ACORE Urges FERC to Prioritize Transmission Solutions to Address Resource Adequacy Challenges
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long ahead of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC’s) Commissioner-led Technical Conference Regarding the Challenge of Resource Adequacy in RTO and ISO Regions:
“ACORE is encouraged by FERC’s efforts in convening this week’s technical conference on resource adequacy, an incredibly important topic given worsening weather events and explosive demand growth. We need a grid that’s resilient to the weather. And we need a grid that can enable the U.S. to win the AI race against China.
We urge the Commission and participating panelists to take a holistic view of meeting reliability needs, which requires fully valuing each generation type and acknowledging the important role of transmission and cost-effective technologies that maximize the existing system. Grid-enhancing technologies and high-performance conductors offer near-term capacity expansion options to help ensure resource adequacy, while new regional and interregional powerlines are planned and built to ensure reliable, affordable power for decades to come.”
Check out ACORE’s comments filed with FERC here.
FERC will host the two-day technical conference June 4-5 at FERC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event is open to the public to attend in person or virtually.

Looks like communism! is the new mantra of the GOP. It’s coming from the least intelligent of their leaders to the least intelligent of their followers.
Could work!
What Obama says at left is a reminder that life in on Earth is tough enough without the planet’s most nation being led by a criminal sociopath.
As previously mentioned, it’s good to see the rising popularity of astrophysicist Dr. Brian Cox.
In this video, he explains that life on Earth is about 4 billion years old, but for the first 3 billion, there was nothing more complicated than single celled organisms. He suggests that this may be the reason that civilizations are rare in the universe, i.e., that they’re only around for the blink of an eye in terms of geologic time.
To me, it also makes one wonder why it took God 3 billion years to create the first multicelled form of life.
