As noted here earlier today, yesterday I appreciated the opportunity to attend day 1 of the CEC’s QCES … including hearing presentations and discussion on a couple of different sessions – including the ‘Faster than Forecast’ session to wrap up day 1.
Though I wondered if the session might have been more accurately been named ‘Slower than the High-Profiles Models would Hope’ given the comments that emerged from several speakers … including Oliver Nunn from Endgame Analytics – who cut through with several comments, including the note that ‘the ISP Step Change Scenario is divorced from reality’ with respect to the 2024 ISP:
There was plenty of detail in Oliver’s presentation (way more than I have time to note here – and even then I would not do it justice), but worth flagging the follow-on question I asked in the panel session at the end:
For me, there’s certainly a large note of ‘Emperors New Clothes’ prevalent in relation to this … referring back to my articles from years-gone-by about Villain #1.
Two additional points:
1) Coincidentally I note that the same slide from Oliver above also resonated with Sam Markham from Fluence, who included it in her update on LinkedIn here.
2) Perhaps at some point Oliver might have time to add to his tally of guest authored articles here on WattClarity, but I assume that this might take some time.
