I love bragging about how reliable and forward-thinking our municipal utilities are compared to the privately owned for-profit alternatives some of our neighbors have.

    Very exciting to see this. Assuming it ends up being close to $0.028 / kWh, that's a lot of locked in cheap electricity we'll have for the next ~30 years. And it' comforting to know that whatever fluctuations we see in the natural gas market will have much less of an impact on our household budgets here. We need more solar though, let's keep it up!

    To what extent did this plant come in to play two years ago during the big freeze when natural gas prices skyrocketed? If we have this plant to help us during these times then why did CSU customers pay dearly for the big freeze?

    • @SpringsUtilities
      @SpringsUtilities Před 5 měsíci

      The function of this plant is to help mitigate even higher costs during extreme winter weather conditions, but it cannot insulate us completely from having to buy on the market during peak demand weather. The bottom line, however, is we're much better off with the propane air plant than without it. Back in 2021, during winter storm Uri, we used this plant, but the unique conditions and duration of that weather event still required us to buy natural gas on the market to ensure we could meet customer demands. Uri introduced unique dynamics across the U.S. that caused natural gas market prices to skyrocket due to restrictions in supply and high demand. This meant that utilities who distribute natural gas to their customers - like us -- paid extraordinarily high fuel costs and, in turn, passed those costs on to their customers. In our case, the storm caused $144 million in unexpected expenses. The good news is that based on what we're seeing currently, we do not expect this weekend's arctic blast to have the same level of impact on natural gas markets. - Steve

    • @SpringsUtilities
      @SpringsUtilities Před 9 měsíci

      Hi Kevin, we do not yet know if age was a factor in what happened on Kiowa Street. What we do know is that it was a very unique situation and something we've rarely seen occur on our electric system. With a rapidly changing energy industry -- both from a technology and regulatory perspective -- we are actively pursuing several electric grid projects (such as substation and transmission line expansions and upgrades) to enhance the resiliency and reliability of our electric system to reflect growing demands and technological advancements. These projects are part of our Sustainable Energy Plan - www.csu.org/Pages/SustainableEnergyPlan.aspx. Additional information on how we're planning our community's energy future can be found in one of our recent blogs www.csu.org/Pages/Blog/A-quest-to-diversify-our-energy-future.aspx. - Diana

    Great documentary on the rescue procedure. But that doesn’t really make me optimistic: how long does the fire brigade need to arrive on scene and reach the victim with the SCBA?
