WIRAB submitted advice to the WECC Board of Directors on setting strategic priorities through WECC’s Strategic Planning Process. In the advice, WIRAB recommended that the WECC Board adopt (1) the Changing Resource Mix, (2) the Increasing Complexity in Protection and Control Systems, and (3) the Loss of Situational Awareness as Near-Term Priorities for 2019-2021. WIRAB also recommended that the WECC Board adopt a set of Action Items that will serve to guide WECC in its efforts to mitigate specific risks within each of the Near-Term Priorities. WIRAB suggested that each Action Item include “who” is tasked with completing the work; “what” is to be completed or delivered; and “when” the item is to be completed, but leave “how” these actions are accomplished up to WECC management and the WECC Standing Committees.
