MISO report out - Some highlights worth people paying attention to regarding grid reliability: “There are immediate and serious challenges to the reliability of our region’s electric grid … the transition that is underway to get to a decarbonized end state is posing material, adverse challenges to electric reliability.” “A key risk is that many existing ‘dispatchable’ resources that can be turned on and off and adjusted as needed are being replaced with weather-dependent resources such as wind and solar that have materially different characteristics and capabilities.” “Incremental load growth due to electric vehicles and other aspects of electrification is exerting new pressure on the grid.” “While electricity demand has been flat for many years, it is expected to increase due to the electrification of other sectors of the economy.” “While wind and solar produce needed clean energy, they lack certain key reliability attributes that are needed to keep the grid reliable every hour of the year.” Some energy sources are not 'like for like'. #EnergyStorage

Devastated by back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico’s grid was severely damaged in 2017. Since then, LUMA Energy has been on a mission to rebuild the country’s grid as a more reliable, more resilient, and cleaner energy system.
