secure and scale an evolving fuel mix
How do we balance supply chains, weather extremes, generation gaps and sustainable energy independence?
The U.S. fuel mix to generators is under dramatic change. New weather, market, and policy risks to fuel supply are emerging rapidly. End-use customers, more than ever, demand onsite electricity solutions that rely on some form of distributed energy supply.
Join top industry experts and energy leaders as they tackle the real challenges and innovations shaping the fuel supply chain and power generation landscape.
Critical insights for energy leaders, policymakers, and future-forward thinkers.
In this discussion, panelists unpack the role of fuel supply in the grid of the future: what investment strategies may need repositioning, and how traditional and new industry players can share and co-manage risks to securing fuel supply to the grid’s bulk and distributed generation portfolio. Featuring Camilo Serna, SVP of Strategy and External Engagement at NERC; Melissa Alfano, Senior Director, Energy Markets and Counsel at SEIA; and Benton Arnett, Senior Director, Markets and Policy at NEI. Moderated by Mariko Geronimo Aydin, Senior Fellow and Chief Economist at The Earthshot Foundation.
The U.S. fuel mix for power generation is rapidly changing, with new weather, market, and policy risks emerging. Extreme weather events, such as the 2021 Texas winter storm, have exposed vulnerabilities in fuel supply, causing generator failures and widespread blackouts. As demand grows for onsite electricity solutions, there is increasing concern about the ability to secure reliable fuel for both traditional and newer energy technologies. Individual generators and customers cannot affordably mitigate extreme weather risks, leaving the industry searching for cohesive strategies to ensure fuel supply resilience.
The Fuel Supply session of the GRIDIRON Dialogues, co-hosted by NERC, will explore these issues with experts in generation planning, transmission systems, and climate analytics, focusing on investment strategies and risk-sharing in the evolving energy landscape.
