Webinar: Analyzing Resource Adequacy Across the Eastern Interconnect Using GridPath
July 1 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Featured Speakers: Derek Stenclik, Founding Partner, Telos Energy; Sam Hostetter, Senior Power System Analyst, Telos Energy
Webinar Abstract: This webinar will present key findings from a wide-area resource adequacy assessment of the Eastern Interconnection using the open-source GridPath platform. The study, conducted by GridLab and Telos Energy, evaluates the role of interregional transmission in mitigating loss of load risk across diverse regions under varying system conditions. Results highlight how coordinated planning and regional diversity can enhance reliability, particularly in the face of resource retirements and growing weather-driven risk. The session will also discuss policy and planning implications for resource adequacy programs and transmission development.
