https://lnkd.in/eh2XnYem Once again, the delta between aspirational goals and operational realities is being exposed. At a time when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, grid operators (including PJM Interconnection, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), ISO New England Inc., and Southwest Power Pool), and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) are all saying we already have a reliability problem, these proposed rules make it more difficult to ensure adequate amounts of generation can be retained and added to the system to ensure reliability. Further, the layering on of significant load growth for the first time in a generation that will require all the MW we have and more (aka energy expansion) is real; we are walking headlong into an otherwise avoidable reliability crisis. We at Electric Power Supply Association continue to support efforts to reduce emissions and believe market-based approaches are the best, most efficient, and cost-effective way to deliver that outcome. But arbitrary compliance timelines and amounts of reductions without consideration of the operational impacts and in the face of blaring warnings will raise costs for consumers and threaten reliability - and that's unacceptable for energy users of all kinds. #reliability #power #emissions #energy

Love the deep dive into the challenges facing our energy reliability and expansion efforts. To spark innovative solutions, consider leveraging cross-industry collaboration workshops that focus on sharing robust energy management strategies and advanced predictive analytics to anticipate future challenges and opportunities.
I'll keep this in mind

2moReliability for the electric supply and delivery system have not been modeled correctly. The ability to provide CCS to a location is far from being viable, and the capital costs and additional station service for the CCS…. All are far from being viable or economical.
