A waterford 3 unit is down for yearly maint, and River Bend tripped. Mostly likely a cooling water pump or turbine building aux trip. I’m out of the nuclear game, but once a unit trips, it’s not like it starts right back up. Tedious process.

And MISO told River Bend to cut power so that the grid was protected.

They described it as a “regularly scheduled refueling and maintenance.”

MISO definitely told them to load shed. But right now Entergy is blaming MISO and MISO is blaming Entergy.

Lewis needs to understand something. Backup power is available through the grid but you'd burn lines to the ground trying to get it to the Baton Rouge/New Orleans metro. That's why they have to have rolling blackouts.
If you don't want this problem, have more generation built near New Orleans, which costs money that has to be authorized by the PSC.

They’re probably both right to some extent.
MISO told Entergy to load shed.
Entergy’s plant tripped, causing the need to load shed in the first place.
MISO didn’t schedule enough generation (if we believe their comments about higher-than-expected demand) to mitigate impacts when Riverbend tripped.
Sounds like there’s enough blame to go around.

We don't have anywhere near the amount of problems in Arkansas as yall do with Entergy. Pretty crazy!
