Just started reading the 568! page #Eversource Electric Sector Modernization Plan. The highlight so far is the enormous increase in capacity required to switch from gas to heat pumps for winter heating.

This is going to be a massive and contentious issue, particularly with the #NIMBY movement.

Oh hey, my information is out there again, and its not like I can opt out of using the company and giving #Eversource all my info.

#DataBreach #Privacy #Utilities #Massachusetts #Boston #CambridgeDay

Reporters should ask: has/is #Eversource gas division been on-site and did they/are they repairing any gas leaks in the aftermath of the explosions? Has methane gas been ruled out? Simple questions almost no one asks.

We have #NationalGrid gas leaking to explosive levels into #Eversource electric confined underground spaces; they know it & the #CityOfNewton knows it (as should other cities & towns); in fact, it’s public knowledge; but everyone is in a conspiracy of silence, otherwise we could solve it before the next explosion and someone gets hurt or killed again. I’m saying this without fear of getting sued because the gas industry wouldn’t dare - I have the data; they know it. That’s why I’m tagging them.

More bad behavior by #Eversource: https://energyandpolicy.org/emails-reveal-eversources-work-behind-the-scenes-to-push-gas-pipeline/

“once again” e.g.:
#Eversource lied about its 4/6/23 Newton gas explosion, located within the areal extent of a live #nationalgrid “super-emitter” gas leak. When caught, they quickly changed their story. Can’t trust this amoral corporate profit-seeker-at-all-costs in Newton, Douglas, Springfield,…

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently spent a workshop highlighting under-appreciated gas & electric system interconnectivity. Gas routinely leaks into electric infra, yet is never discussed. In #NewtonMA, #NationalGrid gas leaks into #FERC-regulated #Eversource utility holes to explosive levels. Our city & state officials know but stay silent.

Happy New Year from Wainscott Beach! What you don't see offshore is Jill, the liftboat, because the horizontal directional drilling work finished more than a month ahead of schedule. There's more work to be done!

Xmas by #nationalgrid . 16F tonight. 2+? days for what they admitted was a 4 hour job.

Town robo calling to tell us not to leave home. Stay for when the power comes on so you can watch your pipes explode.

Can we get exploding gas pipes back? at least that was warming. Shout out to #Eversource

It's considerably calmer out there now than at 5am when i first went out. #Fox61 is reporting the worst of the rain is over.

More wind expected over the course of the day but hopefully the worst of the wind is over, too.

#Eversource outage numbers are no longer increasing as rapidly now. Currently at about 99,000 Eversource customer #outages.
