summer readiness
CAISO
California expects to meet its peak demand this summer under most weather conditions due to thousands of megawatts of new energy resources — almost all battery storage.
MISO
MISO cautioned it’s likely in for heat waves and drought this summer with a slight chance it navigates a 130-GW peak in July.
CPUC
California's grid is expected to meet peak demand this summer, with officials pointing to the massive growth in solar and storage resources as key.
NPCC
NPCC said all subregions should have adequate supply to meet demand this summer despite recent generation retirements.
WECC
Extreme heat in the Desert Southwest and low hydro in the Northwest could pose reliability problems for the Western Interconnection this summer, although the region doesn’t face an alarming risk for grid emergencies, WECC officials said.
NOAA
SPP says it will have enough generation to meet energy demand despite higher regional temperatures this summer, according to its biannual seasonal assessment.
SERC
SERC Reliability's Summer Reliability Assessment indicated all subregions have adequate resources to meet demand this summer.
NOAA
State energy officials are “cautiously optimistic” about maintaining grid reliability during the upcoming summer, with California poised to benefit from above-normal snowpack and precipitation coupled with the probability of mild conditions in its coastal regions.
NYISO
Stakeholders scolded NYISO for using the wrong figure in a press release on its summer capacity assessment, saying it suggested capacity margins would be tighter this summer than expected.
ERCOT
ERCOT’s latest capacity, demand and reserves report projects summer peak demand will increase to more than 97 GW by 2034.
