Episode 8 - Understanding Resource Adequacy w/ Tom Rutigliano, the Sustainable FERC Project

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Elena and Pete welcome Tom Rutigliano, a senior advocate at the Sustainable FERC Project. Tom is part of a coalition of environmental groups housed under the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) that presses for solutions that make our grid more resilient, lower costs, and protect the environment.

    Tom’s views on resource adequacy highlight the importance of ensuring that the power grid is reliable and secure at all times. He suggests that resource adequacy needs to be updated to reflect the changing energy landscape, accounting for the growth of renewables and energy storage technologies. By doing so, we can move towards a more sustainable and resilient grid capable of delivering clean and reliable energy to all.
