SERC Reliability Corporation’s Post

⚡ The 2024 NERC Long-Term Reliability Assessment reveals that over half of North America is at elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls in the next 5 to 10 years. By 2025, MISO is projected to face significant resource adequacy risks due to insufficient new generation to offset retirements and demand growth. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as the second most predominant resource in interconnection queues. By reducing grid variability, supporting renewable energy integration, and providing essential services like frequency response, BESS is proving to be a vital tool in addressing these challenges. At EVO Power, we’re committed to supporting regions like MISO with scalable BESS solutions designed to enhance grid reliability while advancing renewable energy goals.

As we work to clear the backlog of generation interconnections and accelerate the integration of new energy sources into the grid, it’s crucial to address the challenges of meeting growing demand. Lessons from managing generation interconnections should be applied to large load projects, such as data centers and transportation electrification, to prevent the creation of additional load backlogs.

The Next Decade for #NorthAmerica Power Grid (2025-2034) The #energysector is on the brink of transformative challenges as highlighted in the 2024 NERC's Long-Term Reliability Assessment. Below are key highlights from the report 1. With electrification, including #EVs and #heatpumps, summer #peakdemand is expected to rise by 15%, and winter peak demand by 18%—the sharpest growth in two decades. 2. Nearly 78 GW of confirmed #generator #retirements by 2034 leave #reservemargins thin, heightening risks during extreme weather events. 3. #SolarPV and #batteries dominate new additions, but their weather-dependent nature challenges consistent output. The grid's ability to deliver essential reliability services (like frequency and voltage support) is under pressure. 4. While 28,275 miles of new #transmissionlines are planned, permitting and siting delays hinder progress, threatening the interregional energy transfers critical for handling shortfalls. 5. #MISO faces critical shortfalls by 2025 due to generator retirements outpacing resource additions. 6. Regions like #ERCOT, #NewEngland, and #California confront growing risks from extreme weather, resource variability, and infrastructure constraints.

Trends identified in NERC’s 2024 Long-Term #Reliability Assessment (LTRA) highlight critical reliability challenges that industry is facing over the next 10 years: satisfying escalating #energy growth, managing generator retirements and removing barriers to resource and transmission development. As a result, well over half of North America is at elevated or high #risk of energy shortfalls over the next 5 to-10 years. https://ow.ly/yOR350UsUXO

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)'s Long Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA) is a great resource for students and educators to discuss the differences and similarities for the growing electrical demands in various parts of North America.

NERC, Midwest Reliability Organization, ReliabilityFirst Corporation, and SERC Reliability Corporation recently hosted a webinar for state policymakers that focused on how to improve inverter-based resource (IBR) reliability and detailed NERC's strategy to address #IBR risks, highlighting the pivotal role of state regulators and policymakers in shaping energy policy and ensuring #power grid reliability. NERC noted that IBRs make up a growing segment of North America's resource mix. Over recent years, NERC and the ERO Enterprise tracked several large-scale disturbances causing widespread IBR power loss. Following FERC’s direction, NERC is developing new and revised Reliability Standards to prevent IBRs from tripping offline during grid disturbances.
