Weather impact on usage is a primary driver
Load varies substantially daily and on weekends (duty cycle)
This spring was relatively mild; warmer summer
COVID-19 consequences:
Industrial and commercial consumption is lower
Residential consumption is higher
Overall 8-14% demand reduction in March and April
Morning load pickup has shifted
Renewable generation unchanged, but now a higher percentage
New York (NYISO) most significant
NYCA (New York Control Area) averaging 8-9% reduced demand
New York City averaged 13-14% reduced demand through May
NYC currently 7-9% below typical demands
Today: winter weather and response to COVID
