Mark Lauby, NERC SVP and chief engineer, provides insights on the crucial role of grid-forming inverter technology in adapting to the rise of renewables chats on U.S. Energy Association's Power Sector podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=uYmss3…

Thank you, Coach Belichick.

This system continues to shape up as one of great concern with sub freezing temperatures across the US South in addition to bitter cold in the west/mid west. Take all appropriate steps to secure fuel and plant performance!

A 13-day formal comment period for Project 2021-07 Extreme Cold Weather #Grid Operations, #Preparedness , and Coordination | Phase 2, is open through January 22 for the following:

• EOP-012-2 – Extreme Cold Weather Preparedness and Operations

• Implementation Plan

I’m really excited that NARUC is going to take a hard look at these issues that are of increasing concern. Thanks for your leadership @fedorchak4PSC and Tricia Pridemore!

Our President @fedorchak4PSC (ND PSC) announced the Gas-Electric Alignment for Reliability at #NARUCANNUAL23 , an initiative to improve the reliability of & harmonize the #gas and #electric industries. GPSC Tricia Pridemore named chair. Press release: bit.ly/3QROYwd

Friday at Virginia Tech, NERC SVP and Chief Engineer Mark Lauby spoke on 'Planning and Operational Challenges on the Path to a Cleaner Future,” exploring strategies and technologies for integrating #renewables , #grid #resilience , and maintaining #reliability .

Winter outages are the worst to deal with and we’ve had significant winter events in 5 of the last 11 years. Need to winterize and prepare properly!

Jane Allen, NERC Board of Trustee member, and Johanne Picard-Thompson, Altalink’s EVP of Customer and Corporate Services, spoke at a women’s networking breakfast at #GridSecCon2023 . The three-day grid #security conference is hosted by NERC, the E-ISAC, and NPCC.

This was a great panel with diverse perspectives but all aligned around navigating the transition reliably -- always comforting for the 'Reliability Guy' to hear :-D! Thanks for inviting me to contribute PJM Interconnection

Well this is sobering… we need to collectively get ahead of these issues instead of playing catch up. Time to move on the Standards efforts to specify the performance requirements for inverters… of all shapes and sizes

Agreed! Always great to engage with you, Manu PJM Interconnection , and the whole public power community. And to think you have an Elvis (the older, pudgier Elvis) picture in your home office! You learn something every day!

A very sobering assessment of last December’s winter storm, multiple near misses. Underscores the importance and urgency of our work on winterization requirements and hopefully motivates a meaningful rethink of gas-electric interface issues

It is a privilege to work with the UNECE Committee for Sustainable Energy — a great opportunity to learn and to contribute!

Agreed! I thought last week’s event was excellent and a pleasure to share the dias with you. Thanks to @spporg for hosting such a great discussion!

Back at the UN for the annual Committee for Sustainable Energy meetings and an exciting preview for the Committee’s work to develop an AI-based platform for Resilient Energy Systems, a much needed resource for decision makers and policy makers around the region!
