2025.08.19 | Crisis Point: NERC's Urgent Warning to Rethink the Grid Amidst Unprecedented Shifts
This episode dives into NERC's urgent 2025 reliability risk report, which identifies six major themes challenging the bulk power system and demands a fundamental rethinking of traditional planning and operating approaches. Key regulatory shifts are underway, including new IRS guidance eliminating the 5% safe harbor for clean energy tax credits and FERC's approval of cost allocation methods for plants ordered to stay online, effectively institutionalizing a federal reliability "must-run" framework. The discussion also covers growing pressures from new large loads like data centers, with recommendations for them to supply their own generation, EPA concerns about battery energy storage system safety, and...

In this episode of DirectConnect, Steve Parker and Stacy Bresler, Managing Partners at Archer, take a closer look at why inverter-based resources are suddenly on the radar.As the energy grid evolves, Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs)—like solar, wind, and battery systems—are playing a bigger role. But unlike traditional synchronous generators, IBRs interact with the grid differently, creating new reliability and cybersecurity challenges. Their rapid integration has caught the attention of regulators and operators who now recognize the urgent need for updated standards, visibility, and controls to ensure grid stability. IBRs aren’t just the future—they’re a curre...

Dziewczyny się spotykają [rozmowa z Olą Nerc]
Kobiety, zwłaszcza kobiety, potrzebują takiego miejsca, w którym mogą się wspólnie spotkać, pogadać, opowiedzieć o swoich problemach z poczuciem pewności, że są w pełni zaakceptowane. Kobiety mają taką naturalną potrzebę, by się integrować, rozmawiać i przebywać razem. Dobrą okazją do takich spotkań są np. konferencje chrześcijańskie, na które zawsze licznie przyjeżdżają kobiety z różnych stron Polski, ale tego typu imprezy z reguły mają miejsce tylko raz, dwa w roku. Ola Nerc, gość tego podcastu, prowadzi inicjatywę "Dziewczyny się spotykają". Ola opowiada, jak kilka lat temu została zainspirowana, by stworzyć taką bezpieczną...

109. Former FERC Commissioner Says ‘Market Design Problem’ a Cause of 2021 Texas Power Crisis
In February 2021, a severe cold weather event, known as Winter Storm Uri, caused numerous power outages, derates, or failures to start at electric generating plants scattered across Texas and the south-central U.S. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages the power supply for about 90% of the load in Texas, ordered a total of 20,000 MW of rolling blackouts in an effort to prevent grid collapse. According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), this was “the largest manually controlled load shedding event in U.S. history.” More than 4.5 million people in Texas lost power—some for as long as fou...
