SUMMARY:Large Loads Task Force: Kick-off Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownloading Q&A Responses \n\nLarge electrical loads\, such as AI and other data centers\, hydrogen production facilities\, and EV fleet charging centers\, may present new challenges for the electric power industry. Utility planners face difficulties in forecasting demand\, transmission planners struggle to build infrastructure at the required pace\, and system operators must address grid stability risks caused by large loads disconnecting during faults. Meanwhile\, large load developers grapple with slow and complex interconnection processes\, stringent reliability requirements\, and limited access to wholesale markets and real-time pricing. \nTo address these challenges\, the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) is launching a Large Loads Task Force (LLTF) to unite stakeholders\, identify practical solutions\, and develop harmonized practices that ensure reliable and efficient grid integration while supporting industry growth. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Meta are helping to fund this effort. \nThe LLTF will kick off with a webinar on December 17th\, which will outline the scope\, format\, and deliverables of the task force\, as well as introduce the leadership team. \nThe event agenda covers the focus areas of ESIG’s LLTF eight specialized project teams (see more detail on each project team here): \n\nOpening remarks and background for this TF – Sam Morris\, ERCOT\nData collection and load forecasting topic – Julietta Giraldez\, EPE\nInterconnection process – Kyle Thomas\, Elevate Energy Consulting\nInterconnection requirements – Ahmed Rashwan\, EPE\nModeling requirements – Parag Mitra\, EPRI\nMarket aspects – Erik Ela\, EPRI\nTransmission planning – James Okullo\, ESIG\nResource Adequacy aspects – Derek Stenclik\, Telos Energy\nESIG LLTF Logistics and Q&A – facilitated by Julia Matevosyan\, ESIG\n\nNEXT STEPS:\nIf you are interested in participating\, please complete the survey and select the key area(s) most relevant to your expertise and interests. Detailed descriptions of skills and expertise sought for each project team can be found here. \n**Note** Participation in ESIG Task Forces is limited to ESIG members.\nHowever\, all final reports will be publicly available on the ESIG website and disseminated through workshops and webinars. All current members can be found here. All employees of member organizations are eligible to participate in member activities. \nIf you’re interested in becoming a member of ESIG\, reach out to ryan@esig.energy for more information.
