DESCRIPTION:The reliability and resilience of the transforming resource mix
  is more vulnerable to extreme\, widespread\, and long-duration temperatur
 es shifts. For example\, there is an increasing reliance on just-in-time d
 elivery of natural gas\, wind\, and solar to fuel new generating capacity.
  During extreme weather events\, many of these resources may become unavai
 lable\, while at the same time\, the ability of transfers to make up the e
 nergy deficit is limited. Operations planning and communication with natur
 al gas suppliers and pipelines are becoming increasingly important for rel
 iable and resilient operation of the bulk power system. Capacity is needed
  to ensure both the availability of energy and the essential reliability s
 ervices that support the grid.\n\nWith the integration of renewable resour
 ces\, it is necessary to manage the uncertainty from variable resources an
 d engineer their integration in ways that they provide. enough energy and 
 sufficient essential reliability services.\n\nThis can be addressed throug

 energy is built and available to meet decarbonization goals.\n\nBuilding T
