Description (excerpt):
This 2022 LTRA is the ERO’s independent assessment and comprehensive report on the adequacy of planned BPS resources to reliably meet the electricity demand across North America over the next ten years. This 2022 LTRA also identifies reliability trends, emerging issues, and potential risks that could impact the long-term reliability, resilience, and security of the BPS.
The findings in this 2022 LTRA are vitally important to understand the reliability risks to the North American BPS as it is currently planned and as it is being shaped by government policies, regulations, consumer preferences, and economic factors. Energy systems and the electricity grid are undergoing unprecedented change on a scope, scale, and speed that challenges the ability to foresee—and design for—their future states. This report contains future energy sufficiency metrics that serve as guideposts for the reliability of the North American electric grid on its current trajectory. It also describes the relevant trends that are propelling the grid’s transformation and have the potential to alter the ability of the BPS to service the energy needs of communities and industries in North America.
