The Western Interstate Energy Board is pleased to host the final installment of our webinar series through our Reserve Expenditure Plan, examining the challenges and opportunities presented by new large industrial electricity loads across the Western Interconnection.
Please register for the webinar here.
For this session in WIEB’s Large Loads webinar series, we will explore how different entities are approaching the sequencing and prioritization of large-load requests when near-term system capability is constrained.
- WECC will provide a regional view of how and where large loads are appearing in the Western interconnection and where system pressures are emerging,
- A utility perspective will examine the practical challenges of serving major new demand while maintaining reliability and affordability, and
- A provincial perspective from British Columbia will discuss how policymakers are approaching prioritization decisions when not every request can be accommodated at once.
