Upcoming Texas RE Events
Evolving Grid Workshop - July 16, 2025
The 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA) shows that most of the North American Bulk Power System (BPS) faces growing resource adequacy concerns over the next 10 years. The Evolving Grid Workshop will explore the reliability and security issues for the Texas Interconnection in 2034. The workshop will focus on the trends that will influence electric reliability and security over the next ten years and beyond.
Talk with Texas RE: Extreme Weather Response Risk Element - July 22
Extreme weather events encompass a wide range of situations that can cause major Bulk Electric System (BES) impacts. In this webinar Texas RE will review the risks posed by extreme weather events, how staff reviews registered entities' individual risk profiles, and Reliability Standards EOP-011 and EOP-012.
Talk with Texas RE: Modeling and Model Verification - July 30
The purpose of the MOD-026 Reliability Standard is to ensure models used in planning and interconnection analyses are verified and validated, and that these models accurately represent in-service equipment. This is especially important for new inverter-based resources (IBRs) which are experiencing tremendous growth in the Texas Interconnection. In this webinar Texas RE will review modeling and verification from a reliability perspective.
Talk with Texas RE: Cybersecurity Threats - August 5
The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, with threat actors constantly looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit. The best defense against these malicious actors is vigilance and awareness of the latest methodologies used to compromise systems. Join Texas RE for a review of recently revealed cybersecurity vulnerabilities and how to address them.
