The state’s power grid is ready for the upcoming winter season, but more “long term” solutions are needed to ensure energy reliability, according to the heads...
“In the past 18 months, because we’ve had these reforms in place, we have avoided emergency conditions or blackouts eight times — we know the reforms are working, we’ve seen the results and we’re going to continue with those reforms,” Lake said.
“We’ve built out a map — a critical supply chain and critical infrastructure network — to make sure that the natural gas supply chain stays online at all times and to ensure that gas continues to flow to our generators,” Lake said. But the report also states that rolling blackouts would be possible if there is “extreme” energy demand — similar to February 2021 — given how much power generation is expected under “typical” conditions.
“Let me be clear that the actions that we’ve taken over this last year and a half position us as best as we have been to operate the grid reliably,” Vegas said. “We expect through the forecast and the likely scenarios that we’ll see over the course of this winter to be able to have enough supply to meet the reliability needs across the grid.”
