AGP Executive Report
Last update: 19 hours agoGrid Reliability: Oriental Mindoro’s island grid in the Philippines saw a slight improvement on May 30, with the deficit easing to 2.54 MW by 3 p.m., though multiple areas still faced outages as some feeders remained unserved and hydro output was constrained by low water levels and plant technical issues. Storm Impacts: Strong winds knocked out power across eastern Ontario and western Quebec, with Hydro One crews restoring service while outages persisted in several Ontario communities and about 14,000 customers were still without power mid-afternoon in Quebec. Nuclear Security: The UN nuclear watchdog chief warned that attacks on nuclear plants are becoming a dangerous “pattern,” citing incidents including a drone strike near Abu Dhabi’s Barakah site. Ukraine-Russia Nuclear Flashpoint: Rosatom says a Ukrainian drone hit the turbine hall of Zaporizhzhia NPP Unit 6, leaving a hole in the wall but not damaging main equipment; Ukraine denied the claim, while the IAEA previously reported repeated off-site power losses at the plant. Renewables Buildout: New York approved a 100 MW Fort Edward solar project after shrinking its footprint to reduce habitat and farmland impacts, while the UK granted planning consent for RWE’s Dogger Bank South and North Falls offshore wind projects. Solar as Resilience: Pakistan’s rooftop solar boom is credited with reducing exposure to oil-and-gas price shocks, with analysts estimating potential savings of $6.3 billion this year.
