SUMMARY:Webinar: Evaluating Extreme Energy Adequacy Risk Using REST
DESCRIPTION:Download the Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJinye Zhao\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: Jinye Zhao\, Technical Manager\, ISO New England \n\n\n\nModerator: Erik Ela\, Director of System Operation and Electricity Markets\, ESIG \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar:  As the New England power system increasingly depends on renewable and energy-limited resources\, assessing reliability during extreme conditions has become critically important. ISO New England has introduced the Regional Energy Shortfall Threshold (REST)\, the first metric in the United States designed specifically to measure energy adequacy under extremes. REST offers a transparent\, probabilistic standard for evaluating the likelihood and severity of tail-end energy shortfall risks that traditional metrics cannot capture. This presentation will provide an overview of the REST framework and highlight the Probabilistic Energy Adequacy Tool (PEAT)\, the analytical engine used to quantify the metric. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Jinye Zhao is a Technical Manager in the Advanced Technology Solutions Department at ISO New England. She leads projects involving multidisciplinary teams\, applying advanced analytics to address complex challenges in power systems. With more than 15 years of experience in the energy industry\, she has extensive expertise in risk management\, market design and the integration of emerging technologies. Jinye has played a key role in developing the Regional Energy Shortfall Threshold (REST) and Probabilistic Energy Adequacy Tool (PEAT)\, advancing New England’s capability to assess energy adequacy under extreme conditions. Jinye holds a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics and actively collaborates with academic and industry partners. She is committed to using innovative approaches to help power systems adapt to a rapidly evolving energy landscape. \n\n\n\nThe Q&A for this session will be facilitated on Slido.

SUMMARY:i2X STITCH Meeting 2: Regional Study Processes
DESCRIPTION:Download June 23 presentations\n\n\ndownload q&a responses \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nESIG in collaboration with Berkeley Lab\, is facilitating Studies\, Tools and Interconnection Consistency and Harmonization Meetings (STITCH) as part of the DOE’s Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) initiative.  The i2X STITCH initiative is intended to explore interconnection studies across the US and identify ways where harmonization and automations can help improve the speed and reliability of new generation resource interconnections. The effort will consist of a sequence of collaboration meetings with industry stakeholders and subject matter experts to dive into each region and explore their practices\, which will serve as a reference for a technical report on this topic that will lay out areas for harmonization improvements. \n\n\n\nThe format of the meetings will include presentations followed by structured discussions around differences and harmonization opportunities. Presenters will be asked to cover a similar set of topics to ensure they cover interconnection process milestones\, study methods and assumptions\, pre-interconnection and study tools and automations\, etc. \n\n\n\nJune 23\, 2026: Regional Study Processes \n\n\n\nMeeting Introduction: Julia Matevosyan\, ESIGMISO Interconnection Study Process: Alyssa Hickey\, MISODeveloper Perspective on MISO Interconnection Study Process: Vish Sankaran\, EngieERCOT Interconnection Study Process: Jenifer Fernandes\, ERCOTDeveloper Perspective on ERCOT Interconnection Study Process: Vish Sankaran\, EngieAudience Q&A and Discussion

SUMMARY:Webinar: EV Load Forecasting Guide
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: Greg Mandelman\, Director of Analytics & Energy Programs\, Electric Power Engineers (EPE) \n\n\n\nGreg Mandelman\n\n\n\nModerator: Matt Schuerger\, Senior Fellow\, ESIG \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar: Forecasting for EV charging loads is unlike any forecasting exercise utilities\, regulators\, and stakeholders have tackled for before — it’s mobile\, shaped by human behavior\, and can concentrate quickly enough to strain local distribution systems without proper planning. With light-duty EV market share growing from 2% to over 10% between 2020 and 2025\, robust forecasting has become essential to avoiding both costly over-builds and unprepared grids. This webinar introduces ESIG’s recently released EV Load Forecasting Guide\, which distills input from industry experts\, regulators\, and subject matter interviews into 20 best practices spanning how to scope\, implement\, review\, and apply an EV load forecast. Join the experts behind the Guide for a practical walkthrough of the framework and how to put it to work in your jurisdiction. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Greg Mandelman brings over 15 years of leadership in utility\, software\, and consulting\, with deep expertise in transportation electrification\, load forecasting\, Time-Varying Pricing (TVP)\, and Demand Response (DR). At EPE\, Greg leads the development and deployment of the Utility Practice’s forecasting\, modeling\, and analytics solutions. Over the course of his career\, Greg has led groundbreaking projects on zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption\, charging infrastructure forecasting\, and grid impact analysis\, leveraging advanced analytics to drive innovation. His work has shaped industry-leading solutions in electrification\, grid planning\, and data-driven energy strategies\, earning recognition as a trusted expert in the energy sector. \n\n\n\nThe Q&A for this session will be facilitated on Slido.
