Resource Adequacy Fundamentals and Emerging Trends - 2026 Tuesday, October 13 (2pm) - Thursday, October 15, 2026 (4pm US/Eastern)

NARUC Professional Development
Track: Electricity

Resource adequacy examines the likelihood of having sufficient electricity resources to meet demand. It is a fundamental component of reliability assessed by NERC. The deployment of solar, wind, and energy storage resources, as well as increasing demand for data centers, other large loads, and power plant retirements, is raising concerns about electricity shortages. Resource adequacy analysts are adapting their models and methodologies to reflect these issues, raising policy implications that energy regulators must understand and address. Resource Adequacy Fundamentals and Emerging Trends provides students with an understanding of the fundamental assumptions, modeling methodologies, and interpretation of results of resource adequacy studies. It also explores emerging issues, including rapid increases in electricity demand, the integration of large amounts of renewables and energy storage, and how resource adequacy contributes to the overall reliability and resilience of the grid.
