The energy expansion requires innovation and deployment of new technologies to provide dispatchable electricity supporting other clean energy technologies. Carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, small modular reactor nuclear technology, and fusion energy show promise while natural gas generation continues its essential role.
Read MoreCompetitive power suppliers are committed to electric reliability and improving operations to keep the lights on during winter storms and other extreme weather events, said the head of the organization representing power generators providing about 150,000 MW of electric generation capacity throughout the U.S.
Read MoreAs extreme heat swept across the United States this summer, more than half of the country’s population was under excessive heat warnings or advisories in July. As the summer comes to a close, we look back on reliability challenges faced by the U.S. power system—a reminder that dispatchable generation, including natural gas, is still needed to keep the grid running.
Read MorePower demand in the U.S. is projected to increase in the coming years as the economy electrifies, putting more pressure on the grid. Discover how electric reliability is measured and why policymakers must prioritize it.
Read MoreAmericans want policymakers to do more to safeguard the reliability of our electric grid, according to a new poll conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of the Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA), the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers.
Read MoreElectric power suppliers say key actions to improve coordination between the gas and electric sectors will help resolve both emerging and longstanding challenges and help ensure reliable service. EPSA provided guidance Monday to the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB).
