After decades of relatively stable energy demand, forecasted load growth – driven primarily by data center development – is at its highest level in the past two decades.
Across the U.S., soaring demand is straining available capacity and inflating prices. Simultaneously, grid operators are facing a growing gap between their system’s installed nameplate capacity and the accredited capacity resources can deliver during the highest-risk hours.
Electricity demand is rising and traditional dispatchable generation is retiring. As renewables grow, nameplate megawatts no longer tell the whole story. Capacity accreditation shows what resources can truly deliver during peak and risk hours. Join Matthew Fioretti, Senior Manager, Market Development, Wärtsilä North America, Zoe Parker, Senior Regulatory Policy Analyst, Wärtsilä North America and Utility Dive for a webinar that outlines technology solutions that provide dependable accredited capacity.
