“CIP-015 acknowledges that adversaries can infiltrate trusted zones and highlights the importance of continuous internal visibility. By implementing Internal Network Security Monitoring, entities will be better equipped to detect an adversary during initial stages of an intrusion and reduce the risk of an adversary establishing a foothold.”

“While state procurement could be a useful price hedge for customers, it’s an open question how much it helps reliability if PJM is still in the role of meeting the reserve margin through its capacity auction.”

“Our new resource stack includes power purchase agreements, solar projects of our own, and what I believe is the largest distributed battery array in the country. We have deployed batteries across nine substations, ranging from 8 MW up to 33 MW.”

“General Nakasone, Chris Wray, and Rob Lee are all on the record. Tom Fanning has been at the vanguard within the utility sector. Bill Fehrman was also on record often. That really was the brain trust.”

“We have a lot of interest in data centers coming to West Virginia. Our legislature just passed the governor’s microgrid bill, which allows for new generation behind the meter with minimum regulation. But also, if the developer chooses, projects can connect to the utility.”

“This innovation allows us to move from reactive response to proactive prediction and prevention, safeguarding our communities, environment, and critical infrastructure that powers our lives. It’s a model for the nation.”

“Part of that planning is understanding the reliability impacts of future resource mixes. We want to make sure the plan we build is going to be reliable under a wide range of conditions the system might face.”

“The acquisition of Rayburn Energy Station marked our first major step into local, dispatchable natural gas generation, and the planned RES II expansion builds on that. These projects redefine what it means for a G&T cooperative to lead through reliability investment.”

“It’s been rewarding, seeing how the work in energy efficiency and in demand-side management is contributing to keeping the lights on in Ontario when grid demand is high.”

“This pilot showed that virtual power plants can evolve beyond simple peak-shaving into flexible, dispatchable assets that support grid reliability and affordability.”
