WECC has released the 2024 Western Assessment of Resource Adequacy. This annual report evaluates resource adequacy risk over the next 10 years. This year’s report reveals a sharp rise in large loads, creating the need for unprecedented resource additions. This presents an incredible challenge to the West. Explore more here.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mary Rose Martinez has resigned from the WECC Board of Directors effective immediately. We are grateful for her desire to serve and wish her all the best.

NERC published a statement on the criticality of natural gas supply for winter electric system reliability, reflecting the need to prepare both critical infrastructure systems for the potential of extreme cold weather this winter.  WECC shares NERC's concern about maintaining sufficient natural gas supplies to address extreme winter conditions. As we approach this upcoming winter season, WECC encourages all entities to take necessary actions to prepare for extreme cold. For more conversations about best practices and how to mitigate reliability risk through the winter, please contact us at [email protected].

Now available! ​Catch the recording of NERC's Dynamic Webinar on Cold Weather Preparedness. Dive into crucial topics like winter readiness, fuel supply challenges, equipment vulnerabilities, and energy reliability strategies.

The spotlight will be on key actions to ensure winter resilience, including proper winterization of generation units, leveraging accurate short-term weather forecasts, and securing reliable fuel supplies for natural gas generation.

NERC's annual assessments – a long-term outlook and two seasonal reports – will also be highlighted. These comprehensive evaluations, spanning 20 key areas, provide critical insights for industry stakeholders, regulators, and government leaders alike.​
