  • WECC has released the 2025 Western Assessment of Resource Adequacy, an annual evaluation of resource adequacy over the coming decade. This year’s report finds that planned resource additions fall short of the forecast load in the Western Interconnection. Any delays or cancellations of projects would exacerbate the resource adequacy risk. Learn more about these challenges in this year’s Western Assessment.  

    Along with this year’s Western Assessment, WECC has launched the Resource Adequacy Information Center, a one-stop shop for all things resource adequacy in the Western Interconnection. This new tool features the Western Assessment and corresponding supplemental material, System Performance Data Portal, NERC assessments, and more.

  • WECC is proposing changes to the WECC Antitrust Policy applicable to WECC and WECC Members. WECC worked with NERC and the other Regional Entities on these revisions to ensure that our policies and guidelines are up to date and that our meetings and collaborations continue to adhere to antitrust best practices. WECC is now posting the proposed revisions for WECC Member comment. All WECC Member comments must be submitted by the Member's designated Member Representative and must be submitted by Monday, February 2. Please contact Chris Albrecht, WECC Assistant General Counsel, at [email protected] if you have any questions.
