Dispatchable energy resources like natural gas are crucial for grid reliability due to increasing electricity demand and the retirement of traditional power plants.
Authored by Todd Snitchler via RealClearEnergy, At meetings of energy regulators, policymakers, consumer advocates, and industry this summer, the content and tone of the conversations around electric system reliability have changed dramatically. Executives from across the industry all agree that dispatchable generation is needed now and will be needed for many years to come.
Recognizing the problem is the first step in solving it. Because all resources are now accountable for reliability, including dispatchable, intermittent, and storage resources, the requirement to acknowledge and adapt to grid realities is no longer optional – it’s mission critical. The retirement of significant amounts of dispatchable resources without adequate replacements has pushed us ever closer to a system with zero margin of error.
