A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

We estimate heat-stress labor impacts at $41 per ton (90% CI $1-$108). This places it second behind mortality in our set of SCC damages. Our estimate is also *remarkably* similar to "labor disutility" costs by Rode et al., using a completely different approach. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Introducing labor shocks into the GTAP computable general equilibrium model produces economic damage functions allowing for equilibrium adjustments in production, consumption and trade. Hot and humid regions heavily reliant on agriculture are most severely affected.

Many regions already experience substantial heat stress during parts of the year. Climate change increases the duration and intensity of these dangerously hot periods. The intra-annual manufacturing labor shocks for select regions and multiple warming levels are shown here.
