Speakers at a Texas RE webinar said new nuclear reactor designs offer significant benefits in safety and reliability.

Members of the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative urged regulators and policymakers not to rely solely on NERC's ITCS to guide transmission planning.

To build a reliable, affordable and clean electric power system, the U.S. energy industry and customers will need to shift their thinking about what a reliable system looks like, according to a study from nonprofit think tank Energy Innovation Policy & Technology.

A new study from Duke University says the existing power system could handle much of the demand growth expected in the coming years with no additional generation if artificial intelligence data centers can be persuaded to cut their energy use by as little as 1% during times of peak demand.

A representative of Texas RE emphasized that NERC plans to build on last year's Interregional Transfer Capability Study.

In its Winter Reliability Assessment, SERC Reliability said several of its subregions have high or elevated risk of energy shortfalls during extreme conditions.

A recent NERC report discussed the potential reliability challenges associated with load loss from data centers.

NERC has submitted for FERC's approval two standards that would require balancing authorities to perform regular energy reliability assessments.

NERC is calling on grid operators to prepare for extreme winter weather predicted in the first weeks of January.

NERC warned in its 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment that most of the electric grid faces potential energy shortfalls beginning as early as next year.
