  • Each year, the Nominating Committee (NC) conducts an extensive search to nominate candidates for election by WECC Members to WECC’s Board of Directors. This year, the election was conducted May 12–June 6. We are pleased to announce that two candidates for director positions were elected: Jim Avery, who was re-elected as a director, and Jacinda Woodward, who was elected as a new director. Their terms will commence September 18 at the end of the Annual Member meeting.

    Further, WECC received feedback from some member representatives that the language in the May ballot was unclear as to how many candidates could be elected. For this reason, WECC will re-ballot one of the vacant seats. The NC has unanimously nominated Deneen DeFiore, who has extensive experience in cybersecurity and information technology, to fill this critical gap on the Board. 

    This will be balloted in conjunction with the annual elections for MAC class representatives, expected to be sent to member representatives on August 4. For questions, please contact Brittany Huggins. 

  • WECC is pleased to release the 2025 Summer Reliability Overview: Western Interconnection, a West-focused supplement to the recently released NERC Summer Reliability Assessment. This overview provides a summary of conditions affecting the 2025 summer operating season and high-level findings from the NERC Summer Reliability Assessment specific to the Western Interconnection.  

  • WECC’s Section 4.9 Review Work Group has engaged in a comprehensive review of WECC’s Bylaws to ensure that the Bylaws continue to align with WECC’s purpose as a Regional Entity under Section 215 of the Federal Power Act. A draft of the proposed revised Bylaws is now available for stakeholder review and comment until the close of business on June 20, 2025. To facilitate stakeholder review and comment, the Section 4.9 Work Group has prepared a table summarizing the most significant proposed revisions. (Note that this table does not identify all the proposed revisions.) To further facilitate review and comment, we are also posting a full redline that shows all of the revisions being proposed.

  • WECC has released the 2025 State of the Interconnection. This annual report provides a high-level look at reliability issues throughout the Western Interconnection over the recent past and near future. Among the issues examined are load growth, significant generation resource additions, cybersecurity and physical security events, extreme natural events, energy emergency alerts, and more.
