To all,
I heard about the potential for elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls this summer at a two-day Energy Workshop last week in Madison. Per the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the area of highest concern is an area that includes Wisconsin which is in a “High Risk” area. Wisconsin is part of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) area -see attached.
Per NERC’s 2022 Summer Reliability Assessment, they warn that “several parts of North America are at elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls this summer due to predicted above-normal temperatures and drought conditions over the western half of the United States and Canada. These above-average seasonal temperatures contribute to high peak demands as well as potential increases in forced outages for generation and some bulk power system equipment. “
