The first step in the new FERC proceeding was to ask the RTOs/ISOs (grid operators) to respond to 25 questions. We thought you might be interested in what these grid operators had to say. This is our takeaway from their comments: ISO-NE has a fuel-security problem because of the region's dependence on natural gas and the retirement of coal and nuclear generating capacity. PJM supports further steps by FERC to address grid resilience. MISO, SPP and ERCOT basically said their grids are resilient. (Note: They said this even though there is no universally agreed-on definition of resilience, nor criteria or metrics for determining whether a grid is resilient. This is part of the reason why FERC initiated the new proceeding.) The attached blog provides a few excerpts from the 295 pages of comments filed by the five grid operators.
