Power, markets, flexible RA,and the money behind the grid
GRID · Section
Reliability, resource adequacy, and the transmission buildout — how the physical grid keeps up with demand.
GRID
MISO wants FERC to let it study very large loads and their paired generation together in 120 days — in exchange for a 15-year lock that turns a connection request into a long-term commitment.
GRID
A four-day federal emergency order lets PJM dispatch specified units and, as a last resort, call on backup generation — a sign that tight conditions are no longer confined to summer peaks.
GRID
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would force FERC to set standards for interregional transmission planning — the tier of the grid that has never been planned at all.
GRID
EIA's October outlook projects record U.S. electricity consumption of 4,288 terawatt-hours in 2026 — and every resource-adequacy calculation in the country sits downstream of that number.
GRID
Reconductoring, dynamic line ratings, and storage-as-transmission: how to add grid capacity without waiting a decade for new lines.
GRID
Terawatts of generation are waiting years to connect to the grid. The queue is where energy ambitions meet transmission reality.
GRID
Everyone agrees the grid needs more transmission. Almost no one can build it quickly. Here's why.
GRID
Grid planners built the system for the weather they knew. The weather they know is no longer the weather they get.
GRID
Reliability is about the everyday; resilience is about the extreme. Confusing the two leads to bad planning and bad spending.
GRID
The three metrics that answer the grid's most basic question: will we have enough power when we need it?
GRID
Why 60 hertz is the grid's heartbeat, and how operators defend it every second of the day.
GRID
Three jobs, one machine: where power is made, how it travels, and who runs each part.
