Western states must work more closely to prevent capacity shortfalls and the type of energy crisis that roiled the region 20 years ago.

With COVID-19 threatening to overwhelm hospitals, WECC is in no hurry to bring employees back to its headquarters, CEO Melanie Frye said.

The Western Interconnection Regional Advisory Board recounted its accomplishments in 2020 and laid out what it hopes to achieve in 2021.

A discussion on diversity in the energy industry, hosted by CREPC-WIRAB, delved into resource adequacy and the potential for a Western RTO.

Advisers to Western state governors briefed stakeholders on the Western Interconnection Regional Electricity Dialogue (WIRED) initiative.

FERC accepted proposed revisions to seven NERC reliability standards, as well as the ERO Enterprise's business plans and budget for 2021.

The creation of a Western RTO could save the region more than $1.2 billion annually in electric costs, according to a new study.

CAISO, SPP and BC Hydro officials reassured FERC that the Western Interconnection’s transition from two reliability coordinators to five is going smoothly.
