Taskforce on Gas-Electric Alignment for Reliability (GEAR)

Gas-Electric Alignment for Reliability (GEAR) is chartered for a period of fifteen (15) months, as of this 21st day of November 2023. GEAR is a working group that will bring together state regulators and industry representatives to develop solutions to better align the gas and electric industries to maintain and improve the reliability of the gas and electric energy systems on which our nation depends for power. GEAR intends to gather regulator and industry stakeholder feedback and recommend solutions to better harmonize communication protocols, operations and planning of the gas and electric systems and markets. Findings from the North American Energy Standards Board Gas-Electric Harmonization Forum, the Reliability Alliance Report developed by NGSA, INGAA and EPSA, and the analyses of Storms Uri and Elliott by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, will serve as a starting point for the working group.
