project highlights during the month, as reported by GenerationHub, included:

Brady Interconnection on Aug. 25 filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission a shared facilities agreement between Brady Interconnection, Brady Wind and Brady Wind II. Brady Wind and Brady Wind II are each developing wind power facilities of about 149 MW. Brady Wind and Brady Wind II each have an application for market-based rates pending in front of the commission.

They are part of NextEra Energy Resources, a unit of NextEra Energy. Brady Interconnection will own an about 19-mile, 230 kV generation tie line serving the Brady Wind and Brady Wind II projects in Stark County, North Dakota. The point of interconnection is at the Daglum Substation owned by Basin Electric Power Cooperative. The Brady Wind facility may start producing test energy as early as Oct. 25, 2016. The Brady Wind II facility may start producing test energy as early as Nov. 15, 2016.

Filed with the Texas Public Utility Commission were interconnect deals for two wind projects of Lincoln Clean Energy that would have staggered commercial operation dates but the same interconnection point. Oncor Electric Delivery Co. filed with the commission on Aug. 19 a Standard Generation Interconnection Agreement with Dermott Wind for a 253 MW project that is due in commercial operation on Aug. 30, 2017. The project's Point of Interconnection is in Scurry County, Texas, at the Dermott Switching Station.

This project to be made up of 110 General Electric wind turbines sized at 2.3 MW each. Oncor filed at the commission a similar agreement with Coyote Wind for a project that is due in commercial operation on Aug. 30, 2018. The agreement covers a 242.5 MW wind farm that will be composed of 97 GE wind turbines of 2.5 MW each. The project's Point of Interconnection will also be at the Dermott Switching Station.

FERC approved the filing by the New York Independent System Operator and interconnecting transmission owner the New York Power Authority of an executed Large Generator Interconnection Agreement for the in-construction, 77.7 MW project of Jericho Rise Wind Farm. This wind farm is in Franklin County, New York. It will consist of 37 Gamesa G114 2.1 MW turbines.

The project will interconnect to transmission facilities of NYPA at the existing 115 kV Willis Substation. The project's commercial operation target date under this LGIA is in November of this year. A listed project contact is with EDP Renewables North America.

The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced in the Aug. 18 Federal Register that it has gotten an unsolicited application for wind area leasing from Trident Winds for a 765 MW wind project to be located offshore of the retired Morro Bay power plant in California. The bureau will now seek any competing offers for the tract.

As grid level storage comes online, the wind farms will be increasingly lucrative investments. Trump, or no Trump.

The real danger is an adrupt change that no one has predicted or prepared for. And it has happened in the past.

Funny how I don't see coal or oil listed.

We know from historic levels of sea level rise from 26k to around 6k ago that abrupt and severe sea level change is very possible. I posted pretty much the same graph.

We're seeing sea level rise that we haven't seen since that period....As our planet warms the ice is going to melt.

We need to put a big tax on all coastal properties.
Since 95% of the people living there are dark blue progressive properties they should have no problem with the taxation.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Those sea level changes were glacial to interglacial changes. We are in an interglacial cycle. So expecting to see a similar change now is illogical, irrational and ignorant.

So what do you think the atmospheric CO2 will be by 2100 and why? You don't have to throw up any graphs I'm just looking to see if you have any understanding behind the drivers, ok?

Would you like for me to show you what the relationship is between atmospheric CO2 and CO2 emissions? If you like I can give you the equation.

You need to spend some time going over the last few thousand posts. You've been spouting information as if you were talking to the great unwashed when virtually every iota you've brought up here was talked to death YEARS back. Try listening just a little bit more. Can't hurt.

No. I don't. I suspect you are both too scared to have your flaws exposed. I'm happy enough for you both to ignore these simple questions to prove my point.

Would you like to tell me what you believe atmospheric CO2 will be by the year 2100?

Don't mind Crick. He just can't repost because he's not sure what lie to repost.

No. I suspect it will fall in somewhere within the IPCC projections, tending (IMHO) between the A1 and A2 scenarios

Those are some really fancy graphs. Very impressive graphics, I can see why you accept their findings. Just one thing though... why do you believe emission scenario A1 and A2 are credible?

Credible? Because they have been developed over the past several decades by actual experts in the associated fields. And I believe we will end up with the higher of the various scenarios because my experience and the lessons of history tell us that humans are pretty stupid about committing long term to efforts with little visible, short term gains.

Do you not believe they are credible?

Do you not believe they are credible?

Forecasts are not credible because of who creates the forecast. Forecasts are credible because they represent historical data accurately and honor existing well established existing trends. There is a well established trend that exists today. This trend is based upon increasing CO2 emissions. Do you know which of the IPPC curves represents the historic, increasing CO2 emissions?

No... I do not believe they are not credible... or to say it without the triple negative... I do not believe that A1 and A2 are credible forecast of CO2 emissions. Therefore, I do not believe that A1 and A2 are credible atmospheric CO2 projections.

I do believe that B2 is a credible CO2 emission and atmospheric CO2 forecast that matches the existing CO2 emission and atmospheric CO2 data.
