Weekly Observations (Week Of 5/28/2021)
- U.S. electricity consumption posted a notable 11% uptick w/w this week and even vs. year ago is up nicely (+5.5%)
- Demand was driven by big increases among MidCon, NE/Atlantic and Southeast consumers this week and California was the only geo market where demand declined w/w
- Wind resource had a fantastic week with double digit w/w improvement (+30%) in generation driving a 170bps increase in the US electricity supply stack for wind this week
- Several other energy sources stepped up with demand, including coal and gas…
- …but solar bucked the uptrend and fell 4% w/w (perhaps due in part to soft California demand where solar plays a significant supply role)
- That said, solar is compiling the best quarter of the energy sources in 2Q21, up 27% y/y as the installed base expands
