New transmission line connecting Hydro-Quebec to ISO-NE begins commercial operations

New transmission line connecting Hydro-Quebec to ISO-NE begins commercial operations

Over the past few years, Independent System Operator-New England (ISO-NE) has relied less on Canada for electricity. On January 16, 2026, the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC), a 1,200 megawatt (MW) transmission line project, began commercial operation. The new high-voltage direct current NECEC transmission line is primarily intended to increase the amount of hydroelectric power exported from Canada to New England. However, during Winter Storm Fern, New England exported more electricity to Canada than it imported.

Petroleum electricity generation surpassed natural gas in New England during winter storm

Petroleum electricity generation surpassed natural gas in New England during winter storm

Although petroleum accounts for less than 1% of total U.S. utility-scale electric power generation, regions such as New England rely on oil-fired units during winter periods when cold weather creates high demand. When Winter Storm Fern affected New England this week, petroleum was the predominant energy source starting around midday on January 24 and lasting until early morning on January 26. Since then, petroleum and natural gas have been fluctuating as the primary energy source.

Coal-fired generation rose to meet demand during Winter Storm Fern

Coal-fired generation rose to meet demand during Winter Storm Fern

In the week ending January 25, 2026, as Winter Storm Fern affected significant portions of the country, coal-fired electricity generation in the Lower 48 states increased 31% from the previous week. The increase contrasts with coal use in the earlier part of January, which had milder weather and consequently lower coal-fired generation compared with the same period in 2025.

Crude oil tanker rates reached multi-year highs in late 2025

Crude oil tanker rates reached multi-year highs in late 2025

Shipping rates for crude oil tankers were at multi-year highs at the end of 2025 before falling in early 2026. Rates climbed in the fall of 2025 because of increased demand for crude oil shipments, particularly from buyers in East Asia, limiting the number of vessels available for bookings. In this analysis, we look at several key global tanker routes for Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and Suezmax tankers, including the Persian Gulf-to-Asia route and the U.S. Gulf Coast-to-Europe route.

Nuclear plants reported few outages in the first three weeks of January 2026

Nuclear plants reported few outages in the first three weeks of January 2026

Between January 1, 2026, and January 21, 2026, nuclear power plant outages averaged 2.0 gigawatts (GW), 20% less than in the same period in 2025 and below the previous five-year range (2021–25) for 7 out of 21 days.

To set up Appium on your notebook, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

Operating System:
- Appium supports macOS, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Ensure your notebook runs one of these.
Node.js and NPM:
- Install Node.js (version in the SemVer range ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0).
- NPM (Node Package Manager) is usually bundled with Node.js, but you can upgrade it independently. Make sure your NPM version is >= 8.
Appium Installation:
- Install Appium globally using NPM:
```
npm install -g appium
```
Appium Server:
- Start the Appium server by running:
```
appium
```
- If you see output like “[Appium] Welcome to Appium v2.0.0,” the server is up and running ¹ ².
Additional Dependencies:
- To automate a specific platform (e.g., Android or iOS), refer to the documentation of the corresponding Appium driver(s) for any additional dependencies.
- Typically, you’ll need the developer toolchain and SDKs specific to the platform you’re testing ¹.

Remember to adapt the installation steps to your specific environment. Happy testing! 🚀📱

The disk space requirements for installing Appium, Node.js, and npm are relatively modest:

Appium:
- By itself, Appium is lightweight and doesn’t have significant disk space requirements.
- It can even run in resource-constrained environments like Raspberry Pi, as long as Node.js is available.
- No specific disk space quota is needed for Appium alone.
Node.js and npm:
- Node.js and npm are essential for running Appium.
- The installation of Node.js and npm doesn’t consume much disk space.
- However, ensure you have enough space for other development tools and dependencies.

In summary, a few gigabytes of free space should suffice for installing Appium, Node.js, and npm on your notebook. Happy testing! 🚀📱
