“But in New England, because of interconnection constraints and lots of nimbyism, gas has pretty much filled in the gap, not utility-scale wind and solar.”

“Wildfire smoke here in New England has drastically cut solar power production, so none of this is easy to model out.”

“Today, half of the generation mix is gas, but pipeline constraints have led to high prices and unscheduled power plant outages in the winter.”

“And then suddenly you have this finding that rooftop solar can shave enough demand to shut down the region's third biggest fossil power plant.”
