Forbes – Adding To The Utility Belt: Tools Powering Grid Resiliency
Energy risks are growing across the United States and Canada, including several areas in jeopardy of energy supply shortfalls amid extreme weather patterns. This is a key warning in the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC) 2024 Summer Reliability Assessment. While NERC’s assessment found that generation resources and transmission systems are generally adequate to meet peak summer demands, the report also identified several risks that continue to affect grid operators.
As temperatures soar from the effects of climate change, energy demand escalates and the urgency to find solutions accelerates. Grid operators are in critical need of long-term strategies that ensure the reliability and resilience of their systems, not just during the summer’s peak, but consistently throughout the year.
