11.13.24 - New York’s Electric Grid Prepared to Meet Winter Demand
Adequate supplies are in place to meet electricity demand under forecasted conditions for the coming winter according to the New York Independent System Operator's (NYISO) annual assessment, which also highlights future concerns, including declining reliability margins and fuel availability to the generation fleet.
“The findings of our annual assessment show adequate resources to serve electric demand this winter,” said Aaron Markham, Vice President of Operations for the New York Independent System Operator. “However, disruptions in fuel supplies to generators could result in operational challenges, especially during extreme winter weather conditions.”
