130: 'Grid Reliability in the Hot Seat with FERC's Summer Energy Report' with Bentley's Brad Johnson

With the publication of FERC's 2023 Summer Energy Market and Electric Reliability Assessment, grid reliability is being studied at an unprecedented level. And given the strain that current summer conditions have already demonstrated, this topic is one that utility officials everywhere are tuning into. The FERC reports highlight both positive and concerning aspects of the grid's capacity to meet summer demand, with a particular focus on the razor's edge of insufficient baseload generation supply in various parts of the country. To help the Energy Central Community best understand how the report goes beyond mere power supply concerns and examines other factors that can compromise grid reliability, this episode features Brad Johnson, the Senior Product Portfolio Manager for Energy at Bentley Systems. With his diverse and proven background in the industry and his current role at Bentley Systems, Brad offers a comprehensive 360-degree view of the challenges facing the grid. In this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, Brad shares with host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester the critical insights from FERC's report and his perspective to help us all gain a deeper understanding of the pressing issues impacting grid reliability in today's ever-evolving energy landscape.
