Today’s LiveWire Spotlight looks at NERC’s Electricity Supply and Demand (ES & D) database, which contains actual and projected energy availability/capacity statistics dating back to 1990. The database underlies the annual Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA) of BPS reliability, adequacy, and security.
