State Collaboration
An independent, objective resource
ReliabilityFirst strives to be an objective resource for our state stakeholders on reliability issues as they evaluate and implement energy policies. We are meeting with state legislators, public utility commissioners, energy offices, and governors’ offices to provide expertise and answer questions, and shine a light on emerging reliability and security risks. As a regulator of the electric utility industry, with experts in power system engineering, control room operations, planning, and cyber and physical security, we are an independent, credible resource for state policy makers to rely upon. We are available to discuss or testify on reliability and security issues of importance to you. Topics that we have presented on include:
- The grid transformation
- Resource adequacy assessments
- Transmission planning
- Essential reliability services
- Inverter based resources
- Event analysis
- Cyber and physical security
- System resilience and restoration
