A large portion of North America is at risk of insufficient energy supplies during peak winter conditions this year, U.S. and Canadian regulators at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, or NERC, said on Thursday.
, regulators said the reliability concerns are driven by higher peak demand projections and inadequate generator weatherization, as well as low fuel supply risks and limitations to natural gas infrastructure.
“Our emerging renewable fleet is fully dependent on how sunny or how windy it is,” John Moura, NERC’s director of reliability assessment and performance analysis, told reporters Thursday.“We don't have large-scale storage solutions [yet] — so as we transition our system from predominantly coal, nuclear, and gas generation to more renewable and weather-dependent resources, we need to ensure reliability, even on the days when the weather isn't quite cooperating,” he said.
Concerns are particularly high in the Midwest, regulators said. Reserve margins for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, or MISO, have fallen by 5% from last year due largely to retirements of thermal, nuclear, and coal-fired generators and insufficient replacement capacity to meet increasing demand.
