Energy News Network: The latest fuel security plan by grid operator PJM isn’t likely to help the region avoid or bounce back from interruptions caused by extreme weather and other threats, critics say.
The plan errs by placing its focus on preventing fuel supply disruptions at larger power plants and ignores the potential resiliency benefits of fuel-free, distributed generation such as wind and solar, clean energy advocates said.
“If anything, PJM should do a study on why it does not have a higher penetration of wind and solar,” said attorney and energy analyst Jennifer Chen at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
