NEMA Releases Grid Reliability Study

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has released its new study on grid reliability, “A Reliable Grid for an Electric Future”, which focuses on challenges we face with electric demand, consumption and production over the next 25 years. The study highlights U.S. electricity demand outlook to 2050 and outlines technology and policy solutions to meet demand growth. Two key drivers behind the demand will be data centers and EV charging. To prioritize grid reliability and ensure our electrical infrastructure can adapt to surging demand and the integration of renewable energy, we can’t build capacity fast enough. We need to invest in a suite of innovative near-term technologies to meet demand growth and prioritize policy and regulatory certainty to deliver a reliable and affordable energy system. makeitelectric.org Study at: pa-nema-grid-flexibility-study.pdf
