Quickly ported the preferences window of #Curtail (by @hugoposnic) to use #libadwaita's dedicated switch row and spin row widgets! It's a fun and super easy task because it leads to more lines of code removed than added. If you're somewhat familiar with #GNOME development, why not try it yourself next time you notice that an app hasn't been ported to them?

Yay, a PR that removes more lines of code than it adds! I've ported the preferences window to use AdwSwitchRow and AdwSpinRow throughout, reducing code complexity and bringing the visuals up to...

"As solar capacity in #California continues to grow, the midday dip in net load is getting lower, presenting challenges for grid operators."

You can #curtail the #solar generation, but that would be a waste. Time to enable #EVs for smart charging and vehicle-to-grid services -- and to get the financial incentive structure in place.

I'd want to charge my EV at work, and let it power my house in the evening: flatten the duck.

California Duck Curve Getting Deeper With Solar Growth - CleanTechnica

As more solar capacity has come online in California, grid operators at the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) have observed a drop in net load (or the demand remaining after subtracting variable renewable generation) in the middle of the day when solar generation tends to be highest. When graphed for a typical day, the pattern […]
