Jenga or not – Is our Power Grid Ready? - Reevaluating the Hardening of our Electrical Grid as we move toward renewable and sustainable energy generation

Description and Background: We have spent a century hardening our traditional electrical grid assessing potential issues and taking strategic actions to proactively mitigate these risks. As we move to more renewable and sustainable energy generation alternatives, we must also re-evaluate what it means to “harden” the new grid. From decreasing dispatchable loads and increased requirements for distribution, to aging transformers and supply chain delays what can we do to make sure our electrical grid is ready for the future of energy.

Reviewing the current electrical grid and what steps we are taking and can take to ensure that we are prepared for the change in power generation and distribution needs
